West Side Story

. . . and yes I cried (again! 30+ years later)
A story from an era but the music, dance and romance are timeless!
It also made me think of my neighborhood girlfriends swinging our prom dresses around singing..."I feel pretty, oh so pretty..."
That's when prom dresses were POOFY and glamorama. We all had similar dresses in different pastels...my dad said we looked "peachy!"
I liked that!
Isn't it funny how you can remember insignificant things but forget important ones? Maybe the little things are the important ones.
I've heard, the flapping of a butterfly's wings can cause a hurricane on the other side of the world.
Meaning; be careful of the small things you say and do, they may seem insignificant to you but can be powerful enough to alter someone else's life!
....and you would be clueless!

BEA-utiful VIOLETTE Day


Today is so beautiful ALREADY,

I am overwhelmed.


The sunshine is like medicine for the soul. "Dragon & Butter" flies are sparkling like glitter. There is a nice breeze making the trees wave their arms in joy! I think I will get the Bose speakers out and let them all dance to some groovey tunes! Wishing everyone a SPCIAL day!


I am taking my camera out to find a little magic. I will post the magic when I find it!


I know it's waiting for me!


I think I'll declare this a Violette day!


She is such an inspiration to me.




Life really is A CHAIR OF BOWLIES!

This was my message today.


It really is easy, Judi. You really are powerful. I really do love you.
You can have it all. You will live forever. And the best is yet to come.
You're already rich. There's more on the way. It's closer than you think.
There've been no mistakes. You've never been judged. And all things are playing out in your favor.
Moreover, as if all of that wasn't enough, it's totally Friday and you're so, so beautiful.
Boom, The Universe

OK……………………………………Ya’ll ready for this? From me!



By the way peeps, there may be a writing professor reading this. That's who the ya'll was for! (wink)




Ways to find happiness because it’s really easy to forget!
Look for happiness in the small things. On my way to work I might stop and photograph a bird on a mailbox. (Camera always in my purse!)
Feel gratitude for everything you already have in your life, and for the people you care about and those who care about you.
Spend some time every day in quiet time to think about the direction your life is taking.
Keep a journal of your thoughts and feelings so that you can put into words the way you are feeling each day. I look back a year in my journal and reflect on how I handled different situations and try to give myself a pat on the back or a kick in the pants! Either way, it’s a learning experience.
Ask others for advice on various aspects of your life. People like to feel they are needed and their opinions are valued.
Realize that money is abundant in our world. If you want or need more of it, look for ways to add more value to other people’s lives.
Reach out to people who have been there for you in the past. Call them just to say hello, instead of only calling them when you want or need something from them. Ask if there is anything you can do for them.
Get rid of grudges! Holding a grudge is like drinking poison and expecting the enemy to die! Grudges make YOU sick. Is it really worth it?

Gratitude with flying COLORS!

CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE
What more can I say? How can anyone wake up to a jam packed table of wonderful colors, the sun shining, birds singing, music playing, the aroma of fresh brewed coffee and totally "getting it".....HAVE A BAD DAY?
YOU CAN'T!!!!!
This REALLY is "life in session." I love that line that Loraine used to describe my art & post on the Glitter Sister blog. I hope someone reading this post today will NEED to hear this.

We have all been given certain "gifts" and to not use them and share is an act of ungratefulness.
I've been guilty of that many times. I had lots of excuses; my life is a mess, I can't focus, I'm too tired, I'm feeling overwhelmed and grouchy, I'm depressed, I don't feel loved, I have more important things to do, MY COUCH NEEDS HELD DOWN....I could fill the page with the things that I've used.
Bad excuses are better than none.
If you can't take the time to use your gift, think about this....I know plenty of people that would LOVE to have the ability to put color down "effortlessly." I've heard many times over..."I'd give anything to have talent like yours." I'm sure, if you are here...you ARE a like minded creative being and you've heard the same things.
Recently I was headed into one of my funks and had someone RUDELY shake me off my ..."poor me pedestal"! How dare this person force me to be creative when I'm not in the mood!
Here was the plan.
I would make a lame effort at a piece of art to prove, the timing is wrong.
I will call it "Forced" art.
The sketches looked bad, the composition had no thought, no color, no life and most of all no love.
Here's where it all backfired in my face.
While I was doing "pretend" sketches.....I saw something TINY on paper that opened up my creative thinking. It was a minute like the one...when your head stops throbbing after a hangover!

You know...the awwwwe feeling of "I'm lovin' this feeling of being alive! Happy days are here again."...(with the usual...I'm never drinking again..LOL)

Dark clouds lifted, the fog dissappeared, I felt energy in my blood and I realized I was "healing" my state of mind. It's happened before but
WHY CAN'T WE REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE THIS "MIRACLE" IN OUR POSSESSION?
IF BY CHANCE.....(and fate doesn't fly with me)....start again redhead...if God sent you to this page...and you are feeling down and out.....do this..
close your eyes and breathe....(for real) do it now
take a few deep breathes and realize what the air is doing for your body. The air is life force and energy. Feel it go in and out of your body..
FEEL THE ENERGY AND FEEL THE LOVE
Your life is IN SESSION right now.
Get your ass in gear.....snap out of your funk....
AND MOST OF ALL
FEEL THE LOVE I AM SENDING
...because
it's

THIS BIG!!!!
(FEEL IT?)
I KNEW YOU WOULD!
NOW BEFORE YOU GET ON YOUR CREATIVE WAY, DO A RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS FOR SOMEONE THAT MIGHT NEED IT.
GIANT HUG TO ALL!
