The Artful Medium

“As a child I felt myself to be alone, and I am still, because I know things and must hint at things which others apparently know nothing of, and for the most part do not want to know. Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”
Carl Jung

“Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours.”
Hermann Hesse

May you never be the reason why someone who loved to sing, doesn’t anymore. Or why someone who dressed so uniquely, now wears plain clothing. Or why someone who always spoke so excitedly about their dreams, is now silent about them.

May you never be the reason someone gave up on a part of themselves because you were demotivating, non-appreciative, hypercritical, or even worse—sarcastic about it. —Sharouk Mustafa Ibrahim

Make an effort to take the time to bless others and acknowledge and support their greatness—or anything that make them special! You’d be surprised how much power you have! 😊

All day I've been thinking about growth and pushing through old ways, habits, small limitations. Old realities, routines. I want to grow and deeper into my path and being. I love being around people who think and do the same thing. I am not a follower, I am a leader. I am responsible for my creation 🔥💥💯

12 Things I Love about Conscious Women. She doesn’t just talk the talk, she also walks the walk and that totally lights me up.

For many years I've had a blue feather appear in strange ways in my world to bring attention to something that I needed to know, give me strength, or direct me n a new direction.
One time a cat walked up to me as I sat on the grass in my old backyard and he spit out a blue feather on my lap, another time a child ran up to me at the park at the zoo and handed me a blue feather, another time I found a blue feather in the crack of the front steps. Each time that I found that blue feather I felt like it was a message from the angels telling me something. Right now I'm in a really good spot, Im blissful, I'm able to be creative on a daily basis, spending time with friends,
working in my garden, I've even got a new kitten named Tipper in my life and taking day trips several times this summer.
However, I've had this thought rattling around my head and this morning, which I won't go into, because it's personal but I need to share that we are never alone, we are being supported on all levels and that you can ask for answers and they come in strange ways, I found these two things at the top of the stairs.

Today I am expanding my joy by adding this guy to my home. My cat MiMi liked his photo so I'm getting a free cat at 11:00 today, delivered to my home. I've been wanting a companion for her since I lost my Fritz last year, I envisioned a grey cat like my friend Lorie has.
I opened Facebook to find some people wanting to go away on a mission trip needing a home for this guy. I prayed for him. He is healthy, fixed and he was a rescue. My heart is full.

Now booking parties for August.
It's fun, we can even do it outside if you want.
A picnic reading party would be fun.
