Just This

I'm cleaning up some of my old powerpoint pieces.  Not sure this is ready, but here is today's version.

Wicker Chair

I love making stuff in powerpoint.  Problem has always been I can't translate it for the web. BUT yesterday I used my new iphone and videotaped the powerpoint.  The result isn't exactly 'clean' but I'm pleased I can 'animate' in ppt and at least you get the idea!!!!

Here is the flat version.

Famous Meditators

I had a funny idea for the TV show.  'IT'S TIME FOR FAMOUS MEDITATORS' as a segment.  Maybe the famous meditator has been all over the world meditating in different places, like grocery stores and kmart parking lots. Or maybe he's practiced meditating with great(famous) teachers like jack kornfield and tara brach and pema chodron. or maybe he's been awarded meditation medals for sitting still the longest.  or for being the kindest, or breathing in and out and letting go of each thought as it appears.  Maybe he eats when eating, walks when walking, speaks mindfully, pets the cat when petting the cat, (vs. eating while petting the cat, or brushing teeth while driving or talking on the cell phone, landline and to a person in room) maybe he meditates on TV!!! maybe he jsut has a good marketing campaign or wears great outfits when he meditates.  any thoughts for this segment? maybe he has his own brand of meditation products.   Hmmmmm....have you all seen this yet?

Mindfulness Made Easy

I am getting back in the swing of my mindfulness TV show...today I posted a couple things on mindfulnessmadeeasy.blogspot.  Cleaning the drawers and closet must have helped because look how organized I am getting!  I actually have 4 pages of 'headings'!  things like What is Mindfulness?  and 'it's time to Notice This' and 'letters from People who want to know stuff about mindfulness' and 'its time for sitting meditation' and 'its time for walking meditation'.........

I COULD get MILDLY overwhelmed, but I thought that posting one thing at a time on the mindfulnessmadeeasy blog would be a simple way to start rolling.  Here is the link http://mindfulnessmadeeasy.blogspot.com

Making Space In Drawers

After I organized the closet, I felt so good and S P A C I O U S, I kept going and organized the dresser drawers.

Making Space In The Closet

I was thinking about needing more psychic space, and how to create that.  When my mind is filled with shoulds, maybes, have to's, don't knows, I tend to feel overwhelmed and cranky.  Clearing space and making order is a way to calm my anxiety.   So I organized the closet in my studio.  I took my time, didn't have anything else to do, enjoyed myself.  I threw stuff away that I didn't use or want,  I folded fabric, wrapped soul support cards in rubber bands, dusted the shelves, vacuumed the floor, rearranged where things went on shelves.

Looking At Fear

I'm working with fear, again.  I made some aspects of this drawing a long time ago.  And some I added today(observing fear, disguising, listening, loving).  Seems important for me to be aware of how I view fear.
