V. and "baby" Dear Life, 1. Maybe you've noticed that the green smiling Buddha disappeared from the table near the "talking chair" where I make my vids:-) This is because he is now V.'s "baby". I really see some resemblance there:-) 2. Thank for your loving nudges, Life. Now that I am putting April's shine together everyday I realize where my energy is weak and where I wobble:-) Ha-ha, there is much wobbling going on at times. 3. Thank you for "clearness" :-) I thought I will make up another word (I just love doing that) but this is a real word in English. I feel more and more where I am clear and where not. I also go through the whole process that brings more and more SHINE - and I also feel chipped:-) You are my Michelangelo and I am your David, Life, so I let myself happily being chipped - I know that my real "davidness" is coming out more and more. "I just chipped away the stone that doesn't look like David." --Michelangelo thank you note written by small hands "I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, wracked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing." - Agatha Christie That's it, isn't it, Life? The great Agatha has put the big dot over your big i -) 1. Thank you that I am able to listen to the voice inside. It is sometimes the smallest things - and being able to listen is just great. I would not know what I am missing if I could not listen and hear - but having this voice inside makes life easier. 2. I love living. True. There is a big heaviness at the moment around me and I wish it away but I still love living my life. Agatha is right and so to the point. a house of straw:-) V's creation Dear Life, 1. that's much muchos better, thank you! 10 C today and sun, now we're talking! V. also stepped out today quite willingly and played in the garden. Thanks God for that. 2. Thank you for the shower. I know that at the moment the shower does not deliver the best possible water but it's a good start:-) Love the convenience of it and `i so love the warm water on my skin. 3. Thank you for the wonderful flowers in the garden. yellow and purple, together, You, Life, are the biggest artist of all:-) mama and son - By Ioana mixed media on A1 aquarel paper Dear Life, Ok, today I feel better. I suppose I am hitting my Upper Limit Problem (Gay Hendriks, "the Big Leap") big time at the moment while I am stretching and stretching and stretching and at times (like yesterday) I feel totally lost in the woods. Time to get back to basics, right? 1. Thank you for allowing me to become a mother. It inspires me every day and it stretches me also every moment into being a better version of myself, as V. grows. I also notice that at this time I do not have the words to express how I know he wants to be raised. I am working on that. I find it amazing that virtually nobody understands how I feel about it and that people cannot accept my right to decide. It must be some upper limit problem also.. Would appreciate some insight, thank you. 2.About a few days from now we should be getting to the "two digits" temperature (in Celsius). I'd appreciate that, too. It's been a long and very cold winter. ou sont les fleurs d'antan - small encausic by Ioana Dear Life, Sometimes you make it a bit harder for me to stay grateful.. And I suppose I am not the only one. So today I will try even harder to find the ten things- juts because I know that finding joy in the simple things most probably will cheer me up.. 1. thank you for electricity. And thank you that I may use this electricity. 2. Thank you for the bees. I know they do much more for us than most of the people understand but today I wanted to thank them for the wax that made this encautic painting possible. 3. and thank you for honey. I love it. there were times I could not appreciate it but now I do. V. also loves honey. two fans of the bees here:-) 4. Thank you for my friend the laptop. It makes April's Shine possible and that makes me happy. V.'s second ever 2D person Dear Life, 1. thank you for fast feedback:-) I appreciate it especially if I unwittingly smack myself in the face energetically:-) I love seeing it quite soon in place of it coming later and me not knowing what that was all about… Like, today, my website not working.. What is that all about?? 2. Thank you for the new FIMO designs that came floating in my head yesterday..:-) I would love them to come at a time when I can do something about it, though.. If you give them to me while I am falling asleep they chance is quite big that I will not remember them by the next morning.. 3. Thank you for Tim Ferris, Life. Such an extraordinary fellow. I love his experimenting. he is a 100xIoana at that:-) And he is hot:-) 4. Thank you for the abundance of the market yesterday. our own embouteillage in the bedroom Dear Life, 1. Thank you time. Thank you that it' stretching when I need it to.. Thank you that I have all the time I need. 2. Thank you for my access to creation world. It is amazing to be able to be so inspired as I feel right now. Deep gratitude. 3. I love the idea that we can tap into all that world. I was so inspired yesterday to write all that material (and I am really seriously wondering if my lovelies had time to read it all.. gulp... Loved to write it, though. Please help them read, Life, if they need that information. thank you:-) 4. I love that today we get to go to the organic market again. It is a big journey every week but it gives us yummy yummy times and green smoothies:-) 5. Love the idea of this love journal. I am not always that inspired because I find it hard at times but it is a great tool to see the beauty in my life even if I am low or really in the ditches..:-) Ioana a few years back Dear Life, 1. Thank you for my past. I just found this picture of me from some years back and I loved remembering that beautiful time. It was just after I had climbed one of the mountains in my life and I was just discovering that I was at the base of another mountain yet:-) 2. Thank you for today's warm wind. Today I went barefoot in the garden to the amazement and - I must say, horror!!!:-) - of V. It was good and we talked about what wind is, we made some wind with our breath and we blew out some candles with our breath wind. Hopefully V. can become friends with the wind again..:-) 3. Thank you for today's green smoothie. It's really yummy. Lots of ginger today - ziiiinggg:-) 4. I love V.'s new games: one is about having a bath and he is the mother, I am the baby, he fills up the "bath" (big plastic container) with "water" (plastic drinking straws - yeah, we have that many!!) and I have to put my feet in the "bath" (hey, take your socks off!!, he says) and say "flats-flats".. :-) iPhone art April 1st Dear Life, 1. Today I am happy for the sunshine. Even V., that insisted yesterday that it was still winter and there are a few month till spring (he is still grasping the concept of time) said today that the sun is very strong:-) He even sits there in the light as we speak although he is usually extra sensitive to Papa Sun.. He usually asks me to draw close the curtains but not today. Here comes the SUN!:-) 2. Thank you for lemons! Mister David Avocado Wolfe Lord Chocolate said to me that apples are better for this climate and that lemons would be better for the tropics but I looooove lemons (if you want to read more about my love for lemons, please go to the today's empowering prompt. 3. Thank you for colors and for every day's possibilities to squeeze art in even if it is for a few minutes. Today's picture is made on the iPhone:-) I just love it. romanesco and other greens 1. Love mathematics. Just look at this gorgeous Romanesco fractal example! I rest my case:-) 2. Love the color green. Haha, did you notice?:-) 3. Love social media. Because it's social :-P Because it allows me to keep contact with people I did not see in person for 25 -30 years and still laugh together like we were still young and in high school. 4. I love loving stuff:-) 5. I am grateful for all the money coming my way and for the abundance I live in. |
