How to Un-Create

in ,
When we want something to disappear from our lives we must un-create it.

When we create something, we have a vision in our minds and an intention to create it. We dream and imagine it coming to be... we keep our attention on it. We think about it all the time... And then we take action.

So how do we un-create?

If I have something that I really don’t like (lets say a painting) and it’s on my wall and everytime I look at it I say, “Oh, I hate this painting. It’s got to go!” If I truly want it gone, then what do I do?

Do I keep looking at it saying, “I really hate this, I wish it would go!!”

I could look at it forever... just wishing it would go away... but the truth is, the more attention I give it, the more emotion I give it... the more it will remain as an ugly painting on my wall.

Here are six steps to un-create:

  1. Be clear that you want this thing (person, experience) out of your life.
  2. Make peace with it. (Thank it for being a part of your life and whatever it has given you).
  3. Imagine your life without it. (Imagine it floating away... or disappearing and getting smaller and smaller.) How do you feel?
  4. KNOW that it is on it’s way out.
  5. Take whatever action is indicated to you.
  6. Now give your attention to what you Do want.

That’s it!

Un-creating can be almost as much fun as creating... and opens the door for something new.

What do you need to let go of?...

What will you un-create today?

 

 

Once upon a canvas...

in , ,
Once upon a time there was a white canvas. The white canvas stood next to many other white canvases on a store shelf... some bigger than others, but all looking very much the same.

All the white canvases wanted to grow up to become paintings, but this particular canvas was also a dreamer... She wanted to be so much more than an ordinary painting. She dreamed of becoming vibrant with colour and expression and to live an amazing and unique life!  She wanted to be all that she could BE. She wanted to come alive and to travel the world.

One day she was picked up and brought to a room full of light and colour. The room was so bright that at first she couldn’t see...

Gradually, as her eyes adjusted to the new light, she found herself surrounded by bright and colourful paintings... and she was in awe. She wanted to be like them. She was so excited for the possibilites before her... it was hard to be patient. She wanted it NOW.

Finally one day, lines began to appear on her white canvas skin. She watched as the lines became shapes, and the shapes became characters... White Canvas was coming to life...

 

Stay tuned for the adventures of Daisy...

 

If I were a painting...

If I were a painting, what would I be?

What is the essence of Me?...

My essence is a beautiful, blissful love energy that radiates out from my heart, warming me like a pink blanket.

My essence is a deep red, velvety rose...

It is sky blue and dreamy...  a feather floating in the wind.

It is an emerald green forest... full of magic and faerie tales... adventurous, courageous, fun and playful.

My essence is like a wild garden... rich with ideas, creativity and colour.

If I were a painting, what would I be?

I would be a wild garden of red roses...

If You were a painting , what would You would be?

 

Just imagine...

in ,
I love my imagination. We are best friends.

As a child I lived in the world of my imagination. I could sit for hours daydreaming out my bedroom window... 

Time ceased to exist.

With my imagination I can travel wherever I want. I can revisit past pleasures and visit future dreams...

Sometimes I just say to myself, “Well, I can always go there in my imagination!”

The past and future exist only in our minds. We can change our past and future by what we imagine right now.

Live out of your imagination, not your history. ~ Steven Covey

So when I wake up in the morning I begin imagining my day. I imagine the new painting I’m going to create... Where I might live or travel to... my next project to birth... I imagine all the details of this waking dream...

Just imagine...

If you can imagine it, you can create it. If you can dream it, you can become it. ~ William Arthur Ward

The path to your dreams...

in
I wanted to be an artist when I grew up. That was my dream.

It was so simple and clear really... I wanted to create art and express the beauty I experienced in the world around me.

So why did life get in the way?

Perhaps it was a test to see how strong my desire was. Or maybe I just needed to become stronger...

Well, it’s been a long and winding road to my dreams with many distractions along the way...

And now it’s good to be Home. Home is the dream.

Home is where the heArt is... truly.

When we live our dreams we live an inspired life of deeper meaning, purpose and happiness.

Do you have a dream inside you waiting to be born? Are you ready to live the life you imagined?

I've created a 21 Day Dream Journey to help you transition and make your dreams a reality. This is a peaceful, gentle, yet powerful way to connect to your Self and change your life.

Second Sleep

It’s time for my second sleep.

I’ve been awake since 3:30 in the morning. It was a dream that woke me... a dream that came with a wonderful new idea. So I sat up in bed, opened my great, big, idea book... and began to write...

We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep ~ The Tempest, William Shakespeare

I love early mornings. It is the perfect time for writing. The rest of the world is sleeping... As dawn breaks I’ll walk down to the sea... and watch the world come to life again...

I’ve come to accept the ebb and flow of my sleep. Like the tide it seems to rise and fall with the moon cycle... And I make the most of it. Some days it is high tide and waves of tiredness flow over me... I let myself be carried out to sea to drift on the ocean of my dreams...

Other times the tide is low and sleep just laps at my ankles... I am awake, alert, active... that’s when ideas rouse me from my slumber and demand to be written down. So I go with the flow...

It’s 10:00 am and I’ve already had a full day.

A person who has not done one half his day's work by ten o'clock, runs a chance of leaving the other half undone. ~ Emily Bronte

Now it’s time for my second sleep...


What is Art?

in
What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real. ~ Rabindranath Tagore

Art is beauty, inspiration and magic...

I love creating... transforming the visions in my mind to form on canvas. When I write I transform the words and ideas swirling in my mind and bring them together as an expression on paper. When I dance I express through movement...

Through art I express and create mySelf. I define who I am through what I do and how I express.

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures. ~ Henry Ward Beecher

How we live is an expression of who we are. Everything we do, say, wear, eat, think about... is our art.

Everything in creation has its appointed painter or poet and remains in bondage like the princess in the fairy tale 'til its appropriate liberator comes to set it free. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Art is the expression of our inherent beauty and way of Being in the world.

 

What do you love?

in
I love waking up to a new day.

I love bedtime too... wondering what adventures I’ll have in dreamland...

I love listening to the rain when I’m cozy inside... or walking in the rain with a brightly coloured umbrella...

I love lying on my big rock that overlooks the sea... the summer breeze whispering over me... tall grasses growing... waves, seagulls... summer...

The letter S, the letters R, A...

The number 5,

The colour red.

Hour-long northern sunsets...

Travelling, adventures...

Mystery.

I love creating. I love the whole process of creating. To create is to Live. Creating is magical...

What do you love?

 

The most important thing...

in ,
This weekend it’s Thanksgiving here in Canada, and where I live there is just so much to be grateful for!

If I made a list of everything I could think of it would be very long indeed. It includes my wonderful family, many like-minded friends, my health, the place I live and play, my studio, the wind, the ocean, sunny October days...

And then I was thinking...

All of these ‘things’ come and go. Relationships change, families evolve, children grow and live their own lives, careers change, sunny October days become rainy November days...

What am I most grateful for?

When life inevitably changes and I feel overwhelmed, sad or in a place of just ‘not knowing’ I say to myself, “Well, I always have Me.” I am so grateful for that connection I have. It always brings me back to a feeling of ‘Home’ and presence. Of just Be-ing. I'm my own best friend.

When I feel like throwing my arms up in the air and saying, “I give up!” It’s also nice to be able to say, “Well, I’m just going to paint.” Then I let everything else go...

That’s the most important thing.

Peace, Love, Beauty.
