Hey everyone, welcome to another "Flower of Simplicity Inspiration."
Welcome to 2013! Happy New Year to everybody! Joy, Light, and Love to you
as you go through this new journey in this new year.
May all the love and joy
of the "knowing within you" keep revealing
the clues to your dreams as you go on each day. It's been... 2012...
was quite a year... a lot of contrasts in that year, a lot of heaviness, a lot of
...in some ways a described as darkness just went through some heavy,
questioning times
The end of 2011 as well as had some of that, so it's kind of been
a rough
year and a half
but within
those periods there was
pockets of amazing joy in there as well which has helped to shift me
like in the last video back in July
Lisette's song "The Leap" just shifted me amazingly
as you saw
shortly after that I did the drawings in my backyard just sort of
gave it up and just drew on canvas and
that heart that was like a pencil with the Universe coming out and
the Universe represented as a goddess above
those images began
to start a new journey for me and it was
another awakening for me to say
"wow, I'm seeing more of who I am"
and what I realized too was that
in my career
for over twenty years I kind of was trained to always
look towards a client, looks towards a manager, look towards an art director, to
say hey "Is this good enough? Is this good enough? Is this good enough?"
and when you
do that as your job
you're working on your artwork but you always have someone to report to
you keep looking for that
"Art Director, is this good enough?" "Yeah that's pretty good but can
you try a couple other variations that'll do this and then maybe add
some green onto that maybe and do this."
and then talking to other
feedback providers about that
it was always, "Is as good? Is this good?"
and I remember that when I
went to do "Art of Yoshi" on my own to be a fine artist
I didn't have that
external person to say, "Is this good enough? Is this good enough?"
It's only come in the last month or so that I started to realize that
that was part of
my dilemma, my part of the "quandary" in questioning my artwork all the time
and what ended up happening was I realized one day that
the only person that i'm reporting to is myself now but
the main kind of "self directing"
feedback that i'm getting from my "higher self" within
is the feedback of
"how does it feel when you paint that piece of artwork?" "When you do that sketch?"
"When you do that drawing?" "How does it feel?"
and if it feels joyful
If it feels like you're inspiring, it feels "beyond you."
Like when I draw a lot of these things it's not me "thinking I'm going to do this
I'm gonna make a pretty picture and do this" I just start sketching and see
what comes out
When i saw some of us are at work come out
it was just like,
"wow" okay, i i'm feeling that resonance, that vibration
and it shifts
what my artwork looks like. So you'll see
in the post from around July just after "The Leap" there were these amazing
pieces of artwork coming out
and another shift I recently had many within the last month or so
another shift in art work. Then the artwork that has been coming out has just been
flowing out and I've gotten to the point where
I remembered,
through
many of these struggles, that I may have gone through that
artwork is such therapy
and artwork
for me it was really reminding me that, "wow,
it speaks
about where i'm at"
and it has really helped me
get out of that dark area to get out of that dark space.
Tough year, but were "moving"
because I can feel the shifts I can feel the amazing things that have happened
be seeing it on my artwork now
and I'll get more videos about that out to you. We'll do a few more updates
as we're going on and will continue this on because I've gotten a lot of
clarity of
"why the 'Art of Yoshi' exists"
and i'll be doing some videos on that
I look forward to doing that. As you can see, the new opening is here. The new
logo is on here
[ I was trying to remember would I be pointing down here for the logo? yeah.]
the new logo is down there
yeah i'm really excited
to where I'm going from here
because
more and more clarity has come on and had a lot of great awakenings.
We'll get to those in some of the blog posts and some of the videos and...
thanks for tuning in. Welcome again to 2013
and i'll see you in the next videos
[ A little bit of a burp there, excuse me. :) ]
"Just at the ending of the video" but
as i'm showing with my non-ironed shirt
"it doesn't have to be perfect to get it out there.
So, on that note
when I see this video
and I can look at it and be reminded of it. "It doesn't have to be perfect"
I'll leave you with that.
Joy, Light, and Love as always, Thank You for being here it means everything to me
that you're here watching these, subscribing
Thank You so much.
Namaste
