Mama Strong

These are my two favorite soul collages because they were made for me by Addie.  She is so encouraging and always wants to bring out the best in others.  I love this about her.  

In these images she is telling me I am strong, I am a leader, and I am tough.  Believe me, there is nothing like hearing this from your little girl.  Sometimes I worry about letting her down.  I know she doesn't expect me to be perfect- and she's only 8!  It is interesting the added pressure I put on myself to succeed knowing Addie is watching and learning.  

I imagine these will always be my most special soul collages.

I value inspiration and innovation...a new and better way!

I have found in my rbbp soul searching that it is important to me to come up with new ways of doing things, to be innovative and creative.  I am an idea person. Often my creative ideas are better than the "creative product" that I actually come up with in the end.  I think the innovative ideas portion is my more developed strength.

I always imagined myself coming up with some sort of system. Something to make things more simple or even better, more efficient.  I can't say that I've come up with anything yet for a financial planning innovation but it is always in the back of my head.  I have to remind myself that I don't need to re-invent the wheel to make a difference in people's lives but I have to pay attention to the fact that coming up with a new system is always in the back of my head.

My best idea is to come up with a new way to organize personal finance. Something for the creative mind.  I've thought about work at home business moms and their need for a simple system for their small business.
I'd like it to be creative like the rbbp. An app, a computer program, a journal... something to be clear, concise, simple and helpful. This is as far as I've gotten, for now.

Finding My Future

I have spent a ton of energy this week working on my Right Brain Business Plan and tapping into those things that will lead me to success in business.  Crafting a way to integrate my creative world with my professional world is a challenge. Results should prove successful as it just makes sense for me.  Now to figure out how to develop a Right Brained Financial Plan...

Heart Centered Financial Planning

  Sounding pretty ridiculous, I know.  I lean toward the creative, right brained side; I'm most at ease with inspiration and intuition.  Now I am a Certifiied Financial Plannier(TM). Hmmm? How can I make this fit?

  My thoughts tend toward coaching others with their financial plan, personal finances, and their business selves by tapping into the right brain, or  creative mind:

 I see my self facilitating others to visualize what their life of financial peace is like and working together to make a heart felt plan to put them right there in the middle of that picture.  We'll explore it, talk about it, feel what it is like to be in that seat and within the picture.

  You get dizzy with the numbers? I totally get that.  Let me hear your heart and tell you what to do to follow it.  Let's get your financial house in order. Integrate it. You know, clean house/clean mind. Don't be afraid of it, avoid it or ignore it...Let's organize this plan in a way you can see, feel and understand.  

Ahhh... Brainstorming my life's purpose can feel overwhelming at times but the excitement of tiny epiphanies tells me I am headed in the right direction. I am grateful for insights that cross my mind and jump start my spirit.

I think of you every day Dad

Our Walk Through The Labyrinth

"Your life is a sacred journey. And it is about change, growth, discovery, movement, transformation, continuously expanding your vision of what is possible, stretching your soul, learning to see clearly and deeply, listening to your intuition, taking courageous challenges at every step along the way. You are on the path... exactly where you are meant to be right now... And from here, you can only go forward, shaping your life story into a magnificent tale of triumph, of healing of courage, of beauty, of wisdom, of power, of dignity, and of love."
Caroline Adams

Recognize the Inner Observer

I am the one who listens to the inner babble of my subconscious mind. I listen from the seat of Self behind her noise.

I have finally figured out why it sometimes feels like I am sick of myself; like I've been on a road trip or a vacation with myself too long. That friend that I am just a tad tired of.  It is that babble that goes on in the mind that I am tired of listening to.  Her ideas are often wrong. She can be really self destructive, too.  Most of the time it is impossible to get her to just be quiet. No wonder I wish the trip was over and she'd go home!

Addie's Inspiring Artwork...

Addie took an Art class last year in 2nd grade.  I was inspired by this horse she painted.  Beautiful work, Addilae Belle.

Just stop talking then...

I'm tired of hearing you say, "I wasn't going to say anything, but..." Then stop saying anything.

My Petals

I searched "journaling inspiration" on the internet and I found this little exercise about documenting your petals in the here and now.  What is important to me right now? What do I like? What is my focus? This was a grade school assignment that some kid brought home to his mom and I thought I should try it.

Who am I here and now?
Things look a little different than they have in the past. Fitness and running are missing although getting outside and moving are still showing the active side of me.  I have always focused on my relationship with God but there is more concentration on living my purpose/ His purpose for me.  I notice the focus on personal, quiet things now... my kindle, home, the computer and digital art.  I am nurturing my closest relationships with my daughter and Eric but friendships and my social life are currently not in focus.  

My focus is changed because I am changed.  The spiritual explosion that is going on inside of me has taken over so many facets of my daily life from what I read, watch, think about, talk about, search online, explore and create. This is living my purpose.

We are the lucky ones.  I enjoy every moment of this adventure we are on together.  I am so grateful for the love in my life.  Thank you for introducing me to new things and keeping life so fun. I am truly happy.

I am one who's soul soars

I am one who is light and airy and free.  my spirit is unlocked to create with passion and focus on the joy in my life.  I let my inner light shine and plant seeds of love.

Some good affirmations art journaled...

Believe That It Already Happened

"whatever you’re thinking of, instead of requesting it to become present in your life, you must feel and believe as though it has already happened. Breathe deeply, and experience the wonderful feeling of your prayer fulfilled, in every aspect, in every way. Then, feel the gratitude for what your life is like now that this prayer has already been answered. You should notice the ease and uplifting release that come from this giving of thanks, rather than the opposite feelings of absence and yearning that come from asking for help! The subtle difference between the ease and the yearning is the power that sets asking apart from receiving."

Addie's Poem for 2nd Grade Contest

I am so proud of my amazing 7 year old daughter, Addie.  This is a poem she is entering in a school contest with a few of Mom's touches ;)  ALL HER ORIGINAL WRITING THOUGH.  The loves the works of Shel Silverstein and many of her poems come out with his styling. I love it, Addie.

I am one who is renewed. I am given many second chances. I am healthy and my soul prospers.

Mama... How's the twirl in this dress?
