Happy Pink Sat.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

It's almost here and I can hardly wait to pop to cork and bring in the New Year!!
So many blessing and exciting adventures to come....I can hardly sit still.
Whats on my New Years Resolution.....
1. More Adventures......More traveling....trips....eating new foods and talking to more strangers!!!

First page from my 2012 journal, named "Freedom; A New Way.

2. Freedom, Freedom is what I must want for this new year, physically, financially, mentally, spiritually and creatively......We are taught not to be selfish, vain and want things like money or success. This year will be all about that . Learning how to express and create a life that I want. Being selfish, vain, and successful will all be brought in and I will make decisions on each according to how they fit into my beliefs, my world, my truths and my judgements for better or worse. This is my life....no dress rehearsal....

3, In search of a word,

What a twisted mess one starts to weave when one starts to self analyze. To love others has to come from first loving yourself. My words often come back to me only to stir imagination and inspiration. If only someone were to talk to me like that!!! What would I accomplish? How far could my confidence and imagination take me? Self Talk, I see now how important that is. What affirmation should I repeat to myself.? What word would be so strong that it would carry me through doubt and disbelief, "I Am". Even for me that doesn't seem strong enough,. It doesn't define to me in terms of explanation of who I am. What word would push me through the hard times, give me bliss at the highs and hold me during the mundane days? I am in search of such a word.

 Well that is it for starters on my new journey for the year 2012,

for all may you have happiness, health and prosperity,

Happy Pink Saturday!!

With all the parties of the season its hard to remember to eat well. It's hard not to eat those cookies, and homemade candies. But just try to remember that not everyday in the month of Dec. is a holiday. If you can manage to eat health whole foods most of the time and save the special foods and sugar goodies to a minimum you will not only feel better but maintain a over all healthy radiance to the holiday season.

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.

Rest and Recover,


Acrylic,

Jean Hart Artwork

Recovery isn't a goal, but a process that continues each day. You are always repairing and renewing and regenerating yourself. Take yourself outside to absorb the light and shadow of each day. Touch Mother Earth and feel her warmth each day that you live. Don't keep your spirit stuck in yesterday as a new day begins. Prayer is process.

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.

For the Love of a Good Cup of Coffee

When Did Coffee Get So Complicated??????????

It's a good idea to keep an open mind when you go to the coffee shop...or you will get confused with all the choices.

Sometimes ordering can get complicated....Espresso, latte, hot, iced, .........
I just want a hot cup of coffee...not a cafe breve, or expresso com panna for $5.00!!!!!

Coffee Please.

Here's a little list I found that will help you decide what kind of coffee you want to order.

• Express-rich coffee made by forcing water through finely ground, dark roasted coffee beans.
• Latte- espresso with steamed milk
• Cafe au lait-equal parts espresso and steamed mild
• Mocha-latte with a little bit of chocolate
• Cafe breve-espresso with steamed Half and Half
• Espresso com panna-a serving of expresso topped with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream
• Iced espresso- a double expresso poured over crusched ice
• Iced cappuccino-single or double serving of expresso poured over crushed ice and topped with an ounce or two of cold milk

Relax, sit down and enjoy your coffee like you enjoy your life......one small sip at a time....

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.

Let It Be ....experience the change

Let It Be...acrylic monoprint, Jean Hart Artwork

Let it Be..Let the people in and let life be.
Let it happen...Let it go..
Just learn to let it be.

Breathe in.. breathe out, Let it Go. Let it be.

Stop thinking.....let in happen.....Stop directing....let it be.

Sometimes you have to let someone in from across the world to tell you that you are here.

You may not know you are already in the place where one has opened their home to you and provided a space so safe, so accepting and so peaceful that your response is to just Let It Be.

Does if feel foreign to you? To have such a blissful place to hang out in. Where no one wants to change you.

Just learn to Let It Be.

You have traveled far, and you have met many people, and you have had great discussions, and you have now come to a place where......You can say Let This Be My Life...Let It Be.

You've been through the widening paths of intense self-awareness. The aloneness. The over worked, over stressed, over achieved....Now put it down....Let it Be.

I have enjoyed the journey and many changes have been made. Every step was a step out of my comfort zone and I know how strong I am. There has been huge shifting of my perspective and paths have been chosen.

Let It Be...

I will leave a part of myself behind on the path not chosen but my whole self will walk happily onto the path I have picked.

I am now experiencing a sense of wholeness that makes a right choice almost to hard to articulate.

So to this new parting I say Let It Be.

Be Inspired,

Jean

Monday Morning Coffee Time

Good Monday Morning.......

Jean Hart Artwork original fine art design Mug,http://www.zazzle.com/jeanhar1

I'm having a cup of coffee, come join me....
Each morning I start my day with a cup of coffee and Viva La the day begins.....
I have a collection of coffee cups from places I have been, so each morning I have a new cup of coffee with a great memory.
Friends are like that too. Some are old and have been around for awhile while others are new.

What determines a friendship?

Friends are a mystery.....I have old ones, new ones, younger ones, and much older ones. Some I see everyday and others I only send Christmas cards to. But I love them all.

Girlfriends are great to have, they understand me. Its like we have a language of our very own.  It's different from the language I have with my husband or children.

I'm Throwing a party, a coffee cup party.

show me your coffee cup and lets have some interesting conversations.

How do you view your place in the world?

Is it by profession, a calling, a mission?

Drink up.

Books, Books, Books.......Share with me what you are readng******

Learning never stops....and really it should not!

Looking out at the marina today I feel like I could break into a million pieces and still not see all that the world has to offer. I read about the places I will never see and hope that I get a good book that will take me there. In the text I can feel and taste and see the places I can only dream about.

Books can do that, they give me a place where I can live, open my home to and provide a space of such adventure, safely.

Do you know of any other thing that can give you safety, acceptance and mindfulness and the excitements of the possibility for your heart to do anything but break wide open to new experiences?

With great intensity of self-awareness I invite you to read Greek Mythology.
Read it for fun or read it for the psychology.

Experience a sense of wonder.  

Happy Reading

Pink Saturday....and Everyday.....Welcome

Do you ever feel like your just tense and you can't figure out why?

I don't know if it's because I feel summer is almost over and I registered for a fall college class. Or If it's just because my summer projects did not get done. But something's got me all tense today.

She got to the middle and yelled out "I made it Ma!"... ..Well I have no doubt that she will always make it!!!


I wish that I too had a labyrinth to walk around, because I understand when you take the time to be silent and meditate answers do come.
