My 60 and beyond book list

                    Living with more Intention




As I'm now learning to live in my 60's and beyond ,
I put on my vision board that I should read more intentionally. 
That I should actually hold a book and write in the margins and highlight places,  food and events I read about. 
So my reading list for the year 2019 has begun, along with my goal of reading 50 books this year. 
 I say I'm going to do this, but I might not, only because I'm a really slow reader and some days I don't pick up a book at all. So, you see I have a big intention for 2019.

This little book looks like something I should 
consider. 
Now, I like anything that has a count down. Do this for 28 days sound like a challenge I can handle. 
I love the daily affirmations and each day can be read within minutes. Easy enough to read, we will see if I can actually put this to work. It sounds marvelous and yes I have it in paperback so I can write in the margins.

I'll  be your blue sky, marina De Los Santos
This book came highly recommended. Again, I will order this in paperback and keep it in my library.
This year I went through my bookcase and took out all the old books I have been holding on to and donated them, so I have a whole shelf to fill up for my 2019 reading list. 
Make room for new adventures and interests.  
Some of this years books will be novels, cookbooks, self help, and  travel. 

Reading has begun for 2019
Enjoy and let me know about books you have read.
Be Inspired,

Now that I'm entering my 60's, I'm really learning to appreciate all my life experiences, both good and bad,  I would not change anything in my life.  Looking back now I can see that every experience has brought something new to me,  gratitude, friendship, trust, and love. 

I've been going through a little book 
called.  28 Days To a More Magnetic Life 
I figure if I start now I will be ready for 2019.

It's actually my second time going through it. I found it while I was clearly out my bookcase and I have decided to keep it.  
I had written so much in the margins it was fun to read what I was going through at that time in my life.
I love the easy flow she writes with and each day it only takes minutes to read through. 
The daily affirmations are easy and this time around I have been making little post- it's of the affirmation and sticking it on my mirror each morning. 
I was thinking of blogging about this on a daily base, but I think it would have a more positive effect for you if you read it yourself and did the exercise. 
So, I'm just going to recommend this book and hope when you are ready you to find it.

28 Days to a more magnetic life
By Sandra Anne Taylor
I like following programs. I like routine. I like rules.
I found this little book at an old used book store. I hope book stores never go out of vogue. I would not even have known that this little book was out there otherwise.
So join me for the next 28 days and lets see if this little book changes our lives.
You are welcome to comment on this journey if you wish.
Yesterday started out with a quick haircut, it was suppose to be a trim but once I started looking through the books, it became a haircut.
I plainly needed a change. So on with the journey,
It's a little short , but I will look great by next month!!
Since I have decided to let my hair grow naturally, living 60 and beyond.  

Day 1
Becoming conscious.
Intention.
Today we will be consciously choosing thoughts and behaviors that create more peace and value.
It's a day of looking at yourself in an honest way and asking questions.
Go through your feelings, and ask yourself , What's stopping you from doing the things you daydream about?
My Mom use to say to me, "What's the worst thing that can happen if you do that?" Surprise, the worst thing that can ever happen to you is Death!!, So, if it doesn't cause you to die, or others, then what you try and fail at is not the worst thing that happens to you.
Home grown wisdom.

Day 1 has 5 pages to it. I will not be writing out all the information there.
Today's affirmation for becoming conscious

Every day, I consciously create my reality by choosing the kind of energy and emotions I want to live with.

I do best working from lists. So, for me I put in 3 things that I will intentional think about today.
What's on my list?
1. I will intentionally exercise my knees that hurt from arthritis. Move them or lose them even if it hurts.
2. I will go into my studio and clean and put away my paints and brushes before starting a new painting. I'm the worst at clean up.
3. I will start to plan and organize for health low glycemic meal plan.
There it is , the first day of intentions.
Best of luck, follow along, join in.
Be inspired,

I found my 2018 Christmas Book


Jean Hart Artwork
Welcome to my online store
Fine Art for the Finer Things in Life



Christmas In Paris a novel

I have found my Christmas Book. 
Each year as December comes around and the snow starts falling, and after I have decorated my house for Christmas, I like to settle down in the afternoons and read by the fire. 
Often I will have a hot cup of peppermint cafe or an eggnog. 
It has to be two things for me:
l. It has to be hot
2. It has to be festive
Since, this is the year I started to learn French in a classroom. I thought a book about Paris in Christmas would be the perfect book. 
I have also started my 50 books for the New Year. 
I recently read an article about how the most successful people read 50 books a year. 
I don't think I have ever read that much in one year.
This is going to be a big challenge for me. 
But, since I'm now retired and my children are no longer living at home I find I have more time to sit and read. This article also said that you really only need 45 min. each day to accomplish this challenge. 
If you want to read along with me here is my list. 
I think one a week should do it.
