THE MORE YOU COME HERE, THE BETTER YOU FEEL!

Aries New Moon Creative Magic 4/10/13 April 10, 2013

Rainbow Faery, on top of the world! Envisioning, enjoying, appreciating, forever moving forward on this journey of love and life. What do you envision for yourself?

It is the Aries new moon, like the astrological new year, and the time to set forth new intentions with clarity. Let go of the old, start right here right now, intending to create what you want in your life.

Envision!

Where do you want to go? What do you want to FEEL?

How can you create opportunities to feel the way you want to? How can you honor your authentic self, while striving for the you that you will become? You don’t need the answers, the questions themselves are sufficient! =)

Just ask.

Lately I’ve taken a curious approach with energy, maybe even a bit mischievous, like a kid rubbing her hands together “What will I create next?” followed by a trickster little giggle. Allowing it in is FUN! I’ve decided I’m just going to keep having fun and asking the universe for more abundance, balanced with some basic bookkeeping, and the abundance just keeps rolling in! I am enjoying this season, and look forward to what is to come. The message I keep receiving lately is “Just keep creating!”

My intention for this Aries new moon, is to create my own space (currently staying with my parents, since July 2012). I want my boys to have their own room(s), functional play spaces, a joyful cozy witchy kitchen, garden & yard, walls for me to decorate, shady and sunny chill spots, I have the vision in my mind of how my space feels: open, clean, free, colorful, bold, full of life & foliage, comfy, creative, functional, simple. I am open to the infinite possibilities for how this will play out. I will focus on the good feelings I feel when I envision my beautiful space!

My Everyday Magic

*An amazing Wet & Wild Photo-tastic Weekend!!

*Turned in my application & portfolio (which I’m excited about, a spiral-bound photo book of all my artwork) for the Guam Regional Medical City art competition, the $70,000 commission opportunity!!!!

*Went to the Yacht Club with Bliss Fairy and all the kids, love hangin’ there, so peaceful and the kids can be their crazy selves.

*On Saturday I SOLD OUT my entire Pika’s Cafe exhibit to one dude!!! Soooooooooooooooooooo stoked.

*Also on Saturday was the Rick’s Reef Classic surf contest, and out of 40 competitors, my dad took 1st place in the longboard division and my brother took 1st place in the shortboard division. Proud of all the surfers in my life, including my little mini rippers!

*On Sunday, my parents celebrated their 40th anniversary! We stayed overnight at the Sheraton, and had brunch with the whole family. It was awesome.

*Took the boys to the surf class for the 1st time in quite awhile.

*Just started on a new big painting. Right now the entire 3′x5′ canvas is black. =) That will change soon.

*Feeling oh-so-abundant!

*Filed my taxes, ON TIME!!!! Lol, that’s huge ok…

*A colorful new faery photoshoot. Taken by my little budding photogs.

*A chill day at home after the long crazy awesome weekend.

*Really loving mother nature, and just admiring the beauty of the earth around me.

Rainbow Journey

My Everyday Magic

*Listening to “Let Us See the Beauty” by Lawrence Cole & the Songweavers… “Let us see the beauty every day, and source our lives from its presence. I want to know, if you can see the beauty, even when it’s not pretty every day. Let us see the beauty every day…”

*Super colorful island-style Easter fun this weekend.

*SO much awesome positive feedback on the whole Guam Reef Hotel art project, as well as my Pika’s Cafe exhibit. I couldn’t be more grateful, pure magic! The opening went great, we revealed the artwork that was covered with a cloth, and there were Chamorro dancers and free Chamorro treats. Mmm…

*Having fun thinking of what I shall ask the universe for next. =)

*Doing some basic budgeting, filled out tax return, checked up on some other financial stuff. It’s funny, because I feel so abundant, and more is coming, but at the moment I have $40 to my name and am juggling that around to figure out how to pay a couple basic upcoming expenses. But I’m so not worried about it, just having to get really creative, and following up on that money that should be coming.

*Enjoying a dark beer as I write this. =)

*The weather! We’ve had glorious weather lately. Sunshiney, beautiful, breezy, windy, lightly rainy, and just crystal clear through Easter, and then wind and rain today, blustery, grey, mixed with some bursts of sunshine. That’s Guam.

*Starting a new “Roots” painting… feeling grounded already!

*Friends and family

*Animals

*YUMMY DESSERTS! On Guam we have a favorite dessert called “Latiya” (pronounded Luh-tea-zuh) which is pretty much a vanilla pudding over pound cake sprinkled with cinnamon, often made with young coconut to be really awesome. Mmmm…

*Awesome kids. They are all so crazy, and that’s why we love them. Watching them all navigate their challenges, dramas, triumphs, joys, blahs, boredom, and LEARNING all the way. They are so creative and eager to learn when given the opportunity. Just as we are now, grown children, still living and learning and figuring out (or not) life.

*Flowers. Some of my favorite things in the world.

*Having a lazy media day with my boys, movies, games, vegging out after a busy weekend.

*Writing this over the course of a couple days =) Adding as I go.

*Had a really difficult icky day but actually navigated pretty well and it turned out well. Truths were spoken.

*ANOTHER difficult day, and then healed it by going to the park and refusing to leave until I felt better. We ended up coming up with a new routine/rhythm idea for our days. And I got some cool photos.

*Enjoying my moon time, feeling so in tune with myself and my cycles, and the moon itself.

*OMG, got a phone call today from a guy who wants to buy ALL my pieces that are exhibited at Pika’s Cafe!!!!!!! I REALLY have a lot of painting to keep doing!!

*Planning our stay at the Guam Reef Hotel, we will have two nights, 3 days, so it will be a vacation for my boys and I. Beach, going on the Trolley, eating out, buying our own groceries too, bringing stuff to do, relaxing time, tourist time.

*Thank you to the check that cleared promptly today JUST in time, so I could keep my Goddess Circle membership AND pay my bills on time.

*Feeling so abundant!!

Love you all dearly!

My Everyday Magic

*Fire Fairy’s magic yesterday, and Spicy Fairy’s magic the day before, I didn’t get a chance to comment, but enjoyed them both immensely!

*I am DONE (for now, apparently there are more wall spaces to fill!) with the Guam Reef Hotel Art Project. This Friday is their last day for Chamorro Month festivities, and a revealing of the artworks. Excited, the local newspaper will be there!

*An Orange & Blue adventure with my little boy today. =)

*Time with just one boy, SO different with just one! So peaceful. Lol.

*This Guam Reef Hotel art project is evolving. They want me to fill other wall spaces, and there is this space called “Top of the Reef” which is their top floor, and it is all glass windows overlooking the entire scope of Tumon Bay. I will take a photo next time I’m up there! Anyway, there is so much potential for the space, and we are planning some kind of art retreat/exhibit to hold there! And of course, they want artwork in there too.

*Finished all my “online” stuff today, wrote up 2 blog posts, and also wrote up my Creative Indeed eZine. I send it out in the morning here on Guam, so if you sign up, you’ll probably get this one. Plus you’ll get my free ebook called “5 Essentials for Nourishing the Creative Spirit in You” =)

*Taco Night with friends

*Painting is my job. How freaking awesome is that?! I am so grateful. Thankful for everyone who has encouraged and invested in me, especially in the very beginnings! And thankful for my commitment to doing what I love and find joy and energy in. SO worth it, even with all the challenges and hiccups that come along with the journey.

*Coffee this morning, haven’t had any for awhile…it was so tasty.

*Ripe bananas my dad brought back from their sailing voyage to Woleai, sooooooooo tasty and sweet!!!

*Love, respect, freedom & everyday magic for all!

My Everyday Magic

*It’s 12 12 12!!!!!!!!!

*Today is my birthdaaaaaay!!!!! I am 28. =)

*Feeling immense gratitude for life, this space, all of you, every encounter and experience that has brought me where I am now, and every blessing that we don’t even know about yet.

*Having FUN. It’s been hard work sometimes, and I breathe a breath of relief as I ease back into it a bit more. The kind that feels good. Having fun and enjoying life is worth the initial learning curve! Letting go of external and self-narrated pressure. Whew.

*Wishing I could give you all a FREE HUG right now, so here’s a virtual one with Kate and I. ;-)

*I tagged almost every category we’ve got for this post. It all fit!

*New clothes, a few quality pieces.

*A fabulous day and evening planned (I’m writing this the night before actually, ;-) )

*Yummy foods to enjoy: Grilled eggplant, BBQ chicken, slow-cooked yoshita wings, sliced veggies, olive/artichoke/tomato bruschetta, veggie enchiladas, fresh caught wahoo fish from my dad, probably going to be baked with finer, onion, herbs, and either mayo or coconut milk, some lemon & green onions. Borscht, ham and rolls, rice, and I don’t even know what else others are bringing!!! And the cake is a chocolate chiffon with chocolate icing. Simple. Yum.

*The Sagittarian gift of seeing the big picture, optimism, justice, freedom, & adventure. Enjoy this month in whatever way lights your soul. From today through 1/15/13, is a supposed “opening” in which we lay the template for how the next year(s) will play out. We choose how we want to be, including the ability to change and evolve in that desire in every moment. So during the next 4 weeks, we’ve got a New Moon to really plant some serious seeds for ourselves and the world. We’ve got a lot going on our side during this time. Be your change right now. With LOVE. You are freakin worth it.

Love, Shell ~ Rainbow Faery

Please share, what magic is sparking your being to life? What are you most grateful for from 2012? Where are you looking for freshness, revival, and how have you experienced it? You are so loved, in every simple & infinite way. 

 

My Everyday Magic 11/7/12 November 7, 2012

 

My Everyday Magic

*Enjoying space

*Slowing down

*Spending time sitting outside

*Writing down ideas

*Reflecting on where to focus my energy

*Reflecting on my ever-evolving purpose

*Reflecting on my ever-questioned-&-shifting beliefs

*Accepting nothing as the absolute truth

*Making heart connections the priority, with a bit of practical & mundane flavor.

*Feeling like I’m at a climax of sorts, excitedly (and sometimes stamping my feet in impatience & curiosity) wondering just how it all will continue to unfold. What now? This is the leading edge, constantly. Our lives are the ultimate thriller and suspense movies. I like to make mine be fun, positive and upbeat too.

*Embracing transition & change

*Letting go of old shit.

*Being me. Bold, graceful, fun, simple, silent, laughing, lazy, raw, intense, passionate, opinionated, indecisive, eternally eclectic ME. None of it and all of it I say!

*In a glittery poof, I’m off, love you all, much magic & laughter & peace*

This is ME Magic! May 19, 2012

Filed under: "Express Yourself" Magic,Sparkle Fairy — Kate Street @ 9:46 am

I’ve been writing on my friend, Michelle’s, super-cool website for months now. One of my very favorite streams of consciousness that has been going on recently over there is the “This is Me” series. Each blogger has been taking turns writing out a list of things that make us uniquely US. Yesterday was my turn, and I have to say it was as much fun writing out that list as our True Confessions is here on My Everyday Magic. It’s also been so much fun reading what others have to say ~ some nice, some naughty, and always awesome.

Read my post, if you like. And if you want more read the whole series. Whether you agree or disagree with some of what we do, you can’t help but fall in love with our authenticity! ♥

Here’s the first part of my list:

* I sometimes feel like I don’t truly belong blogging here as I’m home with my children all day and I only work at naptimes and I don’t make very much money.

* Some people think I must be incredibly patient since I homeschool and am with my children all the time. I am becoming more patient as the years go by, but it is by no means a natural virtue of mine.

* The only way I can homeschool is to unschool ~ unschooling is allowing the children to lead their own learning and pursue their own interests. If I had to sit down with a curriculum I would not last a single hour.

* I’ve always laid down with my babies during naptime ~ ALWAYS. It’s my downtime, worktime and I really look forward to it. Most days there is nothing more important to me than naptime.

* I allow my children to watch TV, ipads and play video games and I don’t really worry about this at all. We bought our 7 year old his own ipad for his last birthday.

* I believe my husband is a genius and he’s my absolute favorite person to talk to.

* I’d rather be proud of my children for who they are, than what they do.

READ THE REST

If you’re inspired, share a bullet point or two of what makes you YOU! Or just share some plain ol’ good Magic. Here’s some more of mine:

* An on-line chat over a cup of tea on my Love From Baby blog! (if you have a link/blog/website please come share it!)

* Planting flowers and then enjoying them oh-so-much!

* DEEP SLEEP!

* Transmuting negative energy and realizing I CAN HANDLE THIS GRACEFULLY!

* Friends coming over for dinner and fun later this afternoon!

* Naptimes, oh sweet naptimes. ♥

Share with me your ME magic! I love you!

222! awww! Maybe I was meant to fill in today ;) <3
I’ve been wanting to share this with you anyway (part of me thinks I did once upon a time ago…but reminders are nice too!):

Regardless of quality, keep doing your best – no more and no less than your best. If you try too hard to do more than your best, you will spend more energy than is needed and in the end your best will not be enough. When you overdo you deplete your body and go against yourself, and it will take you longer to accomplish your goal. But when you do less than your best you subject yourself to frustrations, self-judgement, guilt, and regrets.

I forget where I found it, but I repeat the bold section to myself all the time!

MEM:
:) finding a song I like on youtube!
:) SUNSHINE!!!
:) the support my lovie and I have for each other <3 he amazes meee!

What WONDERFUL things have you experienced today?!

 

Marvelous Monday Magic; 12/12/11 December 12, 2011

Filed under: "Express Yourself" Magic — lexa106 @ 9:05 am

ANNOUNCEMENT: This weekend’s $50 winner is our very own Spicy Fairy! Congrats, Little Sister! ;) ~ The Sparkle Fairy

*******

Spicy Fairy

Happy Monday everyone! Today I want to talk about expressing ourselves and how important it is to do so effectively. You see, yesterday I was a tad bit grumpy, hungry, and tired, and I was a little rude to my mom. Instead of being honest and just telling her so, I came off as cold and demanding, which did not express my thoughts effectively. Luckily we worked it out easily and I apologized. I just would like to say that there are so many ways to express yourself… here are some of the ways I do it [that are more effective than being a harsh teen ;) ]

My Expressive Magic;

~ dance! Didn’t see that one comin’, huh? Yes, as you know, I’m a dancer, and I live for it. I love finding songs that I can act to because attitude is my forte ;) Regardless, dance is an aesthetic way to portray feelings, and it’s good for you too!

~ being a goofball! Here and there my spurts of energy turn into silly sounds and funny faces, and I serve as comic relief to my friends and family. Letting your fun side out helps express the less-serious side, and it’s been scientifically proven that laughing and smiling help heal the soul! :)

~ writing! I’d like to say I’m a persuasive writer, and I absolutely love poetry because it’s such a beautiful and powerful way to hear the heart.

~ drawing! I just found out this year that I can and actually enjoy drawing! I signed up for Foundations in Drawing because I wanted to expand my horizons, and little did I know I inherited my mother’s artistic gene. Not nearly as grandiose or apt as hers, but it’s a start! Drawing is way to beautifully manipulate your thoughts or emotions, and there’s so many ways to make it interesting!

How do you express yourself? I’m curious :) Let me know here! Have a fabulous day <3
