2014 What a YEAR

2014 Transformation
 
Winter, the last season for 2014. A Complete year of transformation.
Happy, Healthy, Strong and Alive.
 
It's been a great year.
 I've met some goals and didn't finish others.
But, just as life continues,
new goals are being made for 2015.
One of the many tools I have used this year has been my healing cards. It is always nice to know that no matter what card I pull they seem to be the card I need.
 
Healing card for today:
by Caroline Myss
"A cheerful expression brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones."
That sounds great not only for today but for each day.
Believe me my bones could use some good news. This cold weather has settled right in.
It's 13 degrees today....cold, cold, freezing.
I have both the pallet stove going and the furnace on. It's gonna be a long winter.
I have taken this Christmas break off from just about everything and now I'm ready to get back to exercising and eating right.
My new schedule has been a little tough to get my yoga in.
I have moved my dinning room table as far into the wall as possible, taken out the extra leafs and now I have plenty of room to do yoga in my dinning room with YouTube on my computer.
It works well.
Isn't it funny how you live a certain way and then bam!...a new idea just shows up.
 
Here's a task for today:
Be the bearer of only good news today. In living out this task, note whether you find it difficult to maintain. And if so, discover why within yourself.
In January 2014, I begin a transformation. I could hardly move my body. I started yoga, walking and swimming. I started eating healthier and made regular hours for my studio.
By spring,  I had oped Master Piece Art Gallery with my daughter, I had signed up for a yoga retreat, Wonderlust . I did my first mile walk,(which I barely finished), started to lose some wight. Oh and cut all my hair off to a short little hair cut.
Summertime, I was well into walking 5K's every weekend and my time was improving, I had lost 15lbs and my back and knees where getting stronger. Sarah and I started a triathlon, swimming, walking, yoga. No bike it's not good for my lower back.
The Fall was amazing, I won a medal for walking a 5K, I had lost 20lbs, and now was volunteering everyday for a cause greater then myself.
The end of 2014. Looking back through my photo album I am amazed at the adventures I had this year. The places I went, the people I meet, and the love I have for life. While not all of my goals were meet, most of them were accomplished. Is the transformation over? NO, I have a lot more work to do with getting my back and knees where they need to be. My weight is still 80 lbs where my goals is, and my artwork is going in a totally different direction then every before.
2015 will be just as busy with 5K's but this year there will also be hiking trails. Always looking for  habits for better living and health. There will be some new fashion designs coming this year.
Just getting back into life in this last year has been tremendous....So while my little butterfly is still in her cocoon, I think she is getting stronger and maybe this is the year she will break open the cocoon.
Thank you all for coming along on this journey with me. I have truly enjoyed all the emails, and p/m of encouragement. We have had some interesting conversations.

Everything About Paris-Green Fairy

 
Everything About Pairs
Paris smarts
Good Morning, Fill your day with Love and Peace, Jean Hart Artwork
 
Good Morning Monday!
 
Yes, more snow!! I didn't ask for it but it came anyway...
The holiday season continues.
Since I'm still off work for Christmas break, I thought I would make a vision board.
This will help to manifest and attract what I need, or what I want.
I must be careful with what I put on the board...I believe it will come true.
By now you must know that Paris will be on my board.
It is my plan to go there when I turn 60....Not yet..But, it's never too soon to start planning.
New Year's is just 3 days away.
I pick a question about
Le Menu
 
True or False
The Green Fairy was a popular Parisian liquor.
 
True
Absinthe, the green liquor enjoyed by Pablo's Picasso, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and others, was also known as La Fee Verte, or The Green Fairy, for its hypnotic effects. Absinthe contains a potent toxin. France outlawed it in 1915, and then in 1988 allowed a safe version to be sold.
 
So there you have it. Ever wonder how Picasso came up with the style of his paintings!!
I am not so sure about having this at my New Year's eve table. I was hoping more for a
Magnum bottle of Champagne..
So I'm wondering what goes with this liquor.
Here is my menu for New Year Eve
Shrimp Cocktail
Bruschetta
Homemade meatballs
and spaghetti
Salad
French Rolls
Not sure about the dessert yet, but of course it will be homemade.
 
The best dinners I have ever had were simple.
Have the bar stocked with Vodka, Gin and Scotch.
Make sure to have non-alcohol drinks too,
like coke, 7up, and a few juices too.
Don't forget the wines, I prefer reds.
Of course, Champagne!
 
I have been having a Marathon of Audrey Hepburn movies.
This is one of my favorites.
Gigi
This is a fun song called.
Invention of Champagne.
Enjoy.....
 
 
Happy New Year

Good Morning Winter


Good Morning,
We got a little snow for Christmas and the family came for Christmas Dinner.

Merry Christmas from the Hart Family
We have so much to be Grateful for.
Here we are right where we should be.
2014 was such a good year that I'm a little sorry to see it go. But, of course
 you can not stop time and now I am looking forward to 2015.
What are my plans for 2015?
For one thing...doing more artwork.
I have 3 projects I'm working on, I hope to be able to talk about them soon.
My 5K's will still be going. In fact, my very first one will be in St George for my birthday in Jan.
For Christmas I got the most wonderful walking sticks
 along with  a book about all the hiking trails in Elko County.
Soooo you know hiking reports will soon appear.
My New Years list goes something like this.
less TV and more reading
less clutter more space
less junk food and more real foods
less worries and more smiles
and more deep breathing.
of course theirs more ......
I would like to see world peace and harmony

What My Soul Wants Me To Know, Observe Your Attitude

Jean Hart, Artist
 
What My Soul Wants Me To Know
Wisdom for healing cards,
Caroline Myss
My Card for Today:
Observe Your Attitude.
Oh yes, lets go there. Here is a little story of what has recently happened to me. Recently, I was told that I was ambitious. And not in a good way. As the meal progressed the comments got a little more sarcastic in sound. I could feel that this person was upset with me but I'm not sure why.
Today in meditation this came up. I'm thinking I'm complicated. I try harder then anyone I know to get where I am. On all levels of my life. I'm often heard saying it takes 110%  if you don't want regrets. I'm now thinking, have I not let the people around me have a percent of what's around me? Could it be because my mind never stops well into the night?, and of course it's because my belief is that if you say it out loud you better have some action to go with it.
It's complicated. I ask hard questions from myself and others. I look for answers, I'm a researcher.
My hope is to inspire. If I can think of something to do, so can you.
So, yes lets talk about attitude today.
Today's Lesson:
Determine whether you spend most of your energy in a positive or negative frame of mind. Do you have to remind yourself to be positive, or are you naturally that way?
I hope I stay positive. I get down just like everyone else. I try to keep it up beat and light. 
 I don't say why me, I say why not me? If someone else can do it, why can't I.
Often  my feelings get hurt and have to dig myself out from there.
Generally I'm pretty happy and easy going.
But, if your going to ask me a honest question, I feel your ready for a honest answer.
Just for the record I do not like sarcasm, I don't get it.
Your goal:
become mindful of whether you're unconsciously positive or negative.
Positive or negative. I think it's okay to be both. Not everything goes my way. Some things upset me. Some people upset me. So yes, I travel around my day swinging between both attitudes.
What I'm mindful about is that these are my reactions. I'm mindful that I don't consciously hurt someone feels or unload on someone who is innocent of the event. For me, this is where my journal comes in. By the time I have written it all out. Both, the event ,what was done and said,  how I reacted, and what should be done now.  I find I'm calmed down.....and ready for the next step.
 
I love these cards. Why do I use them. Because they ask me to think about something I'm not thinking about or something that I need to think about.
How do I choose them. By fate. I close my eyes count out my number for the day and there you go. My message. The card that I need to address.
It always works like that. It's always the card I need.

~jean

Healing and Health

Healing and Health
my healing journey
 
 
Each year it seems since about 10 years ago when I hurt my back I have been on this journey. It was a back injury and I thought that was all it was. Little did I know that everything, is connected and if one thing goes wrong soon other things follow.
My tests results were not what I was hoping for and once again I'm back to monitoring, recording and reporting results.
The aneurysm, a blood vessels that popped in my eye, was not serious enough to require any medical attention, but it sure got my attention.
I'm not sure how it is that I'm feeling better then every, busier then I have been in years, and exercising more then I have in the last three years, that my test results show no improvement.
So, I have closed my eyes and pick a healing card. Setting my intentions for the new year to come.
Here is my card, for Caroline Myss and Peter Occhiogrosso,
"To be sure of the road, close your eyes and walk in the dark.
Spiritually closing your eyes permits Heaven to enact the most wonderful guidance in your life. Say the prayer, "open a new road to me today," and expect the unexpected.
 When it appears, accept the gift."
Yes, I am looking for a new road. What I am doing has been the same for too long. I hope that 2015 bring many changes.
I have gotten a map of the USA, for a minute I thought about just closing my eyes and through a dart at it and saying,,,,There it is, Are next adventure for this year.....but, I don't have enough faith that I wouldn't end up in some little deserted ghost town.
I know change starts with one small step, and it happens everyday. So, really my goal is to get a new daily planner and start looking at each month, week by week.
Last year I did 5k's, this year I want to do trails.
Many blessing for the New Year to Come.

Everything about Paris

Everything about Paris
Paris smarts
 
Jean Hart , artist
Question
 
What is offered at the Mouton A Cinq Pattes for substantial discounts?
 
A. Designer Clothes
B. Goose live
C. Mutton chops
d. Toys
 
Answer:
A. designer Clothes
The Mouton a Cinq Pattes, at 19 rue Gregoire -de-Tours in the 6th, has clothes from last year's runway shows, usually worn just once at the show. Shopping at the Mouton is not for the indecisive.
The atmosphere is frantic, and the clothes go fast. If you're a modelesque size zero, this is the place for you!
 
Size 0!! Even at my lowest wedding day of ll0 lbs I didn't wear a size 0.
But I do love fashion. I love dresses, and silk blouses, and hats, hats, hats.
I am starting to even look at patterns and seeing what I can do about sewing some of my own outfits.
I have found some of the best outfits at the second hand stores. Add a few new buttons, a ribbon, a scarf and walla, A new outfit.
The other thing is jewelry. I used to keep all my "good" jewels in the box. They only came out for those special occasions, like birthdays, anniversaries, holidays.
NO More. I wear it all, and sometimes at the same time.
Life it to short for a special day. Guess what every day is special.
But, oh how I would love to go to a up scale fashion show.
Sitting in the front run, drinking champion, and bidding on something outlandish!!!
follow this website for more info and other fun things.
Have fun shopping and putting together those fabulous outfits.

Fourth Season, 2014

Fourth Season of the Year 2014
Winter, Jan 2014
 
Pretty soon it will be winter and the last season added to this year.
Winter is very short in 2014 starting Dec 21 and ending Dec 31st. But no worries it continues again in Jan.....
Wisdon for Healing cards.
by Caroline Myss
 
There are 50 lessons in this box and I have not gotten to most of them. Does that mean that my transformation must continue into 2015?
Well, OF COURSE. WHEN YOU STOP LEARNING YOU STOP LIVING.
I just want to say here that this year has been amazing. When I went to write my Christmas Letter to the family I just couldn't believe all the things that have happened this year.
My adventures were huge. Leaving home and packing my bags almost every week.
My health has improved and my back is so much stronger.
Of course, there are still some health issues that have to be addressed and fixed. But, really from Jan. to now. Wow!!!
Today's card is
Observe your conversations,
Today's Lesson:
Observe the conversations you engage in today. Are they productive or mean spirited? Are they filed with gossip or stimulation information?
Timely once again. I have been going to a lot of Christmas events and seeing a lot of old friends. The conversations are usually short and quick. But I have one friend who I see regularly and I tell you this is my truth. If all you have is one friend who understands you, laughs at your jokes and helps to guide you through the tough times. That's all you need.
Your Goal Today:
to recognize the quality of information you feed your mind each day.
Love this, I stopped listening to talk radio. Why, well it was just too much whining and complaining for me. Better was the newspaper so I could simply read what news I needed. But, when I stopped watching TV news, suddenly I couldn't keep up with the conversation. I was not in the loop with top stories, and events. So I have to find a balance between, good solid news and just gossip column news.
I have been reading books lately. They take up most of my free time and that seems to be alright for me now. There is nothing I like better then sitting in my chair with a book when the weather is cold outside.

What my soul wants me to know-playfulness

What My Soul Wants Me To Know

Being the change I want see
Soul Coaching
cards by
Denise Linn
Today's Card
Playfulness
Good card. I am so ready to play. I have had a hard time of late. My Dr. appointments didn't go as I was hoping and then the annerisum was unexpected.
But, it's Christmas season and It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around my house.
This year my calendar is full of Christmas programs, plays, Festivals and I plan on going to every one of them.
I have been doing a lot of crafts this year, which I must say is not that easy and usually turns out looking more like a preschool project then a store bought item. 
However, it's been a good way to get back into my studio and do creative work.

Card meaning: Allow your inner child to play today. Enjoy yourself and have fun! Embrace your innocence.
Oh well this is going to be easy for today. My plans of course are to have fun!!!
After doing the regular chores around the house I plan to finish putting up the dining room decorations.
I have been sending my Mother who is 90 years old little presents and pictures of my family along with a letter, every other day. Yes, this sounds like a lot and believe me when I'm standing in line at the post office, I agree. But the thing that I have been doing is this. She can't really stay in the present now but knows her childhood well. So, I've been reserching what kids did and had in the 1930's. I'm reaching back to her childhood and my gifts are reflecting hopefully something she will remember and once enjoyed.
My biggest find is children story books. Now, I'm not sure if she read these books, but I am and I tell you I'm hooked!! My favorite story I'm reading right now is
"The Cat That Went To Heaven". It's about an artist, a cat and Buddah. What's not to like about it?

Your Soul wants you to know: Playfulness is absolutely necessary for your health and well being it's as important as the food you eat and the thoughts you think. If your responsibilities and hard work have made this a low priority for you, it's time to have some fun.
Here's something I didn't know about me before. Work for me is fun. I like getting dressed and going somewhere. I like seeing people and getting out of the house. But, I will have to find some other way to express time away from work. It's hard because I work in my home.

Affrimation:
My joy is the greatest gift that I give to others!

I have figured out what brings me joy and I do it everyday. I am very lucky to be able to share my talents and time each day volunteering.
Be Inspired,

Paul Cezanne Impressionism

Paul Cezanne
Well ahead of his time in the arts.
I have been reading about Paul Cezanne life. Why does art cause some artist to become  depressed???
He was one of the first in the Impressionists movement, but still had no real success until after years of painting and again once he died.
Why does art create a temperament in painters that they become emotional and filled with self doubt?
It made me sad to read that his life was filled with such despair and sadness.
 
Here is a gallery of his paintings.
Please enjoy
Today would be a good day to do a still life painting.
Pick one of Cezanne's or create your own set up.

Welcome New Friends
Here is an article about my biography in the art world.
I love art. I love everything about art.
This is taken from Elko Free Press in Elko, Nv
Dec. 2013
 
Featured Guest Artist for December at the Elko County Art Club


Elko County Art Club is pleased to welcome it's Featured Guest Artist exhibitor for December, Jean Hart.
Jean Hart has been creating art for the last 10 years and made the move to become a full-time artist in 2009 under her business, Jean Hart Artwork.
Hart's entree into the world of art was similar to that of many artists who discovered their creative expression through drawing. An art class at Great Basin College later introduced her to acrylic painting, her current medium of choice.
Hart's works of art seek to inspired emotions and memories from the viewer through use of contemporary and conceptual styles. "My greatest accomplishment as an artist is offering my original paintings to people," says Hart.
Being the Featured Guest Artist in the new Elko County Art Club Gallery brings her artwork full circle. Jean explains, " I started my art career in the Elko County Art Club, showing my artwork in their annual exhibits at the Northeastern Nevada Museum, and the Elko Art in the Park event."
In 2011, she became an administrator of the Art Canyon Art Gallery, which provided her with exposure to international artists and opportunity to exhibit her work in shows around the world.
In 2013, she was accepted into the National Society of Painters in Casein and Acrylic. "This really opened my eyes to painting. The ideas, theories, techniques I've learned have been crucial to my development as a painter," says Hart. When people ask why she paints, Hart tells them, " I can't imagine a life without expression."
Hart's artwork can also be seen locally at the Northeaster Nevada Museum, Picture This art Gallery, Troy Edens Medical office and on her own online store, www.zazzle.com/jeanhart1*
You can contact Jean Hart by email at jeanhart@yahoo.com or follow her on Facebook or her artwork blog http://jeanhartartists.blogspot.com/
Hart's artwork will be on display at ECAC Gallery at 407 Railroad Street in downtown Elko from Nov. 25th through December 26th. An Artist reception will be held the evening of December 14th from 5-7 pm. The public is invited, its free to enjoy fine art, refreshments, and meet the artist.
For more information, call the ECAC Galley at 775-276-6612or email ecacgallery@gmail.com.

Everything About Paris

Everything About Paris
from Paris smarts
Jean and Sarah in Paris, Las Vegas, NV
 
 
True or False
The French government regulates the price of baguettes.
 
True
In fact, the government regulates the price of all breads. A prix du pain sign in the window of a boulangerie will tell you the going rate.
 
 
So, it could be higher or lower each day. Hard to budget that way..
 

Baguette Definition

dictionary.search.yahoo.com
n. noun
  1. A long narrow loaf of French bread.
  2. A gem cut in the form of a narrow rectangle.
  3. The form of such a gem.
 
I love baguette's with warm brie cheese or butter melting on it.
When we hike, Kerry and I like to take a baguette and a block of cheese with us. It's light to carry and tastes great outdoors.
Enjoy and remember the cost could change day to day.

What my soul wants me to know -Grace

What My Soul Wants Me To Know
Jean Hart artist
Soul Coaching
cards by
Denise Linn
Today's Card
Grace

"I graciously accept the infinite love of the universe!"

Gard Meaning: Be gracious and understanding with yourself. Angels, guides, and spiritual guardians are watching over you and cherishing you. Kindly honor the reality of others.


For me today, Grace is so special. I have so many things to be happy about. So, many goals have been met. But, just as life is not or ever will be without problems, it should not ever be without new challenges. The Universe will not let there be a void in your life.
I have recently had to stop, and ask Arch Angel Micheal to step into my life and give Arch Angel Raphael a hand with my health.  In the early Fall morning, when I meditate and I lite all the candles the room fills with angels and guides. I have been told they are drawn to candle lite. Sometimes, my life gets overwhelmed, confusing, and I need to hand it over to the spirit guardians. Which is what I have done the last couple of weeks.
Their answer to me and I am so happy to graciously accept.:
It is not the problems, the goals, or the set backs that have created my life. No, it is the way I have gone about solving, achieving and accepting my life, that has created my life. 
Your Soul wants you to know:
 "There's a spiritual nobility that accompanies true grace. Even if you absolutely know that your opinion is right, sometimes it's wise not to push your point. Let it drop, it's not that important. ..."
Being still, quiet, calm is not in my nature. But, it has become the most important lesson for me lately. I can not tell you how many times I have had to bite my tongue just so I would stop talking. This is because so much information is coming to me lately that I want to share it.
I'm wondering if anyone else does this. I often have 3-4 books going at one time. I have books in each room, by each chair that are left with a bookmark ready to be picked up and continued.
Information is literally at my finger tips.  
This is tough, but I know I can't read everything so I must listen to others share.
 Give me the Grace to be still, quiet, calm.
Affirmation:
"I graciously accept the infinite love of the universe!"
My goals have been set. My Angels are in place. My prayers are said out loud, and life will continue whether I participate or not.
The biggest thing right now is to trust the universe and know in my heart that I am loved.
Grace is accepting what you can not change. Grace is the compassion to understand and stop questioning. Grace is saying thank you.
So I make lists. Seriously, not everything gets done each day. That is not what my list is for. It is a list that gets me up and moving. This list says you made it, your alive. This list after awhile tells me what I like, what I don't, What I want, What I have.
 This list is created by me to create the life I want.
This weeks list is created to being courageous, being compassionate, self love, and nonviolent towards myself or others. Building this foundation is found in the day to day chores of life.
Discipline.
"I graciously accept the infinite love of the universe!"
Truly, this is a great affirmation. Well worth the time to write it, recite it and live it.
Be Inspired,

what comes after your goal is met?

Fourth Season of Chance





Fall 2014
 
Soul Coaching cards
by
Denise Linn
 
When I have finished a goal I get a bit lost. I don't know what to do with myself. I worked so hard to get where I am now. But, look there is always stuff to learn. When I say Transformation, it wasn't that I felt I had to change myself, it was that I had to set goals, get myself moving, strong physically and mentally. What I found lacking in my life was discipline. When my world became so small that I did not leave my house it did not matter what I did with my time. The truth is life goes on. If you do not get yourself moving, pull yourself up and get back into life, life will leave you behind.
Those are my thoughts for today.
My card for today:
Strength
"I have deep inner strength and glorious vitality!"
Now, I find this interesting. I can read, watch video's and listen to self help tapes, but truly, it will have to come from me, the glorious vitality!
I have accomplished a great deal this year. I had one goal that not only effected me but my family. My goal was so strong in front of me that someone would say I was obsessed about it. But don't you think you have to be consumed with your own goals to have them come true. The word that keeps coming back to me is discipline.
I will put it together with today's card.
Strength to be disciplined in my life.
That seems like a good affirmation, or motto.
Cards Meaning: There's a wellspring of power with in you. Lend your strength to others.
Great. Lending your strength, or self to others.
SERVICE TO OTHER'S. Yes, that too has come my way.  I volunteer my help to students who need extra time to learn good study habits.
Your Soul wants you to know: The greatest strength is silent and deep. It doesn't need a show of force.. it just is. Inner power is found through contemplation, refection, and meditation. Sometimes it comes from times of growth and change, other times it springs from surviving and conquering painful situations.
Oh, yes I love this. With all the blogging, talking, meditating, journaling, etc.....I felt that I had to say my goals out loud, to everyone, just to keep me true to my word.
Here is what I have learned about myself after 3/4 of a years transformation.
I am an artist, I inspire, I bring emotions to images, I bring people to memories,
I bring myself to the world,
that is who I am.
Affirmation:
"I have deep inner strength and glorious vitality!"
I have an affirmation notebook I write these in. I write them 10 times, no that's not a magical number. It takes me that long before it become memorized. I feel once I have memorized something it become part of me.
New Goals are being formed in my head and heart.
I can not yet list them for you because they are just little ideas bubbling up.
Some ideas are too big and have to be pared down and accepted in a smaller form.
Acceptance of course is a wonderful level of understanding too.
