From my heart

Keep warm!

PS:

Did you know that reindeers can be born from ladybugs? You don't believe it? My reindeers on the image above were made from the image in this post. See-e-e-e??? (You can grab them in our shop).

Be creative!

Power of One

Have you ever wondered where's your place in this World? What can we really do among so many other people doing 'their' things?

I like to imagine that I am like one of the cells in my body... I do my job every day, I do the things that I feel I need to do, I do them the best I can. If I wander away from my direction, the World will get sick, just as we get sick when our cells stop functioning the way they supposed to...

So, I do believe every person on this planet is important. I count, you count, we count. I rely on you, you rely on me - in order to stay well and happy. I believe in the power of One.

Because of my belief, my next question is: 'What I can do to help others follow their direction?' I can't tell them where to go or what to do. They need to follow their own path, their own inner map. So, I help them in many different ways. As you know, I help some with art therapy and phototherapy techniques. I help the others with my little books and illustrations. This year I started to help with my images, my photos - transformed into greeting cards, they have a special mission to help people follow their paths. Find out how we do it in our Vision & Verb Shoppe, where you can find and buy our images and help too.

We are helping people via non-profit organization Kiva. They do a great job and I'm really happy to know that the power of one makes such a wonderful change in the World. We want every cell of our bodies to stay healthy, and we can gain this doing what we can at this moment, on this day and every day! 

Do you believe in the power of One? How do you help, how can we help and how do you like our idea of helping the others? Is it worth it?

Be-cause

For some time my head is chased by the thoughts about who am I, where I'm going and what to give to this world... What kind of a trail I leave behind? How deep I touch the hearts of others?

I've always believed that we are here with a specific purpose and cause - just the way we are, with our abilities and talents. We do not need to change ourselves into someone else, we do not need to be perfect, we can be poor or rich, small or big. What counts is the ability we have and which we spread around us the best way we can.

When you give to the world your skills and leave them to the Universe, you leave yourself to the flow that ensures a balance in the world. There is no need for questioning why and how, there are no unusual feelings. Everything, it seems, is in the right place. Be-cause.

Therefore I am pleased to tell you that I was very-very-very happy to take part in the project of Dom in Stil - with my contribution for a calendar 2012, which will be auctioned there to bring joy and to bring happiness to those in need. 12 artists from two countries tried to give what is the best in us - for you be-cause, to be a cause. I invite you to read more about the project at DIS's web site and join all of us who want to give the best pieces of ourselves to those who need our support and assistance. And do not forget to jump to the DiS's FB page, where every day is a special day. Go, go, go! Be-cause!

We are going to have a calendar or two on this website for auction too, so stay tuned - I'd be happy and grateful for your help with spreading joy and happiness for a good cause. You are wonderful, you know! Because you are a cause. See you there and here!

Before and After

Do you remember the picture as work in progress in the post  'Work in progress - or the healing power of creativity'? I was healing my hurt soul with the therapeutic art expression.

When you create, lots of processes are going on in you - the process of  purifying, self analyzing and deep thinking… That's what was going on with me as well.

And that's how this little picture with a special title was born: 'Be natural':

Hmmmm…

Are we ever natural? When? How we 'are', when we are natureal?…

When we are natural, we grow. When we are natural, we bloom. When we are natural, we are playful, curious, amazed… When we are natural, we are relaxed. When we are natural, we are the way we are.

How do you feel, when you are (or think you are) natural?
