Wishcasting Wednesday: I Say No To...

Today's prompt at Jamie Ridler Studios is What Do You Wish To Say No To? I wish to say no to giving into self-pity. The last week has been full of ups and downs and sometimes I find myself drowning in the downs. Logically I tell myself that this too shall pass. What a wonderful phrase. It gives us hope for the future, but what about right here, right now?I know a lot of what I'm feeling is hormones. I used to hate getting my period and...

Things I love! Paints! Mindbloom! And Smelly Things!

 All rights reserved by Jude1007 Happy Friday dearhearts. I was sitting here running through a list in my head of all I wanted to blog about and I just couldn't decide. I've had a really great day. It started off full of vulnerability and ended up being transformational. Sometimes I am afraid to share what is in my heart, what I need, what makes me happy. Today I (re)learned that it is okay to speak truth. It is okay to want...

Wishcasting Wednesday: What I Wish to Enjoy

This week's prompt at Wishcasting Wednesday is "What Do You Wish To Enjoy?". I giggled as I read it because there are so many things that I wish to enjoy, especially lately. I don't think I could count all of my blessings if I used all my fingers and my toes. (What about you? How many blessings are in your life right now?) Lately, I have my bad days when I'm grumpy and it's hard to see all of the beautiful things in life and that's okay. I think...

I Believe In You

I've been hiding out the last few days under a little rock called self-criticism and insecurity. When you are under this rock it doesn't feel so little. I've been struggling lately on what to write about, which is pretty odd, seeing as how at the moment I have a list of over 35 topics I plan to touch on at some point or another.So what was stopping me from sitting here and writing all of the thoughts I want to share with the world? That pesky feeling...

So this is what it feels like...

As I'm sure you know, because I talk about all of the time, I am a member of the beautiful Goddess Leonie's Goddess Circle. A few months ago Leonie launched her Business Goddess E-Course I was kind of apathetic about it because I didn't have a business, nor did I have the drive to create a business. I found myself being envious of all of the other Goddesses in the Circle with their fabulous ideas, creativity, and talents, and Riding their Wild...

Wishcasting Wednesday: I Wish to Choose...

It is Wishcasting Wednesday and this week's prompt is "What Do You Wish To Choose?" I choose Authenticity. Authenticity seems to be my word for the month. It is honestly something that I am still trying to grasp the full meaning of what it means to me. I need to figure out what is authentically "me". I didn't realize that it would be so hard to figure out who I want to be and what I want, but I am making progress on the journey.Over the last...

Breath is Life

There are so many things we can do to help our bodies and to show love to our bodies. We can eat healthy, we can exercise, we can abstain from cigarettes, alcohol and drugs. We can also breathe. I know, you already ARE breathing, but that's not what I'm talking about. I am talking about deep, slow, intentional, releasing of the breath.When we get stressed out our breathing tends to suffer. We breathe more quickly and shallowly which can deprive our...

A Note of Gratitude

Good morning my Loves. Lately I've been so busy with work, and participating in eCourses, and art and it's been fantastic. A few days ago I repainted my bathroom and since then I've been filled with all sorts of creative energies. Life has been good, fantastic even. I have had so many things to be thankful for that I don't know if I can even begin to list them. I recall one moment a few days ago, just after waking up when I felt a huge wave of gratitude...

I Am Leo, Hear Me Roar

I'm all about giving myself second chances... 2,568 chances... whichever, ya know. ;) Every month I can start all over, I can set my intentions, I can make it great. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. No harm in trying, right?My birthday is coming up later this month and that means I am a Leo. A strong, roaring, ferocious,...
