Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone and thanks for checking in for my greeting.

As the holidays speed up our lives we sometimes feel a little too stressed with all the running and meeting with friends and family. The holiday parties, company gatherings and such. Then the weather starts to become overbearing as we rush to reach our destinations. Travel gets out right dangerous as we slip and slide our way around to get the shopping finished. And sometimes it becomes more of a hassle than an enjoyment. This is when we need to just stop and breath. Take in the magic of the season by slowing down just a bit, taking it easy and knowing that you will finish all your tasks before the deadline. I sit back and remember all the years I spent doing all of the above and the days now seem more filled with enjoying the magic and the miracles that I see around me each and everyday. There was a time that I didn't see it. Being much too busy in my steadfast journey of getting it all done. One thing I learned through it all was that, in the end, I finished! I did it! And I won!

Now it's more about watching others go through what I had and there is a certain satisfaction in knowing the difference between enjoying and living in the moment opposed to rushing my way through it. I am so grateful for the miracles I see manifesting around me every single moment of the day and all I can say is, "Thank you Lord for allowing this most wonderful opportunity, to live this wonderful and beautiful life and to experience the love that flows around me."

Take time to be "in the moment" and enjoy your lives because they pass you by much to quickly. There is no regaining that moment once it's gone and you need to be present to receive this most beautiful gift. Most of all be grateful for everything in your life. . .

and remember to breath. . . it's God's greatest gift. . .

Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for visiting me today. . .blessed be

November Energy

WOW! Talk about the energies of November as Thanksgiving is nearly here and the Full Beaver Moon is on the 21st. Things have really manifested quickly this month and in spite of the few ups and downs, everything is moving along very well, I must say. Leaves are almost off of all the trees and it's beginning to feel more like the winter is upon us.

Sales have been awesome this season and the time for creating in the shortest of days has been a challenge to keep up with the flow. The postal service is working hard and taking too much of my earnings this season as well. December the rates will go up again at which time I will take over a new position at work, more money, more demands on my time as well. It should all be every interesting, too bad I am not able to sit back and watch it from someone elses prospective.

So, let's breath. . . take in a full breath into your belly and hold it. . . exhale and just see the negativity flow away from you. . . another breath. . . hold it. . . and feel yourself starting to relax. Now with each and every breath we become more and more relaxed. . . falling into our safe place where we are able to just sit back and enjoy the moments with spirit. . . cuddling us like children. . . another deep breath. . .hold it. . . exhale and see yourself completely cleansed, relaxed and feel the love that comes through you. At this point imagine yourself where it is you most want to be. Your health, your life, seeing everything just as you want it to be. . . hold that thought and be grateful for everything you do have, no matter how insignificant it may be. . . gratitude. . . gratitude. . . gratitude. . . thank you for all the wonder in my life. . .

I'll leave you with that. Have a most wonderful day, . . . .

Creating from Spirit

Thinking about Thanksgiving and how grateful I am for the abundance that surrounds me. The winds of change are blowing and the leaves are falling from the trees as I sit here and watch out my window. Pretty soon there will be no leaves on the maple trees to block the view of the empty harvested fields. The forest that lays on the other side of the driveway is starting to show more light as well, as the days pass and I can hear them falling there too. What a blessed place I dwell situated back off the country roadway in the quiet of the woods. I search for new ideas for fall festive creations but all I want to do is sit and watch the season change from the warmth of the loft. And so again, I will meditate on what is to come next. . . as spirit guides me to create a seasonal wonder.
The New Moon is in Scorpio which will reveal secrets if you care to know of them. Take in a few minuets to close your eyes you may just find a few of your own lurking about. It's also a very good time to set your intentions of creating some miracles for your own future. Setting some goals before the new year has brought very good results for me in the past. Just sit back and relax, take in a few nice and slow deep breaths and just ask for what it is you want. Be certain though, cause you could get something more than you anticipated.
I'm not manefesting snow but the snowmen are certainly coming out of my head very fast these days along with the santa moons, stars and boots.
You have a most wonderous day. . .
with love and light. . .

Harvest Vacation Tyme

Over the last couple of weeks I have been on vacation from my regular full time job and have had the pleasure of spending some much valued time with my best friend and business partner, Vicki, of Oak Ridge Primitives. Together we laughed until we cried, created some winter artwork and came up with many new ideas to help us build a quality line for this fall and winter. Vicki does the craft faires and markets during the weekends, we still sell most of our fall and winter line on eBay. This business has really meant allot to both of us, not only for the financial aspects of it but because we are able to brainstorm and come up with some really neat stuff. EBay allows us to showcase our creations and sell them all over the world which is something that we find most attractive as artists.

Our logo is "Where hand & Spirit come together" and I really have to say that the creations offered on our site are just that. We were talking just today and she asked me how I did the eyes on "Sonja" the snow flake girl, which I finished this morning. I told her, "You know, sometimes I just don't know how I'm going to do it and I push ideas around as if I'm talking to someone, then I sit down to accomplish it and that's exactly what happens, it gets accomplished, and sometimes I can't even say that I, personally am responsible for it." It's as if there is someone else working with my hands because I really don't know how I would come up with some of these things that I manage to do. And with much joy and gratitude I finish them and take pictures to get them listed on eBay for auction. Creating is truly a gift.

These last two weeks have been a wonderful reminder that "hand and Spirit" do work together and I am so grateful to be the vehicle of expression for spirit to work through. And so before I go back to the daily grind once again, I will finish the rest of my work and list them tomorrow.

On the left hand side of this blog there is a link to Oak Ridge Primitives eBay auction, please take the time to take a look. . .and enjoy our lives with us. . .

Happy Samhain

Happy Samhain or Halloween as most people call it.

Either way it is the day before All Saints Day, and it is when the veil is lifted between the worlds. So if you experience any spirit contacts today, don't be too alarmed by them as they are visiting us while the veil is transparent.

Samhain is the Witches New Year and starts the turning of the wheel all over again. It is the day that we remember and honor those who came before us, those who left their legacy in form of our family traditions, sayings and for some, habits. As we look back at our lives with our families I am certain you are able to find many delightful celebrations, Halloween being one of them. This is a day that the while whole U.S. celebrates it and most people don't even understand why since it is not taught in Christianity. Just know that our fore fathers are watching over us and it's time to celebrate their lives and ours.

Samhain means, "summers end" in the Celtic world and is celebrated with bon fires and apple dunking. However you celebrate Samhain, Happy Hallows Eve, do it with joy . . .

Blessed be. . .

Merry Midsummer Solstice

Merry Midsummer Solstice to each and everyone one. . .
June 21st marks the first day of summer in the northern hemisphere and a day much celebrated around the globe. This is the longest day (shortest night) of the calender year. This is a day of new beginnings, reminding us that it is the sun that brings forth life. A day for celebrations. Celebrate by tending and nurturing your planets today and sew the seeds of the future. A bon-fire is traditional on this day and strengthens the balance between light and dark. This is the night that the fae or "little people" dance in celebration for the sun god and pay tribute to Litha.
Midsummer Solstice always paints this picture in my mind and brings joy to my heart.

Another strong aspect this week is the lunar eclipse on the 26th, which is known as the Grand Cross, in astrological aspects which forces change. What needs to change in your life? Notice in the next six months how this aspect has pushed you to change, giving up things from your past, clearing the way. The eclipse holds messages for each of us, be open to receiving as you move towards your ascension path.
A message on verbal power;
Do you understand the power of your words and how they effect everything around you? One gift we all brought here with us is the power of manifestation. Everything you talk about comes into view and shows up in your world. Think before you speak. Align yourself with who and what you want to project into your reality as the power of your words is bringing it all about.
I'll leave you with that for now, enjoy the solstice and lunar eclipse.

with love and light. . .

Fabulous February

February has arrived in Wisconsin with another bang, cold, snow and now here on the 6th it is sunshine and 27 degrees. Looking across the snow laden back yard there are bunny tracks which tells us that spring is just around the corner as the little ones are coming out and wandering in the early morning.

Jupiter and Pluto are melding today, bringing us the treasure of fantasy, the rambling of spirit. Even though the day could be a little confusing as we attempt to do too much, and memories of past seem to arrive again, we will deal with it and be left with a sense of forgiveness for those we have left behind us as we move forward.

February is bringing lessons in courage and release. But what we didn't expect is that the future is up to us, choose what you want, there is no more karma to lead you down your path, it's wide open now, your options are unlimited so choose wisely. Shift your energy and choose. . . what's your wildest dreams, your biggest hope? That is what February energy is about.

I have posted in my side bar, a link to Uriel Heals and the channel Jennifer Hoffman. The link will take you to Blog Talk radio where you are able to listen to her show and the web site where she shares the messages from Archangel Uriel.

Take time in your day to communicate with source, to listen for guidance, either in the morning or before you arise or when you lay down at night, before you go to sleep, open your heart to the source within you, allow your connection with source to fill your being with the love of the divine, allow it to encompass you and be filled with the energy of your future.

One of my last posts I had mentioned a new ebay store called Primitive Hallow. After contemplating that and setting up my shop with templates, etc, I had not realized at that time that it was not about my artwork. So I am pleased to say that I am staying at Oakridge Primitives where I belong with my dearest ever friend, Vicki, who loves and makes every effort to understand me. It appears that Primitive Hallow is about spirit. . . a place to bring forth the meditations and communications I receive. I have made this blog to messy with art and spirit so I am separating the two and will coninue these conversations on Primitive Hallows blog.

But, before I go allow me to offer you one more meditation to help you ground yourself when the energies around you are getting to be too much to handle

Sit back in your chair, feet touching the floor, back straight and your hands on your lap. As you take in a deep breath feel the earths energy rising up through the floor, into your feet, up though your legs, belly and into your heart chakra. As you release the breath, allow it to surround you in a bubble that extends to arms reach. Again take a deep breath and upon release, the air is filling your bubble with healing love, heart chakra energy. Now as you take in another breath, see the light above your head as a stream of light entering through the top of your head going straight into the heart chakra. Now on the exhale see the white and green energies mix inside your bubble and know that you are safe within this healing bubble of energy , that all energy around you is being processed and keeping you safe from the outside world.

When I am experiencing too much outside energy, I do this to protect myself, so that I do not absorb too much of other peoples energy as it makes me "ill" feeling.

Have a wonderous day and remember to make your visions very clear and don't be afraid to live your fantasy, it is yours in the making.

with love and light. . .

Winter 2010

It has been and extraordinary winter thus far. From below zero degrees to 35 and sunny all in a weeks time span. I actually had my coffee on the deck this morning, snow covering the ground and fields as far as I can see yet the sun is so close to the earth I felt as if I was getting a tan.

2010 is beginning with a bang and more to come I am certain. With the opening of the compassion vortex in Haiti we are seeing a huge flush of people coming to the aid of this poor little country. Opening their hearts and wallets to help in any way that they can, sending healing energy to this place of darkness.

As we sit in appreciation for what we have and dream about what we would like to manifest, let us try to remember, with gratitude, the abundance in our lives and the good fortune we have been allowed to enjoy. Being grateful is the key to happiness so share it with everyone around you. . . it's contagious

till next time. . .

Going with the flow in 2010

Good day and happy New Year 2010!!!
Every year around this time I go through this pulling of spirit and mind which forces me to create things that I am not real comfortable with such as Valentine hearts, and mothers day gift like art.
So this year I have decided to stop trying to create what the seasons are calling for, as far as holidays go, since I feel so challenged in doing that, and just go with the flow of spirit. I am going with the concept of Primitive Hallow, which to me is "one of a kind as illuminated by spirit" and creating the things I love to create which are All Hallows Eve and earth based treasures like snow men, Santa's, moons and stars, spooky books, prim kitty's and crows, a few prairie dresses, pumpkins and seasonal wall hangs. No mass production of anything, for the sake of anyone else's expectations.
I have spent the last year working a full time job to make ends meet and have had little time to produce my artwork but now I feel that my intention to provide quality prims must be my main focus and allow spirit to guide me once again. I will post as often as possible to keep you up on my latest expression of art and share with you my best works.
I hope you had a very Happy New Year and may God bless your journey as much as mine has been blessed. . .
until next time. . . pc
