lotus pages...

This started off with an acrylic background created randomly and I decided at one stage to complete it by "pulling" out the lotusses from the background and covered the upper half with gesso and water color. It took me a while to pick up the courage to paint an object (directly with paint)...;) I played with my waterbrushes, which are pretty handy to pack them in the journaling on- the- go pack.

I wanted to be reminded today of the "spiritual dimension" as I meditate upon the daily happenings and find peace...

"C" is for Compassion

"By feeling gratitude towards life,

I move towards light, wholeness, universal energy, love.

I move beyond the bounds of my own life and discover

that I am an expression or form of universal life, of divine energy"

What dream do you wish to explore?

Jamie Ridler on Wishcasting Wednesday asked this question and I thought hard about it.....not that I have no dreams, but I have for a long while put aside my dreams for my full time job which I so love.
The time has now come for me to explore POSSIBILITIES, and perhaps "do the things that scares me the most and rediscover my freedom, my worth and my creative spirit" (Kelly Rae Roberts)...

What do you wish for 2010?

On Wishcasting Wednesday, Jamie asked what do you wish for 2010?

I wish to:

Through my Art and Photography

And

that You will stay happy, healthy and have a fulfilling year ahead.

Well, we're all set to take a little holiday break. This is where we will be in the next 4 days. I look forward to be inspired by the beautiful landscape in this region and be totally immersed in the culture and lifestyle of these individuals.

Be joyful
