Wordless Wednesday: Icicle Beauty

Filed under wordless wednesday

All of today’s photos were taken on a very cold day (for California :~) in November of 2010. It was the first frost of the season and I remember being captivated by the sparkling beauty.  It was one of those moments where I simply had to go get my camera. Isn’t it interesting how photos taken during the depth of winter seem so Spring-like?  I guess that’s one reason why I *LOVE* California…

Wordless Wednesday: Graffiti Love

Filed under wordless wednesday

Graffiti Love

You really can find beauty and love anywhere you are looking for it.

Wordless Wednesday

Wordless Wednesday is a really cool blog carnival where people across the interwebs publish an image (or two or three or a bunch!) to their blog and then visit the Wordless Wednesday blog to add a direct link to their post so that everyone can check each other out.  Not only is it a great way to share your creativity, but it’s also an easy way to get a back-link back to your blog.  And we all know that back-links are good for your SEO :~)

I just found some more places to play Wordless Wednesday!

Weekly Winners: my life in photos

Filed under Weekly Winners

There is some pretty cool stuff happening in the Creativity Room at my house…

Life & Death in my Creativity Room
It is a spider eating a bug. It happened like a yard from my meditation pillows and I thought it was so cool I just let them be…oh and I took photos!
Ew!

Even though I have a love/hate thing going on with our cat Poppy I did capture quite a few impressive photos of her. She’s very expressive and has these amazing green eyes:
Sheer Happiness
Pensive
Wuz up?

Can you guess what I did this past Saturday?
Bing-O!

Photos, Fear, and More

Filed under Weekly Winners

I have 28 winning photos this week. Woohoo!  Which reminds me…when I was about to speak at the Social Media Bootcamp I realized that I’m not a Woo-Woo Coach…I’m a Woohoo Coach!  Seriously folks, every time I’m in a group setting I get everyone pumped up with a good ‘ol woohoo!  It feels so good.  In fact, why don’t you give yourself a little woohoo right now? Go ahead…you’ll feel better, I promise!

Okay, now that we’ve got that out of the way I have continued with the 100 Things I Fear challenge and this past week I totally faced a classic fear: they’re going to think I’m stupid.  Go ahead and click through to read that one because who hasn’t been afraid of looking stupid?  You know what the really ironic thing about this fear is? You usually do something “stupid” when you’re not expecting it at all.  So if the fear of looking stupid is holding you back, then go ahead and do whatever it is you’re thinking about doing because just the fact that you’re wondering about looking stupid probably means that you’re not going to look stupid.  Did that just make sense?! I don’t know, but the bottom line is: just do it!

Enough rambling already…here are 4 of this week’s photographic gems and you can click through to my flickr set to view the rest.  This week I posted inspirational messages with each photo so please click through, look, & read and make it worth all of my time & effort!

One of the best ways to discover your answers is to ask

Immerse yourself in what you love

Focus

Choose what to focus on – what will you see?

Independence

The best kind of independence is when you’re far enough away to stand on your own and close enough to stand together

Seriously I have 2 dozen more Weekly Winners with inspirational messages right here.  Oh yeah, and please visit Lotus @ Sarcastic Mom the host of our little weekly photo party!

Weekly Winners: notes from my journal

Filed under Weekly Winners

What a fabulous week it’s been!  And I thought it would be fun to publish excerpts from my journal with my Weekly Winners. In fact, the first photo is a photo of my journal. I went to the Louise Hay You Can Heal Your Life conference and here is a snapshot of the notes I took from a message delivered by Cheryl Richardson. How cool is she?!

Straight from My Journal

My Gracie has known all along that when you stop trying to prove your worth that you discover how invaluable you truly are. She took a nap to celebrate!
Rest

Today I want you to imagine that your life is perfect. That it is a process designed just for you and you have the strength, courage, and wisdom to really ROCK IT OUT!
So Soft

Imagine your relationships if you had no fear of rejection…
Get Closer

It’s okay to fly away from that which doesn’t serve you…even if you are related.
Departure

When you don’t know your power, you fight for it and lose it in the process.
Laced in Red
