Share the Joy

This week my joy is directly correlated

with some wins. . . . 

I finished my written final

 for my coaching mastery course.

I picked up two new clients 

who are focusing on creativity or intuition,

which is just a whole pile of fun for me.

I've been creating on Polyvore

(what else is new?)

like this piece.

Playing with color, inserting graphics elements

like words, numbers, or symbols,

thinking about design and visual harmony

and floating in creativity

all those things

thrill me.

My World Monday: Dawn's Show

Hey there, boys and girls. . . 

art afficionados

my friend Dawn has a show opening

in Prescott, Arizona

featuring her folk art

(with lots of metal bits and ephemera,

if I know Dawn)

and

if you happen

to be in the vicinity of Prescott

between now and June 15th,

please check out Dawn's masterpieces.

If you see something you can't live without,

I'm sure Dawn would appreciate finding a good home

for her creations.

Share the Joy: A Beautiful Place

One thing that gives me

oodles of JOY

is being in love with

the place I live.

Not just my house,

though I love having a space

where people hang out,

but the expanse of green grass 

(that someone else mows),

the ponds that are fishing grounds

for eagles and osprey.

I love my garden in springtime,

when the azaleas and camellias provide color in April

and the lilacs and peonies get ready to pop in May.

I love living in a small town
that harbors a fishing fleet
as well as pleasure boats

and around every corner 
there's another vista.

What gives you JOY?

Tell us. Share it.

Paying attention to moments of pleasure

and joy attracts more.

True Words Tuesday: Look Ahead

While we might look a whole lot wiser if 

we could live life backward,

life just doesn't work that way.

If you're always looking backwards,

you're gonna bump into a lot of walls.

You're gonna pass Mr. Right

and never see his face.

You're gonna watch your world get smaller

while you're facing away from

the universe of possibilities.

Love what is.

Dream big.

Yes, you can.

Share the Joy: Joy and Frustration

I thought I'd have a photo of me 

with Brené Brown

to share this morning,

but I'm still waiting for the camera pics

to show up in my e-mailbox.

Brené Brown's talk on Daring Greatly

gave me great joy -

she's warm, funny, grounded,

and one of the world's best story tellers.

Plus I happen to agree with her

about vulnerability

down to

"If you don't do vulnerability, 

then vulnerability's going to do you."

If you haven't discovered her yet,
you're missing out.
You can remedy that by watching here

What I don't enJOY

are the vagaries of sending camera pics

and wondering where in heck they went.


p.s.
Found the ones I thought I'd sent from my gmail account
sitting unsent in my drafts file
even though I clicked the send icon.

The ones I sent via my Yahoo mail took over an hour
to finally materialize.
What's THAT about?
I thought the internet was all about
instant gratification.

And I'm the original
"God grant me patience and I want it now" girl.
