Welcome 2018

The year of new changes!

Growing, to me, means to let go of the old so the new can become part of us,

removing the old skin and mold the new one, it has to be larger and more comfortable,

easier to carry, happier, one that stretches and can be molded at will.

My vision for the new year is of me flying towards it, with confidence and peace

 on top of my freedom, meaning that I am free to go anywhere I want and 

do the things I love, this ain´t easy, it´s work, inner work but that is my main goal.

I am sharing with you a little about my process here so you can be inspired 

to create a vision for your year, I, we call it, true intentions and it´s 

something my mom created a few years a go with a tree of abundance and had 

many leaves meaning different things for her, I did mine based on what I call 

those things that are true, the ones that make us who we are like, peace, happiness, 

honesty, the new job and new car is not part of this, only things that mean working 

on your self and that´s why I call them true for those are the things that 

you will truly own and this year I am doing the same but with a different image, 

in my journal bellow I wrote about those intentions, then did a study in a 

small journal and finally the painting.

I took my time to think about those things I want and how, I did some

meditation work and this vision came to me...

From there, all I did was play with the different ideas that came to me.

You can download this drawing and transfer it if you want or use it as an inspiration!

I received many gifts for my studio time and I am already making use of them!

I love golden and I also use the Mexican brand which is pretty good too and 

super affordable and I don´t have to pay for delivery which is very expensive!

I am also expecting some open acrylics and alkyne oil paints to try them and

of course I can´t wait! :D

I use a simple notebook, pens and markers, soft pastels to play this way!

Grace to let go and hope to find

will to change and stamina to fulfill 

dreams to conquer and work to reach them

laughter and happiness

peace and truth

honesty and growth

love and the self.

I hope you create a beautiful vision for your self this new cycle,

you deserve beautiful things, inspiration, love and beautiful people

around you, you deserve to be loved and cared, you deserve all of

the good things life, God always is putting in our hands, be open to them

embrace all of your goodness ad say good bye to those things that 

no longer serve your purpose by adding new ones.

Much love to you!

 Happy 2018!

New dreams, new life, new goals!

New and bright, warm and peaceful, focused and tender,

that is how I am setting my intent for this year, so much to do it's hard to 

decide were to begin but that is good, if you have so many dreams too, it

means that you are healthy, alive and that you haven't quit yet, is the sign of

a spirit that is strong and wants to keep going.

I hope we keep up with our dreams, that we stay motivated and happy, 

motivation has to be updated often by ourselves, do not wait for it to come 

as some kind of mystic force, find those places, people and things you like 

or that you want to be and make a list, (you can use your art journal like me) 

make it attainable and also add those wonderful things you already are 

and have gained, it's very, very easy to forget about them and I am sure there 

are many wonders in your history that have helped you get here, specially

those you think are bad things, usually those things are the triggers that changes

the paradigms in our lives and bring lessons, those I´ve learned to treasure

for it is then when I learn and grow but we live in a culture were this things

are not considered as part of life, they are simply not observed and put 

into shadow, in some severe cases, we fall into the victim state but life 

can´t be wrong, there is more to it but only if you are willing to awaken you 

will learn to accept those gifts as a very important part of this journey.

Keep dreaming, 

of life, 

of the stars,

venture in trust,

seek higher,

deeper,

climb knowledge...

Keep wondering,

find truth,

 and yourself,

remove the veil,

find god,

rejoice,

master the journey.

Above all, remember that happiness is not something that

comes from the outside world, only you, yourself have that 

power, you create it for yourself. 

 Think of this things, if needed, regain your power.

Blessings!

On the first day of the year...

I decided to learn more this year

and follow my instincts on what to study,

I usually jump from one thing to another,

I get bored easily so doing it that way,

helps me keep interested, the bonus is that 

I end up learning a lot of different things!

I found this group on fecebook, 

Art journaling for women were they have

a challenge to make a year calendar and I just 

fell in love with the idea, so I will be doing

mine and will share with you! 

Follow this link to download 

the wonderful tutorial that inspired me to do it,

I hope you enjoy it and try too, it`s an awesome 

idea!  I did my first month this morning to 

celebrate the new year dong what I love the

most... art!

Mine is done in an altered book that will be dedicated to this only, I had other

plans but the mail is not being nice on these holidays so I decided that this would

fit my calendar and I love how is coming along!

I hope you are blessed this new year,

may all of your dreams be a great inspiration to

be better, to reach higher, to be happier!

At the end, being happy is the only thing that matters! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
