Pause

February 21, 2016
“Pause” said the oracle today… I woke up restless and worried because things are not happening the way I want. And after seeing the card I thought that I am too involved in pushing towards new and new things I want to see happening. And that makes me impatient and unhappy. So I pause… and I see so much beauty around me that already happened. And I wonder… why can’t we just pause and enjoy what we have? Life’s become a constant race to achieve more and more. Of course I can’t be happy if I never once pause and appreciate what is already here…

Listen

February 20, 2016
If you are really quiet and if you listen very carefully, you will hear. And then you will know what you need to do.

Oracle card I pulled today said ‘intuition’ so this is what came out. It’s finally Saturday, the sun is shining, i feel good. All is fine. 🙂

Choose Love

February 19, 2016
How difficult can it be to give smiles instead of frowns? How difficult can it be to choose to enjoy life instead of being worried about things you can’t change? How difficult can it be to choose love? Happiness is choice. Besides, it’s Friday. That should make it a bit easier :). Happy Friday and thanks for visiting here! ❤

Laughter Brings Hope

February 18, 2016
Today I again pulled the “laughter” card from the oracle deck.

I quite enjoy doing flowers lately and using my elegant writer pen. I am so happy to see the ink and watercolor mix and flow. I am feeling a bit restless last two days. Lot of work and lot of private stuff going on. I hope more peaceful time is coming my way soon…

Open your heart

February 17, 2016
Bad night behind… it seems that all people around me were somehow affected with bad mood virus. Including myself… so I was worried and restless and of course didn’t sleep well. The weather is strange, rainy, cloudy, windy, warm…

But the oracle said ‘open your heart’. And I did. I do. Everything is different when you allow yourself to feel love…

Mandala on top of collage

February 16, 2016
This week’s lessons in Life Book 2016.

We were supposed to trace a given drawing of mandala on top of collage. I decided to use one of my mandalas from before, so I just drew it and colored with markers and acrylics. I’m not particularly thrilled with it, but it’s ok. Another lesson done. Back to my art journal tomorrow 😉

Adventure

February 15, 2016
Lucy decided that she had quite enough of work and worry so she hopped into her car and off she went for an adventure. It was raining white stars and dots but she was happy because she had a great day.

Seek beauty

February 13, 2016
It’s snowing. Wet heavy watery snow. The oracle said ‘seek beauty’… so that’s what I did. Beauty in watercolors blendig and flowing on the pages. I feel at peace with the world. All is good…

Laughter

February 12, 2016
I had a migraine yesterday. Not so bad, but still enough to make me quite moody. I started this spread in my journal feeling really frustrated. The oracle I pulled yesterday said ‘give’ again and I thought wtf I have nothing more to give, so I poured my frustration onto the pages and all I could think of was “this is too much… far too much…”. Luckily I didn’t finish it yesterday and this morning I woke up to a different inner landscape feeling very optimistic and recharged. I pulled the card and it said ‘laughter’. I actually laughed…

I find the spread really beautiful. I love green and orange, not my typical colors. I feel energy lifting up from the pages and into my eyes. All is good…

Black and white doodles

February 11, 2016
Today I give you this week’s lesson from Life Book. The challenge was to do it monochromatic. There were again painterly flowers presented by the teacher, but I decided that one frustration was quite enough so I rather stick to what I know I can do. So doodles.
