BLUE MOON

MAIL ART PROJECT

ROMANIA

 

by Jean Hart

 

It's time to send out my paintings for the Blue Moon mail art project in Romania.

What is a blue moon exactly?

I looked it up and here is what it said:

 

A blue moon is an extra full moon that appears in a subdivision of a year, either the third of four full moons in a season or, recently, a second full moon in a month of the common calendar. Metaphorically, a "blue moon" is a rare event, as in the expression "once in a blue moon".

 

My little painting are only postcard size and perfect for sending through the mail.

Please enjoy my artwork.

Be Inspired,

a waning moon

Blue Moon,

 

Lately, or maybe just because it's summer, I feel as though I am waning. Waning with the last of the supermoon. Moving away from the hustle and business I live my life in. I'm pulling back on many activities, but for some reason I'm still busy. I'm sure it's just a cycle, the ebb and flow of energy. Swimming has left me both feeling stronger and exhausted at the same time. In the afternoon I find myself closing the drapes and watching movies.......until it's time to play backgammon.......resting is what I want to do. I imagine this is normal for creative people. Just a little time out. Staying open to the ideas that come at a time of waning.

Anyone else feeling this way?

Strength to know when to let go

STRENGTH

I pulled the Strength card this morning in my near future tarot reading.

It says

"Love conquers all. Avoid pettiness and prejudice. The to be a peace maker. Weigh all sides of every situation. Don't be so set in your ways that you miss the big picture by focusing on details. Stubbornness is your challenge of the moment."

Interesting.......Making myself strong in body and mind as been a bit of a challenge. Building my strength in body just so I can carry my own suitcase when traveling or my own baggage when not.

The greatest part of this is I know the sun will come up and the moon too.

Right now for this day and days to come,I think that my strength will show from having the strength of heart to hold others close and let them go all at the same time.

Be Inspired,
