A Year of Abundance 2013


A Year of Abundance I see for next year 2013
Love this artist's work, no it is not mine, wish it was, it is so joyful and vibrant.
So hard to believe we are coming to the end of another year and next year I turn 60, still have the feelings of a teenager inside, maybe with a little more wisdom though.

Extraordinary Women

I was one of those girls who always felt she didn’t belong, many of my friends were musicians, artists and frankly different but I myself hadn’t touched my creativity.  In those days it was either plainer exhibited or you just didn’t have it.  Oh how I wish the encouragement I know of now was around for me then, how do I tap into my own inner encourager at nearly 60.  What do I really love to do I know I love colour, I enjoy my camera as all can see with this collection of photos it is a joy to create small collages but what to do with them next.  Let them tell a story of extraordinary women, women who don’t mind being different who said at an early age I just don’t want to be ordinary, so what does this really mean. 

I question my extraordinary part of myself and this is what she told me.

Never be afraid to show yourself, don’t think that there is ever anything wrong with you, you are set with a number of qualities that once you unearth assist you in shining your true colours in this world.  Believe always in yourself no matter what others may have to say you are unique, beautiful and creative.  Wear outrageous outfits, dance at midnight, dream of distant lands and laugh at little things.  Never let anyone or anything stand in your way in believing your dreams can be manifest, anything is possible and miracles are in the process of daring to be different.

Today I begin the journey of connecting with my own extraordinary woman and encourage any of you out there to join with me and proclaim to the world that we have a job to do and that is to remind all women whatever their age that they are all extraordinary and it is their right to be the person they were born to be.
