blood moon

I watched a video from Ezzie Spencer about the Blood moon. 

Another post about how to handle that energy a full moon and eclipse sends out.

change in events

So a lot has happened in the past week. I started packing and clearing my room of basically crap I have accumulated while living at home for so long. And I noticed all these pieces of work, that I have created. All these efforts I have spent hours working hard on to become the successful artist I so want to be. And when I say successful I don't need a massive house to feel like I have made it. I told the art director of apple who I met with this summer that I want to be able to fulfil my dream of working in a job I love everyday. Also a trip to Japan and a car with central locking would be nice to. He said "thats so sweet."

It may be sweet to some but I don't ask for a lot in life. I do like nice things, but when I say nice things I like objects, art, food, places etc that people have put effort into. It is much more satisfying to eat a meal which someone has cared about, buy a piece of art that someone has put their emotions into. 

So after clearing away all these attempts at success or an income. I realised that if I do move, there will be no money for me to carry on being an artist being able to work flexibly, dashing off to a meeting at a moments notice incase this chance is 'it'.  I realised I was chasing the wrong dream. I was wanting to move out as I felt it was 'right', and it was time and I had been listening to the social life clock of the people surrounding me rather than my own path. 

I like to follow through with every opportunity and I saw this brilliant cabin on a farm as one. As I have learnt through relationships in love something you think was perfect for you in that moment is actually standing in the way of something better, you just have to trust the timing of your life.

This piece is one of my favourite pieces as I think it is so true the only thing that keeps you anchored in life is your own fear. 

"Everything you want is on the other side of fear."

I watched this video eating my lunch the other day of Tracey Emin talking 

about Louise Bourgeois's work.

Louise Bourgeois - "Fears", 1992 Cette femme est un génie

new chapter

An opportunité for me to fly the nest has come up. I am scared shitless, financially mainly. I don't have a fear of living, growing and being by myself. If you saw my studio which is in the middle of no where you will understand that hermitville is where I am happiest and most productive. But the money aspect worries me. Being an artist is tough but I am committed that this is my chosen path. I just will have to work every hour and the day gives me, and furniture will have to come later. I am actually excited about the idea of not affording furniture and using my imagination on ways to create things out of found objects. 

Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.

keeping it together

With the show looming, and trying to juggle everything that goes on in life. I am trying to keep myself calm, and healthy. 

- Listen to the Jennifer Kass podcasts in the studio to top Self Love so self doubt doesn't creep in.

- I work as a secretary part time in Yoga Bodhi and every Monday I got to Simonas class.

- I read Sphinx and the Milkways moon readings to see what is inshore this month.

- Ashley Nesse's articles on Scents and Crystals both have benefits to reducing negativity in life.

- Make a daily Green smoothie from Rosemary Ferguson Book. 

- Meditate in the morning by lying in bed and letting the OMG i can meditate do all the work for me.
