Share the Joy–Rock Fairy Supplies

The Rock Fairy is in need of some supplies.

One great joy of being a Rock Fairy and spreading little messages of love around my world,

is that the supplier of my precious materials just happens to be

a glorious New Hampshire beach on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean.

How I heart that !

So today, I am headed for a visit to my supplier

to gather rocks,

soothe my soul,

and

soak in the BIG joy !

I hope your week has some juicy, sweet joy in it too, Beautiful Ones !

Holding in light…

Happy and I had a “I am sad” party last night.

I had my own sadness…

mostly about some big hurts from a relationship with a friend.

I am sure, too, that I was picking up on the sadness of the mass consciousness,

with the chaos in the world and remembering the losses of 9/11.

Whatever the cause, I was drawn to spending time just feeling those feelings of sadness and loss, rather than running from them or numbing them with some unhealthy balm like Moose Track ice cream.

I put on the mellow tunes,

lit a candle,

and immersed myself in the creative flow of an art journal page.

Hidden behind some of the collage papers on this page are some venting words,

getting the hurt out of my heart in a way that doesn’t hurt anyone else but that helps heal it in me.

Art Journal Page – “I am fine.”, 9/10/13

Creating this page was cathartic.

And I think it is beautiful.

I am proud of myself for actually feeling it all.

And I am grateful to know these creative, healing tools to help me along the journey.

Today, I have the energy to hold myself, and my world in the light…

just as my brilliant friend, Terri St.Cloud of Bone Sigh Arts, and so many other brave and shiny hearts I know are doing.

Light and love, Beautiful Ones.

We are all in this together.

Haiku My Heart - September arrived.

 

Subtle light changes

Cool sleeps, long sleeves, maybe socks ?

My September blues.

 

 

Yes, folks, September has arrived.

 

Most of you are already fully aware of this and coping, or possibly even enjoying !.

 

I have somehow just become clued into it this morning as I shivered in my own kitchen for the first time in a very long time.

 

It was 46 degrees outside and the windows were all open in summertime mode.

 

Brrr....

 

 

I have had a really good summer.

 

But it feels like I just got started !

 

 

I do love Fall very much, but it seems to have been sprung on me somehow.

 

Ah well...

 

I will take comfort in my stitching and creative juicy stuff,

 

and maybe just a few too many of these new found treasures.

 

I am enjoying play time this month with Deb Taylor and her awesome Mish Mash gang.

 

Plus no more flipflops will mean it's time for red cowgirl boots !

 

Hope your September 2013 is treating you well, Beautiful Ones.

Big love !

Life is magical...

I was in the first place I truly learned the meaning of natural beauty as a child,

spending time in my wooden tent  on the Lake,with some people I love dearly, and getting ready to spend a few days alone enjoying the pace of nature...

when I received a call from a dear friend in need. Suzanne was facing letting her 10 year old Old English sheepdog, Sam,  go, as his body was no longer able to contain his special spirit and he was in a lot of pain.

                                

Suzanne was blessed to find a veternarian who came to the house to help pet parents and the animals themselves through this part of life's journey.

So this amazing dog, who has attended kindergarten everyday with  teacher Suzanne and brought incredible joy and love to so many, was surrounded by love and friends as he took his last breaths here.

I feel so grateful that I was just 2 hours away and could make the drive to be here for my friend. Life sure works in magical ways...

So today, I head back up north for some more family time, a visit to Miss Katie and Thomas before their new school year starts, and back to the lake to soak in the last days of August 2013.

             

Feeling loved, blessed and grateful today.

I hope your week starts off with those kind of feelings too, Beautiful Ones ! 

Big Love !

Haiku My Heart - Lazy Summer Days

Lazy summer days

Soaking in and creating

Beauty all around.

Here we are at Friday again. Time is going so quickly this summer. I have had a quiet week this week, in between some lovely guests who are making my home feel full and my heart feel glad. 

I have been slowly creating bits and pieces, finishing up some needle felting on my Grey Together Being that I made with my friend Suzanne last week...

and stitching away on a lovely piece of eucalyptus dyed Korhogo cloth that amazing Elizabeth (http://elizabethbunsen.typepad.com/) gifted me along the way.

Feeling a little low energy but maybe that is what the lazy days of summer should be ?

Whatever the pace, I am defintely so appreciative of and grateful for the beauty I find around me.

Happy Friday, Beautiful Ones!

Head over to recuerda mi corazon for more haiku love. (http://corazon.typepad.com/recuerda_mi_corazon/2013/08/haiku-my-heart-joyful.html)

Semi-wordless Wednesday - What's up?

Stitching on this very beautiful August Wednesday.

I hope your hump day is a miraculous one!

Big love!

Share the Joy - Shine Your Love Light

I am having a great week with my friend Suzanne. It is so easy and fun to be with an old friend who just gets you !

Yesterday we went to the League of NH Craftsmen Fair  (https://www.nhcrafts.org/craftsmens-fair-overview.phpt) at Mount Sunapee Resort,  and saw so many inspiring and beauty pieces of art. We also met many artists who generously share their stories, talents and knowledge which was a real joy ! Art, best girlfriend, time and a sunny August day. What could be more joyful?

I also had a revelation in the last few days. I have been realizing how much I have let go of some of my favorite tools to wellbeing. Why do we do that ????

Well, one tool that I love and that brings me so much loving goodness, is giving freely without expectations. Getting out of my own mind traps and thinking about others, and how I can add just a little more love into the world.

The Rock Fairy has been a little lazy lately ! Time to get back in the action !

I have been painting some beautiful Rock Beings lately, getting ready to fill up the Etsy shop and sell some wares.

But I think it is time to give away these bits of loving art just for the sake of sharing it and spreading some love.

This"Shine Your Love Light" rock is going to be abandoned on my journey today. Not sure where, but it will be sent out into the world in a love bubble.

Even just thinking about giving like this fills my hear with JOY ! 

I am thinking a Rock Being giveway here on the blog is a good idea too!!! Stay tuned in the next couple of days for the details ! 

Happy Thursday, Amazing Ones ! 

May it be a joyous one !
