Day 3 to a more magnetic life

Day 3

28 days to a more magnetic life

Sandra Anne Taylor

Today is Sunday, usually a rather easy day. But, not this Sunday, not the Sunday before a Thanksgiving Thursday.

I have all the home machines going and creating quite a noise.

Day 3 is

RAISING ACOUSTIC ENERGY.

Well there you have it. my Acoustic energy is swirling all around me!!

 

Intentions for today.

Today I am to enhance the acoustic energy in my life.

I first thought that that would be music. As I did wake up to Kerry playing the flute. But rather then music floating in the house, I'm surrounded by, TV, and home machines.

Surprisingly for me today those are comforting sounds. I have much to do before Thanksgiving and today will be a home machine acoustic energy day.

There will be the sounds of washing and drying machines, dishwasher sounds, and a vacuum cruising around the house.

I'm thankful for those machine because without them I would be rubbing  my clothes down by the pond with rocks, boiling water for the dishes, and beating rugs to death outside in the cold. How did they find the time to do all that in the pioneer days?????

Since this is a acoustic day, I will be saying my affirmations out loud.

Filling the air with my voice.

I am all for quite meditations, peaceful music or even silence when it is called for.

I'm thinking that because the house if humming along loudly, I will have to send out my intentions and personal energy in a higher vibrations to over come the stimulating world around me.

Activities for enhancing acoustic energy.

"Play some music that promotes the mood you want to create, whether it's upbeat and invigorating or tranquil. Let yourself move to the sounds.

What's on my music track.

1. Pink Radio

2. Margarita ville, Jimmy Buffet, always inspirational.

3. Cello Cd's , my favorite instrument.

I'm alittle rock n roll, a little country and alittle jazzy.

Affirmations for Beautiful sound vibrations.

" I listen to the joyful sounds in my life, and I thank the Universe in whispers of praise."

I will say these out loud today, because it fits my philosophy about resiting. The brain will hear it and the thoughts will take form and what you think you will become.

Be Inspired,

Day 2 to a more magnetic life

Releasing Negativity

I have always believed that what you think is what will happen.

Many times I have thought I just can't do something. Long before I knew what negative thoughts were or that a positive attitude could change your life.

Intentions

for this day are to notice your thoughts, feel them. Ask yourself are they true? Are they helping you? Do you believe them? Okay, those are my questions. I have read many books about thoughts, depression, negativity thinking, and well this too is helpful.

Reflection

Sandra writes, "Instead, simply notice when your mind is moving in an anxious direction, then gently release any assumptions of fear or doubt. Whatever may be going on, open your heart and mind to more relaxing conclusions, and know that a better outcome is on the way." 

Taking action

"Breath deeply and as you exhale, affirm that you're letting go. say, I don't have to choose this reaction any longer."

My actions

Daydreamer, pastel, Jean Hart

 

Again, I say, take time to daydream.....for me, sometimes I get overwhelmed with work, my body aches, and family stuff. Sometimes I just have to nap. Yes, I said NAP. It seems that if I pose a problem just before I nap, and I'm talking about 20-30mins. I feel better about it when I wake up.



 Affirmations for shifting negativity

"My thoughts have real power in my life, and I always choose to have power over my thoughts."

 So, like I said I can't just type out all of what she writes. Some of this is stuff I know already so I looked up something I found help full for me.

TED Talks. I love them, I listen to many and I share the ones that have helped me.

Ask yourself, Can our bodies change our minds? Can you fake it until you make it? or should you fake it till you become it?

What's on my list for today?

1. I will be writing out my affirmation 50 times. First, I like to hand write stuff because I'm working on better penmanship, and it helps to use my hands.

2. I will pose a anxiety I'm feeling and create a better daydream so the out come is more positive.

This will only take 15 mins.

3. I will walk into my studio standing in a V position, arms up, chin up and say lets get to work!!!

28 Days to a more magnetic life

28 Days to a more magnetic life

By Sandra Anne Taylor

Jean before haircut

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.

Jean after haircut

I plainly needed a change. So on with the journey,

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.

The best answer I say to people who want to whine, is cheer up, things will change.

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 the Thanksgiving dinner, and not leave all the cleaning and decorating for one day. I am a procrastinator.

There it is , the first day of intentions.

Best of luck, follow along, join in.

Be inspired,

~jean

I had a visit from two angels

So much has happened. If I told you I had a visit from an angel, what would you think? But it's true. Two wonderful seamstress came to visit me a month ago in my dream. They came to sew up my knee. The first one said, "Don't worry, we are here now. Let's use black thread." The second angel said, "No!! We must use White."....and off they went sewing my knee up.
I woke up thinking, okay, that's nice. I recognized them from a show I was watching, Lark Rise to Candleford.  I had my first appointment with the Dr. about my knee. He ordered a MRI. I told my angels, You have two weeks to heal this knee before the MRI, because once the MRI is taken the Dr. will make his recommendations for the scan.
Yesterday, I went to the surgeon. He looked at the MRI, All I see is a little ligament and arthritis problem!!! I see no reason to do a scope. (this was his recommendation 2 wks ago.)
YES!!!!
Thank You Angels

Jean Hart Artwork

November 2013

I can feel the changing seasons. I have just gotten back from a grand trip to the canyon lands. I love the red rocks, the Indian sites and all things southwestern. I would not be surprised if I start putting in some of the petrographic symbols I saw on my trip into some of my artwork.

The "Elements" exhibit was a great success. Over 80 people came for the reception to meet the artists and see their  artwork. I hope you had a chance to visit the Northeastern Nevada Museum while it was up.

The question asked today is
"Why have I chosen acrylic as my medium?"
Firstly, it dries fast!! I do not have the patients for oil.
Acrylics are so versatile, they can be thinned down or built up thick. They can be used on most surfaces, and when they dry the are permanent.

Do you seal your artwork?
When I first started I sealed everything with a matte varnish. Later, I started to use a gloss shine. Acrylics are permanent when they dry and I have read that you don't always need to seal.
But, mostly I do.
How do you come up with a price for your artwork?
Oh yes, the big question. For years I did not sell my original artwork. If you have one, it was because I gave it to you or you won the bid at an auction to one of my charity's I support. But I now am starting to let go of some of the original paintings. Pricing in a hard one. Mostly I price on size and time it takes to create the artwork. I do not tack on emotional cost for the paintings I love. I love them all. I just cleaned out my studio. I have a small space to work in and really needed more room to create new artwork.  I took almost 20 original paintings to the thrift shop. Maybe you were lucky enough to have found one there. People called me asking if I was giving up being an artist. No, never!! I just needed more room. :-)

What's coming up in Dec.
I have been asked to be the featured artist for December for the Elko County Art Club in their new Art Gallery in Elko.
I'm very excited about this. It is like coming full circle for me with my artwork. I started my art career as a member of the art club, I was even Vice-President for one year.
There will be a reception but I do not have a date yet.
Be Inspired,

Auguste Renoir

Auguste Renoir

1880-1881

 

Renoir is one of my favorite artist. If I had a dinner party he would sit to my right.

Auguste Renoir painting, Luncheon of the Boating Party, oil on canvas, 1881

Here is a little of what I know about this painting.

Back then artists painted the people they knew, family and friends.

The story of the Luncheon of the Boating Party by Auguste Renoir is a snapshot of leisure time with his friends taking a lunch break on the banks of the Seine River in France.

The focus of the painting is on the two prominent people nearest the viewer. The young women holding the dog, will nine years later become his wife. She is a recurring subject in many of his paintings. She is a seamstress and depicts domestic life and is often  featured with their children.

The man with the straw hat sitting casually at the right is Gustave Caillebotte, a fellow Impressionist painter.

The painting Luncheon of the Boating Party made its debut in an exhibit in Pairs in 1882.

I love spending time looking at this painting.

 Explore the people, who is looking at whom. What is their relationship to one another.

If I had a chance to go back in time, I should like to be a part of this party.

It is such a favorite of mine that I hope to soon have a print hanging in my dinning room.

Be Inspired,

~jean
