Happy Thanksgiving

As the Thanksgiving Holiday approaches I am thinking about all the gratitude I have for my family, friends, business and the educational blessings in my life. When just about 14 months ago, I felt like my world was spiraling out of control, it was actually on a journey to balance and alignment that I have come to believe was long over due.
So why did it take so long for this life to get in balance is secondary to the question of how did I get so off track in the first place. I have come to believe that with all of it's seemingly outrageous moments, painful moments and 'trauma drama' there were so many blessings along the way that are becoming more and more apparent to me now.

I am a walking miracle. I have learned much, loved much and have finally found the source of my creative energy. May You be blessed this Holiday Season with insight and joy, and may your Thanksgiving Prayer be that of Gratitude even for those things that sometimes feel 'wrong', may all your dreams soon manifest themselves to you and may you IN JOy Brightest Blessings. ~GypsyOwl

Healing the Adult within me.

I have heard a lot about talking to and guiding your inner child into healing. I have practiced this method myself and especially like to have my teddy bear help me with this. What I just discovered it that there are also some Adult Inside areas of myself that will benefit from this method of healing.

While I have been taking a week break from classes, I had a long list of things to do that have become a regular between class routine. Organized my desk, check on update for my website and computer, get text books exchanged etc. On Monday there was a storm moving through here and the power went off for over three hours. While it was off, I wandered around with a flashlight only a small bit of light in the northern window.

I found a journal that I had written years ago. I sat by the bleek light of the northern window feet up on the couch house empty I read it. I laughed, I cried, I contemplated.... But, mostly I fell in love with her all over again and talked to her about how precious she is. She often took on other peoples 'stuff' and rarely saw where they had done her wrong. I had to straighten her out on a few points like: It was not your fault, It was not about you, There was nothing wrong with you.... That one knew how you live....he took advantage of you sweetie, It is ok to love.... I won't let anyone hurt you like that again, Hoping he is free of his demons now Your only fault was loving him....you did nothing wrong. and so forth.

When the lights came back on... I wanted to keep reading. I got to see myself looking back, and the strangest feelings came up as if she was someone else as if she was really making the best of what was and her compassion was astonishing. I just love her. And I am grateful that the lights went out so I could see somthing I had not seen before on a journey back in time. I got to see myself in a different light. I learned that there have been parts of myself dwelling unknowingly in the past. I now have a way to help myself heal more, to live more freely as I leave the past behind and move on into a Bright and Loving future.

My Inspirations

I am often asked about my artwork "What inspired you". I have given this some thought and realized that each piece has it's own answer.

In general I am inspired by nature, people and other artists. My most recent inspirations are right on my back porch. I have some potted flowers, some visiting butterflies and hummingbirds and an occasional lizard, frog or dragonfly that keep me company. When they are close enough to see their eyes for extended periods of time, it is a sign for me to capture their beauty in art. They pose for me. I recently finished two new designs, a poinsetta and a lotus, these reminded me the beauty I find in florals. ( see them at http://www.cafepress.com/gypsyowl )

I also love landscapes, rocks, trees and water. I am inspired by clouds, the moon and sunsets. I guess you might say that my art is a reflection of what I see in nature, in my everyday life and in the extraordinary way that the Earth and the Universe collaborate in the beauty of living.

A friend of mine has an online shop that features all of her wonderful homemade soaps and bath products. It is Wonderful just like her. visit her shop at http://www.butterfliesandmiracles.com
