BEGINNINGS GRANT US SO MUCH HOPE

Today we will be reading many comments about the past year and the year to come.  We will make promises to ourselves and others concerning so many areas of personal failure we believe we have.  I am not going to do that.  Instead I am going to build on the accomplishments I have made in 2013 however small, and be grateful of all of the gifts that have been granted me this past year.

Good friends and family surround me.  I have enjoyed an incredible year with my partner who is also my high school sweetheart.  This is the year that Dream Designs was born and the year that I experienced many Creative Meditations.  I started out calling this post IN THE BEGINNING but I think I will change it to BEGINNINGS GRANT US SO MUCH HOPE.  

• Hope for the future
• Hope for friends and family
• Hope for Humanity
• Hope for me

Hope my friends.  Have high hopes.  Dream with your mind and your heart. Release it into the universe. Shout it out silently. Listen to the silence.  It is speaking volumes and believe.  I believe.

THE PROCESS OF INTENTION

The other night during meditation a thought entered my mind.  I posted it to face book before I posted on my blog.  It gave me pause and I have been thinking about it every moment since then.  In order to be good one must practice.  In order to practice one must be disciplined.  In order to be disciplined one must be dedicated.  When I posted to face book, a long time friend added that one must also include intention as intention is without judgement so is free of assumptions and expectations.........And I will add that when one is free of assumptions and expectations one cannot fail.

Good night my dear friend Aliceann.  Namaste to all.

HOPE OF THINGS TO COME

Each morning during meditation I draw a zentangle (TM).  Mindful drawing has added another level of experience to this divine ritual.  As I sat my mind focused on the passing of Nelson Mandela who clearly was a brave and insightful spirit.  Gentle thoughts began to enter my mind as I quietly put pen to paper.I felt grounded and at peace, and then a sense of great hope for all of us overcame my emotions. It is with this thought that I offer this this tangle.

I am ready for my studio work today.  For some reason I feel especially creative.
