Louise Hay affirmation:   “My home is a peaceful haven.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Make up a new sport.

Media:  Scrapbook paper, Magazine photos, Mod Podge, Sharpie

Time:  1H:10M

Comments:  The sport I made up is call Purple Light Chase.  The image in today's collage reminds me of a place in my backyard where I sometimes sit to reflect and meditate.  I have a lounge chair that I place under oak trees and when I look up, I feel that I'm somewhere in the woods.    What a peaceful haven at home!  On a good day, I'm able to perceive a purple undulating light during meditation... and feel it's a fruitful time spent.

Day 163 Good money

Louise Hay affirmation:  

“I earn good money doing what satisfies me.  My work is a joy and a pleasure.”



Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Work with only the items you find in your refrigerator or freezer.

Media:  Scrapbook paper, Magazine and catalog photos, Mod Podge

Time:  1H:30M

Comments:   

Today's collage is a combination of ideas that blend both the work for which I earn good money:

office design

commercial furnishings 

finish specifications

And additional work that gives me joy and pleasure, but has yet to materialize as a means to earn good money:

dogs

Art and painting

residential design

holistic health and wellness

learning and writing  

The selection of the giant pear photo is a reminder of the pears (and other fruits and vegetables) in the refrigerator from our organic food co-op. What a wonderful resource and alternative to grocery store produce.  We received our order today, and gratefully spend a portion of our good money every couple of weeks on it.
