The Secret

A friend of mine recommended this book and I am so glad she did. I am only half way through and I am totally moved and inspired by the ideas. The secret is nothing new....no new idea really. It is all about how powerful the mind is and how we create our own reality by our thoughts. The Secret is based on biblical principles but I would not say it is a heavily religious book. The author refers to the 'Law of Attraction' a lot in the book. I highly recommend this book! It is awsome.

I have started my apron too as Renea discusses at Pocket Full of Prettys. I can't wait to see Reneas apron because I know it is going to be cute. We just wanted to wear something that would add to the element of fun to this workshop I am doing next weekend. By the way, I believe at least 10 women will attend. I have prayed specifically for at least 10 people and I believe that they will be there. I learned this in the book. You have to 1) ask the universe (for me it is God) the thing you desire 2) Believe you will receive it 3) Receive it-act as if you have already received it. Visualize receiving it.

On another note, I just want to say that I love my blog friends. I am grateful for all of your comments and I love to read your blogs and see your creations from your hearts. I love to read about your lives and your passions. I receive so much inspiration from all of you. Happy Weekend!!!

I haven't read the book but I have the DVD and watch it often. Truly a simple idea but so powerful.

I just came here through yoli's blog - and let me tell you - the secret WORKS! last january i started hearing about it andlaughed it off. came home and saw it on oprah and realzied the messages and thoughts i was sending out could be tweaked for the better. as soon as i did that, all these crazy things came my way and still are. i can explain in detail i f you ever are curious. but after struggling for years as an artist and writer, in 12 months i got my own product line, a new job, TWO book deals, the list goes on. so i just want to say there is a reason i saw your post! stay focused, follow your heart!! hugs to you!

Lesley,

I've already posted a comment on this post, but you might check out a few more inspirational (ok...self-help LOL) books! The Beautiful Ache, Get Out of That Pit by Beth Moore, and Creating a Charmed Life by Victoria Moore are all excellent books. I've thoroughly read Get Out of That Pit and it was wonderful. I'm currently in the midst of
reading The Beautiful Ache and Creating a Charmed Life. They are
awesome as well. I, too, own just about every self-help book out
there and am always looking for a new inspiring read!

Take care!

Paper Flowers and Fabric Flowers

Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.

Funky and Proud

Just wanted to say a big thanks to all who responded to the last post. You are all so smart and insightful. I think after much thought and several good conversations with my friends, I feel better about this whole idea. My conclusion, I do many different things that fall under the "mixed media" category...even the jewelry. I have this never ending curiosity and desire to learn new techniques. Whatever I am working on at the moment is satisfying my creative cravings...if not, I don't do it. If I don't enjoy something....I don't do it. It is that simple. The "Funky Art Queen" thing? It occured to me that the people that would be put off by my d.b.a. would be those that most likely would not be drawn to my art in the first place. Thanks again. I just love every one of you. Next blog......not all about me I promise. HUGS

Lost Sole Challenge

childs shoe in front of hs Originally uploaded by Funky Art Queen I'm starting to wonder if I am the only one that sees all these single shoes on the road. This is not the first time I have addressed this isue on my blog . I see at least one single shoe every day on the highway or a street in town. I don't understand where all these shoes come from. Every time I see a shoe on the road, I wonder how it got there.?.....I wonder what story goes with the shoe. If it is a childs shoe like this one, I wonder if a mother is going crazy searching the house for this shoe? Why just one shoe and not the pair of shoes?! I see shoes on the road all the time. They are just not always in the most convenient places for photographing. But, on occasion, these single shoes are in a location that I feel comfortable enough to stop and photograph them. The particular shoe was spotted in front of the Big Spring High School on 11th place. It was late evening in the summer so I felt very comfortable in
