life beautiful art
Art is not about thinking something up. It is the opposite - getting something down.
dream inspiration matter
Stop telling yourself that dreams don't matter, that they are only dreams and that you should be more sensible.
confused heart thinking
We don't always know what makes us happy. We know, instead, what we think SHOULD. We are baffled and confused when our attempts at happiness fail...We are mute when it comes to naming accurately our own preferences, delights, gifts, talents. The voice of our original self is often muffled, overwhelmed, even strangled, by the voices of other people's expectations. The tongue of the original self is the language of the heart.
art healing air
Art opens the closets, airs out the cellars and attics. It brings healing.
wise art essence
At it's essence, art is an alchemical process. Alchemy is a process of transformation.
creativity order creative
Creativity is the natural order of life. Life is energy: pure creative energy.
life gratitude truth
... success or failure, the truth of a life really has little to do with its quality. The quality of life is in proportion, always, to the capacity for delight. The capacity for delight is the gift of paying attention.
creativity healing heart
The heart of creativity is an experience of the mystical union; the heart of the mystical union is an experience of creativity.
creativity
Creativity requires faith. Faith requires that we relinquish control.
perfection trying quests
Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough - that we should try again.
dream moving
As you move toward a dream, the dream moves toward you.
spiritual art divine-guidance
When we seek daily spiritual guidance, we are guided toward the next step forward for our art. Sometimes the step is very small. Sometimes the step is, "Wait. Not now." Sometimes the step is, "Work on something else for a while." When we are open to Divine Guidance, we will receive it. It will come to us as the hunch, the inkling, the itch. It will come to us as timely conversations with others. It will come to us in many ways--but it will come.
inspirational change positive
Growth is an erratic forward movement: two steps forward, one step back. Remember that and be very gentle with yourself.
loyalty heart healing
I am compassionate. I allow my heart and imagination to embrace the difficulties and concerns of others. While maintaining my own balance, I find it within myself to extend sympathy, attention, and support. When they are grieved, I listen with openness and gentle strength. I offer loyalty, friendship, and human understanding. Without undermining or enabling, I aid and assist others to find their strength. I allow the healing power of the Universe to flow through me, soothing the hearts and feelings of those I encounter.
