six month notice

(must be the lack of sleep that has made me brave this morning... 

oh, hey, i notice my son has been in his bank! hmmm... )

in exactly six months, you will have the opportunity to celebrate international peace day... why am i bringing this up now? because i had an idea and ran it by a friend... then started to reach out to others wondering if they might like to get involved... and personally, i like to have some time to think about things and then execute them to my liking - 

here's the idea - you make a set of prayer flags in whatever way speaks to you - metal, paper, fiber, anything you wish to use... then hang them... take a picture of them in situ and share on september 21st... maybe we can have a central list going - i was thinking of making a page where you can add your name and link to it... 


adding our wishes to so many others in the world can only magnify the effect... 


in the meantime, i have been thinking about making necklaces -

'peace is not something you wish for;

it's something you make, 

something you do,

something you are

and something you give away.'

- robert fulghum

wishing you peace today - 

i'm off to smudge my workspace and get started... 

lightness

how to create more light in my life?

you have no time to love them.'

hand by nan emmett studio symbolizing an open approach to the world... releasing the patterns that are hurtful to ourselves and others... patterns that cut us off from so much opportunity... beautiful dyed silk from lisa jurist and a single labradorite... this stone is believed to enhance this intention in addition to giving strength and perserverance... 

~ setting my wishes free into the universe - not feeling as if they are silly or selfish... 

from the parts of me that reside in darkness burst forth sparks of light... wishes i have... wishes i make... setting them free into the universe upon the wings of faeries... 

~ helping others fulfill their desires - 

like when a man-child comes to you the night before his mom's birthday wanting something special for her to demonstrate his love... i have known this child since he was 5... 

and giving him that with a special message -

on the edge of the top i stamped 'happy birthday with love xoxo'

and made these as well...
