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, . . . .

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.

with love and light. . .
