The Creative Life A thru Z ~ F is for Fun
The Creative Life A thru Z
Week Seven
F is for FUN!!
~
Yes, Fun!, Of course it could be for Films, Foreign Languages, Food, Future, or even Five minute vacations.
Let's shift our mind set to fun first.
What is fun?
Some people think fun is reading, being outside,
or cooking in the kitchen.
It's a very specific activity to you.
What you think is fun someone else may not.
I think anything that makes time go by quickly,
something you are enjoying, you are having fun at.
I like process.
I believe my purpose is creating processes to get to destinations.
In that thinking I like lists.
I find lists help me be proactive, not reactive in my life.
Life is suppose to be enjoyed, fun, and filled with love.
I do activities which help me reach those goals.
Benjamin Franklin said, and I quote,
"By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail."
In the pursuit of fun, wonder, and play.
Let's get started.
Gypsy Women (~jean)
"I'm see a fun activity coming your way."
Journal Writing Assignment:
What will you do today that will make you happy in your tomorrow life?
The Future is in Your Hands
1. Write 8 questions about your life?
Relationships, passions, health, prosperity, desires,adventure, lifestyle, spiritual life.
2. Make a paper " Fortune Teller", if you don't remember how to make these from your childhood, here is a video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4SnzwjriGg
3. Decorate your Fortune Teller, place numbers on the outside tabs,
on the inside choices use shapes and colors.
On the hidden inside, write your questions.
4. Play the game. Pick your squares.
Now take a few minutes to sit still and meditate on this question.
After you have meditated write down your thoughts about your future.
Knowing full well that you are planning your future your way.
I know that being in nature helps clear your mind and heal your body,
sit in nature and meditate.
Two Minutes in Nature.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXI8pDK22wA
5. Is there a active step you can take today for your life tomorrow?
Five minute Vacations.
Do you want more adventures in your life? More travel?
I can't always go where my imagination takes me. But, since YouTube is only a few keystrokes away,
I can go all over the world in minutes.
I look up places in the world I would like to visit and watch these videos.
Just watching them transports me to new places.
It really feels like I have taken a five minute vacation and then I'm ready to get back to work.
Let your imagination take you away!!
Art Assignment:
FABLES!
If you haven't yet read a fable, google one up. There are lot's to read and they are usually only a few paragraphs, and they all have a moral lesson.
They are fun!!
1. Read a fable, and draw a picture of it.
Jax Cat, thinks your doing well.
As always, Have FUN with this.

I just had to share it with you for this week.
An Ancient Gnostic Poem
An Ancient Gnostic Poem, The Hymn of the Robe of Glory, " The Song of the Pearl".
I'm still studying the myths and ancient stories, this is a story of the journey of human consciousness. Through the path of separateness, on towards the Divine journey home.
I present this to you to make your own interpretations and to see the wonderful symbols within this myth, it has survived the test of time in its perennial wisdom,
Please enjoy the story and the artwork.

D is for Donuts N Drama
"Delight in the Little Things."
Rudyard Kipling
Years ago I found myself teaching in a preschool.
Each morning the children would come in, hang their coats, and sit at the table for breakfast.
One of the best memories I have of one of these many breakfasts the school severed was homemade donuts.
Warm and sugary straight from the kitchen.
I'm not sure if this was teaching any of us about healthy eating or good nutrition, but those donuts were certainly a delight.
You can make these wonderful delights as long as you have biscuit dough handy.
So, that's what I did!
I invite you to make donuts too. Easy recipes are found on the Internet.

DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA
No, I'm not talking about personal drama here.
I'm talking about PLAYS, Drama Theater
Have you ever read a play?
The format is different then reading a book, and interesting how the set is put together, and the actors directions.
I love live theater, if you have a chance to see a play performed on stage, GO!
You can find live plays on YouTube.
That's were I watched Neil Simon's play "Rumors."
The very first play I read when I was in theater was Neil Simon's "Star Spangled Girl".
They made a movie of it too.

3. Go to a live theater and see a play.
Journal Work:
Draw

Use the whole page and let this logo express who you are. Paint it, color it, glitter it up.
If you need to be still and
breath deeply before creating
Two Minutes in Nature
is a good way to relax.

The Creative Life A thru Z week four
The Creative Life A thru Z
week Four
C is for Cooking
Recently, I had a visit with my brother and his daughter.
She had just graduated from high school and
was on a summer vacation with her dad to visit us,
and see our grandson.
We were planning our meals for the week,
when the conversation lead to our favorite childhood foods.
We settled on Mom's potatoes salad.
A truly wonderful dish that says summer.
We made our grocery list
and came home
to prepare the potato salad for the next days barbecue.
Mom never wrote down her recipes, to our frustration,
she just added a little of this and a little of that.
Isn't is funny how we all remember things differently?
Between the both of us we managed to make this family favorite
and come up with a close enough recipe of Mom's potato salad that it inspired family stories.
Memories in the kitchen are a great way to share your life stories with others.
This weeks assignment :
C is for Cooking
1. Sit quietly and remember a time when you were enjoying your favorite childhood food.
2. Look at your weeks menu and see if you can make it this week.
3. Share in the actual cooking with family and friends.
4. Enjoy the meal, and share the history of this favorite childhood food with family and friends.
Journal Work
CIRCLES
| Better Together, by artist Jean Hart |
1. In your journal start to draw circles. Circles of all sizes, fill up the page with circles.
The circles can be touching, inside each other, or separate.
2.Now, with your art supplies, pens, marker, paints.
Fill in the circles with color.
3. Note which colors you used most, or which color is the most pleasing to you.
How are you responding to particularity colors?
Do you have a favorite color?
COLOR Therapy
Color therapy is an interesting subject.
I have read many books on this and studied the color wheel for painting.
I came across this website about the Psychology of Color.
Since, I'm doing a sampling of my curriculum here with you online,
I thought I would share this website with you here.
Cook Books
Do you have a favorite cookbook?
Reading recipes makes me feel like a chemist.
I'm a very good cook! Why?
Because I follow the recipes.
Break out your favorite cookbook,
or good to a second hand store and find an old time cookbook that's
been very well used.
Here is a cookbook from a restaurant I'm hoping to visit in my travels.

The Creative Life A thru Z week three B is for Beyond
The Creative Life A thru Z
week three
Jean Hart Artwork
www.zazzle.com/jeanhar1
If you will allow yourself to go beyond your imagination,
you will be surprised by all the interesting things that will bubble up!
Bravo!
You have made it to the B week
B is for ~ Beyond
This week we are going to go beyond our imaginations.
Just like our many names described who we are,
our stories shape where we are connected.
As time goes by, we enter into different chapters of our lives,
people come and go, family expands or decreases,
and we are older and wiser.
Your story, past, present, and future.
This week you will need:
1. Your lined Journal
2. Paints, markers, pens, etc...
if you wish to express yourself in that way.
3. Bubbles
This weeks assignment:
Writing your truth
1. Write your story past and present in the first three (3) pages.
2. The next pages are for the life you would like to live Beyond this point.
a. What would you like to be doing?
b. Where would you like to be?
c. Why do you want this for yourself?
d. When do you see this happening?
In my experience with writing this way,
I found that even if I went a little beyond the real possibility of this happening, there still was some truth to it.
Activity
It's play time, time to go beyond your imaginations.
1. Think of three intentions that will help you make this future life story possible. I always like to start these intentions with the words "I will..."
2. You will need a bottle of bubbles for this.
Say your intentions out loud before blowing a bubble,
or blow your intentions silently into the bubble.
Watch it float up into the sky,
and once the bubble has burst
your intention has been released
into the universe.
3. Do this again and again until the bottle of bubbles are gone.
As always have fun with this.
Be Inspired,
~jean

The creative life
A thru Z
Welcome to this new workshop.
I have just received my certificate in
"Healing With The Arts"
from the
University of Florida.
I have put together a curriculum for this class along with positive psychology, happy fulfilled living, life experience, and many art class, to come up with a creative way to help express ourselves through the arts.
Hi, let me introduce myself.
I live in Northeastern Nevada, where we experience all four seasons of the year.
I love art, cooking, walking, doing 5k's, traveling, and my cat Jax .
I'm a bit of a messy painter,
but I'm learning to keep the paint on the canvas.
I have been an artist for over 15 years.
I've stated to declutter my whole house,
it's better that way.
I can now find what I need when I need it.
I love coffee, baked papaya, and pistachios, I have them in bowls all around my house.
I love to draw on paper cups and make them into prosperity banks.
The snow has melted, it's spring where I live so I can walk everyday.
I have 4 cats, but Jax is the studio cat.
He mostly eats, sleeps, lays around, and hunt birds.
My hair drives me crazy. Sometimes it's short, long, brown or blonde.
All my clothes have spatters of paint on them.
On the next blog we will go over the materials for this workshop.
