Blue Monday

Blue Monday

Hearts Wish, Jean Hart

Midnight souls, Jean Hart
All the Christmas decoration have been put away with care for next year.
All the reflections on last year were looked at and a list made for the coming year.
Yet, something feels undone.
Something feels just a bit empty, even though I have great plans for the coming year. I have wonderful plans for new paintings. I just feel a little sad today.
Blue Monday really isn't about being sad. It's a display of blue things, paintings and now I guess feelings.
I have set my timer to only write for 30min today....since the only way I know how to get out of a blue mood is by moving. I will have to get to my feet soon.
Picasso had a blue mood period.
"The Blue Period of Picasso is the period between 1900 and 1904, when he painted essentially monochromatic paintings in shades of blue and blue-green, only occasionally warmed by other colors. "

New Moon Phases

New Moon

This year I have been paying a lot more attention to the phases of the "Moon".

The moon is very famine, if you pay attention to its cycles you will notice that a women's body naturally harmonizes with the phases of the moon.

There is a lot to know about the moon and its phases but I will only share the little I know with you here. I celebrate each phase and love the energy I get from seeing it glow down on to me.

New Moon:" In astronomy the new moon begins with the dark of the moon, the sky being moonless for about three days before the new moon is actually visible. This is the time for deep inner reflection and introspection. It is the time to be still and listen to your inner voice. Then, as the visible new moon approaches, it is the time plant new seeds for new ideas and new projects. It is the time of birth and renewal. This is a great time to visualize your life for the next moon cycle and focus on a energy that will see you through the month. During this time, rest, be still, and meditate. Feel that deepest and most internal movement of your inner self. In this stillness, allow the seed of the coming weeks to be planted in you." Denise Linn 

For me this is a great time of meditation. I think of the things I would like to accomplish in the next few weeks. Planting seeds, to me, means making wishes. On the New Moon, I make three wishes. I hold them close to me but start formalizing a plan of action. Because I believe wishes and dreams only work when you partake in their success.

So tonight before I go to lay my head down for the night, I will go outside to see the New Moon, give thanks for its coming to shine its light on me and make my three wishes.

Be Inspired,

~Jean

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day
Yes, it is here! The day we get to tell the people we love just how much they mean to us.


Love is sitting watching the moon with the one you love.



I read this book, "Self Portrait" by Kahlil Gibran

It tells of his life by letters he wrote, relationships entirely through correspondence.  He was a man with a creative mind. But, not many of us know of his love story.

For that, a true love story, you will have to read The Broken Wings.

There is where he tells us of his true love. A love so strong and honored and true. It's a sad story, to love what you can not have.

Bring a hankie when you read it.

I have started a journal of stories and poems. I was not always a lover of poems. I have learned to appreciate the word more and so when I find a poem that moves my spirit I write it in my book, along with a little story of why this is so.......I have become sentimental in my older years.

 Make lots of wishes and hopes and dreams and then get out into the world and help them come true. It is in the doing, doing, doing that dreams come true and hearts are fill will love.

This is our  Love Fortune Cookie for the very special Valentine's Day

"Let love be your greatest aim."

Happy Valentine's To Us All

Be Inspired,

~Jean
