Love Lives On

Love lives on.. and on....

My husband gave my this beautiful red rose to me last night on Valentine's Day. It is a symbol of our long lasting love. A love that has endured over 34 years.

But it is the card that drew me to tears.

I reads like this:

"I like what we've got.

You just don't find it every day- the love, the chemistry, the comfort that we have together... I know your moods, and you know mine, yet I'm always intrigued by what's going on in your head and in your heart.

Everything about you feels right. It says "home" to me.  It says, "This is where I belong." I love what we've got, because it's all I've ever wanted, and I want it to last forever."

                                 Happy Valentine's Day

Aha, that is all I have to say about love today.

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

1 Day to Valentine's Day

        1 Day to Valentine's Day.....

Other Than You

by Girly

If I could have just one wish,

I would wish to wake up everyday

to the sound of your breath on my neck,

the warmth of your lips on my cheek,

the touch of your fingers on my skin,

and the feel of your heart beating with mine...

Knowing that I could never find that feeling

with anyone other than you.

To Be In The Arms of Love

by Jean Hart

I have been taken,

numbed, dumbed an stunned

into the arms of love,

Would you kindly turn yourself

inside out and twist

your heart just so

to be in the arms of love,

If you would, could you please

remove all logical thought

and expose yourself emotionally

to be in the arms of love.

Buckle up for the ride of love is intense.

You have no idea how steely

 you must be

to be in the arms of love.

Love Fortune Cookie,

This is the one, the last one. Let it be the best one of the bunch.

"True happiness is holding the hand of the one you hold dear."

Aha, again how very true it is.

Many blessing to you,

may your heart hold love, joy and good fortune.

8 Days to Valentines Day

Love Fortune Cookie;
"One who loves much, gains much."
Aha, one sentence says soo much. Don' you think?
I have always believed that you must not hold back, give 120% because if things don't work out, as sometimes they don't, you can honestly say to yourself you did all you could and you have no regrets. Have none of this, if only I had done this or that......Live your heart.  Live your life, and I now like to say Live your imagination!!!

Preview of my new book, Imagine Dreams Do Come True

Welcome to a sneak preview of my new book.
"Imagine Dreams Do Come True"
Artwork and Story by Jean Hart

Change of Heart, page 1
Of course dreams come true. Look and you will see that all things around you were once someones dreams.
The friends, the family, the cars, the shops, all the people in your life working so hard.
My story is simple, I once didn't believe that I would be happy, healthy, strong and alive.
I learned to relax and closed my eyes. I let my mind dream of fantastic thoughts. When I woke up, the Universe said, "You asked and I heard, and you know what they say, be careful what you dream, it could all become yours."
Many Blessings,
Jean Hart

Living a life of friendliness and love will help to inspire you to live a life of compassion, hope and joy.
Life is so much more meaningful when we share it with someone else. Often we sit and wait for what will come ahead only to finally get it!! Your future lies deep within yourself. It's way down deep where you keep your dreams. The true life is what happens when you decide its time to act upon those dreams and know, really understand that everything is up to you to make the future happen. And just like Abraham Lincoln said, "The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time." So just take it one step at a time.

The Song of the Pearl

Happy Pink Saturday

The Song of the Pearl

An Ancient Gnostic Poem

The Song of the Pearl, "tells the story of the prince who wears a gorgeous jewel encrusted robe. One day his parents tell him that he must take off the magnificent robe and journey out from his homeland into an alien country where he will find a precious pearl guarded by a fierce dragon. He is instructed to tame the dragon and bring the Pearl back to the kingdom. In so doing he will be permitted to wear the robe again and share the sovereignty of the kingdom with his brother. The prince unquestioningly obeys the king and queen and well supplied with princely goodies sets off on his journey. On reaching his destination, he feels lonely and disoriented. He adopts the clothes and customs and language of the people and forgets who he is and why he is there. He falls into a sort of trance. Hearing of this, his parents write a letter reminding him of his regal heritage and his mission. They attach it to an eagle and dispatch the eagle to the prince. The eagle and the message awaken the prince from his trance. He hypnotizes the dragon with wondrous words and then, with the help of the eagle, he returns home, pearl in hand. He is warmly welcomed and delighted to gaze again on the glorious robe. He sees it reflecting the magnificence and unity of all creation. He covers himself with its splendour and joyfully takes his place beside his brother as crown Prince of the kingdom. "

An Ancient Gnostic Poem, The Hymn of the Robe of Glory, " The Song of the Pearl".

I'm still studying the myths and ancient stories, this is a story of the journey of human consciousness. Through the path of separateness, on towards the Divine journey home.
I present this to you to make your own interpretations and to see the wonderful symbols within this myth, it has survived the test of time in its perennial wisdom,
Please enjoy the story and the artwork.

2nd task of Psyche's Journey,

Psyche and Eros

Her second task, where she is ordered Aphrodite to collect golden fleece from lethally dangerous rams is full of symbolism relating to the sexual energies of the second chakra. This time her ally is the reed. Arising from its watery depths is symbolizes her intuitive feminine wisdom. Th reed tutors her in skills for dealing with the powerfully masculine energy of the rams. Exercising restraint and awareness she calmly gathers the golden fleece without arousing their fury. In transcending her primordial sexual energies she harvests gold." Gillan Ross, Psyche'sYearning,

Well in doing this task, I have chosen to buy yarn, (yes, should have sheared the rams and made my own yarn!) and make a prayer scarf. I picked out charms to spoke to me to put on the scarf as helps for angels and guides.

The Rabbit, always a friend of mine, This is 2011, the year of the Rabbit. and a candle for glow.

For The Love Of Love

For The Love of Love!


For The Love Of Love digital artwork by Jean Hart

 Haiku for you today.

For The Love Of Love

Love at it's fullest,
Heart laughter at it's loudest,
Warm soft and gentle.

When the day begins, I often begin my journal with a list of things I would like to accomplish for the day......It gets longer as the day progresses and I do not cross off as much as I would like. But I try to put something on my list that has something to do with the people I love.
I would say that it's important to put on your to do list, "Put people first".
Say you care, tell someone they matter, and make sure to tell the people you love you love them.
I plan on writing letters to my family and putting them in my sock drawers so when the day comes that my children come to clean out my home......they will find these letters and know my inner ward thoughts and feelings.

Out of the chaos

I'm sure that out of the chaos the love will come shining through.

Tree of Life

Tree of Life

I found this really cool tree sculpture while shopping around town.
It holds candles in the votive cups.
So I thought how cool would it be if the Tree of Life held candles that represented the colors of the chakra.
So I filled them with
Cranberry red, for love and passion.

orange for strength, and success

 yellow for communication
green for healing and prosperity
blue for peace
purple for wisdom
I also added two crystal holders and filled them with black rocks to absorb the negative chi energies.

Happy pink Saturday!!! Sunday and Everyday!!
I would like to introduce you to my Mom. Luella Mees. She has been staying with me for a couple of weeks.

She flew into Salt Lake City from California where she lives. Its been lots of fun having her spend some time with me and my family.
While she was her it was Matthew's Birthday and she made some Birthday Cookies for him.

Yummy!! Chocolate chip, oatmeal, coconut!!! Its a favorite around my house.
She is 87 years old and gets around very well. Mostly we are spending our time cooking. It seems to take up a lot of our day. She only makes food from scratch nothing from a box.
Really life is much slower and simpler. I like it. I use to think Simple meant Dull, unexciting. Maybe I thought life itself should be more INTENSE, INFLATED, OR URGENT!!!  I'm learning that simple, slow and planned is nice.

So here's to a good life, good people and  a simpler way of life.

Happy Pink Saturday!!
Happy 4th of July.....So much to be thankful for living in the USA.
To be grateful for the freedoms we have. Please take time to say a little prayer for our troops overseas and for the ones who are away from home and family.

Make a wish for all the people you love and for the people who love you. It takes courage to live each day to the fullest. We all could use alittle help now and then.

Do What you can to take care of the world. Everything matters.

Love each other and understand meeting in the middle means there will be compromises.

Learn to love and trust, Give your love freely without conditions. It's really the only way.
Celebrate your life, live well and love honestly.

Bring back my Creative Self

Today is the 3rd day of Spring and I'm not sure I'm feeling it!!

Spring has always been a time for new beginnings for me. It's when the snow melts away and the soil is wet and dark. It begs to be played with, turned over and planted.
I also feel it is a time for women to look at their selves and to see what needs to be overturned, played with and what new seeds need to be planted.
I found this wonderful quote on a friends facebook wall. I don't think he will mind if I use it here. I think it is something we all need to hear.

Start now and embank on your journey. Its never too late to believe in yourself.

Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are. ~Malcolm S. Forbes

I love quotes, and poems and reading from inspirational people. Often I will take a poem book and randomly turn to a page and find just the right words I am needing to hear. Have you ever done that?
It's cool when it happens.

 When I was a young girl I had an imaginary friend. I took her everywhere with me. I talked to her, we played all day and she was my best friend. Her name was "Good Girl". Did that mean I was not? Oh, I'm not willing to go there. ... But during my young girl-child years I was creative, I was inspired and I could occupy myself for hours with art projects.
It wasn't until years later that I realized that not everyone talked to themselves. Or even liked to spend to alone with oneself. As I got older my ability to act spontaneously was fading and acting as I was expected took it's place. Even taking art classes became harder to let loose and express myself. I wanted my work to be liked, to be accepted, and I learned it was dangerous to paint outside the lines.

Last winter I ventured outside and I looked at the snow and I felt my creative self come back. I grabbed ahold of Good Girl. I told her to get her snow boots on we are going outside to play in the snow!!! And play we did!! We ran, we dragged our feet and before I knew it I had made a labrinth in my backyard. A very large and big walking labrinth What came out of that day was my creative spirit. All the words, images, experienced and yes expectations of a lifetime came out that day. The belief that something was fundamentally wrong with me or women is so woven into the entertainment of Western civilization that how can we possibly be okay.
Last night I watched a movie, "The Stepford Wives". Bingo.....No there is nothing wrong with wanting a beautiful home, tasty well prepared food, but we do not want to be exactly like others. Fitting In in it's self required us to change ourselves at the very expense of our sanity, health, and pride.
I have brought back Good Girl to me, and together we will find what works for us. How we create and what we like and who we will become.
I think it is a good thing.

What's on my Easel

"The Corners of My Mind"

Acrylic, 8" x 10"  This is the third piece of artwork I created for the poster for the Vagina Monologues.

I was trying hard to figure out what it is that separates each women from each other and the lives they share with the world.

It is true that women wear many faces. It starts when they are young and  innocent, letting their imaginations run free.

As woman  matures some of that innocents fades away.  They must learn to get along, co-exist and change with lives situations.

She will become a  daughter, sister, cousin, aunt, lover, wife, and mother.

Each with its own mask, each with it's own set of rules.

But as I have read many stories about women, their stories have one common thread. Of course, this too might be said for all mankind as well.

We all want to be accepted, we all want to be appreciated, we all want to be loved.

Enjoy my artwork and enjoy the song that inspired it. 

Deep within the corners of my mind
Melody Gardot
I keep a memory of your face
And I only pull it out
When I long for your embrace
Deep within the corners of my mind
I'm haunted by your smile
As it promises me joys
Like a journey to a tropic isle
It's not hard to see what you do to me
It's like a page right out of fist time wave
Though I try to fight
All the word you write, leave me standing
In the starry robe in some tragic lovers place
But deep within the corners of my mind
I'm praying secretly
That eventually in time
There'll be a place for you and me
That eventually in time
There'll be a place for you and me
There'll be a place for you and me
Deep within the corners of my mind
