Embracing new ideas!

I have set myself on a journey to self-discovery and ideas when I have moments to music!  Well, let me be more specific....moments to SOUNDS. 

Some create to music - I get that!  I do that sometimes too!
But to have a specific SOUND that you focus on I've noticed that your mind can paint some unique and specific ideas that take you to many new places. 

I find myself encouraging with new words.

I find myself drawing things I wouldn't normally draw. 

I'm starting to really enjoy this new habit I'm forming!!!! For 21 days straight, I am listening to a sound and then doing a free flow during and after til I feel the page is full.  Because I kinda sorta skipped yesterday - I did TWO today. Both very different sounds and very different ideas.  I split them between morning and evening. 

I can't wait to share what happens next with this.  I would like to make the photographic images next and work through those as art pieces.  I've had a deep thoughtful goal of doing a cohesive gallery show.  My only hurdle has been...I AM VERY SCATTERED and not focused. 

And now...I feel this focus could turn into a 21 piece exhibition :) 

Herez to 2015!  Let's do this!

Love Jen

P.S. I think I've decided to wear this amazing hair piece from Becca Jett to the bridal show. :):):):)
It is SO PRETTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Changing your perspective! - via a Hot Air Balloon ride...

Flight conducted by Sheldon of VegasBalloonRides.com

I recently had the pleasure of soaring above in the Las Vegas desert.  Your perspective on life and environment can completely change in a matter of seconds when you let yourself into the experience of flight.

The environment was peaceful and quiet without anxiety or fear of heights.  The pilot was extremely passionate and knew everything he needed to know to help steer the balloon and LAND the balloon!  The only thing was - we didn't have a guaranteed landing spot.  Go figure!  When you fly a balloon you literally have to "go with the flow" until you find the spot where you can safely land.  They had a crew chasing us over streets in the city following us til it was time for our landing.  They work together as a unit to help us ALL have a great experience.  It was sooooo fun!

I deeply DEEPLY LOVE symbolism in my life!  I look for meaningful TANGIBLE experiences to encourage me on my personal journey.  This was no different to me!

Here are at least TWO things I learned about perspective while flying in a balloon:  

Looking down into the basket.

 #1 - Be at PEACE with your pace! - when riding in the balloon you have to stand in the basket for about an hour and be ok with it.  You will also probably have other people sharing this experience with you.  Stand with them.  Be in that moment and float free-er than you have EVER!  Embrace the peace that comes with "going with the wind".

The pilot and crew of Vegas Balloon Rides!

 #2 - Trust your PILOT!  (and crew) - While it may not always be EASY we need to learn to trust others for the ultimate direction of our lives.  Your pilot KNOWS what he is doing.  Your pilot is PASSIONATE about your experience on this journey.  Your pilot CARES about where you are going and where you can land safely.  He lights the FIRES and takes you up high into the sky!!!!!

There are a gazillion more things you can LEARN from these experiences...but I wanted to share TWO of them with you.  I encourage you to experience this for yourself and find out what you FIND out about yourself or your life.  

Pre-flight - getting "warmed up" and ready to fly!!!!!

THANK YOU!
I want to thank you ALL for a great 2014.  This, so far, has been a great journey of purpose, love, creativity and connection.  I have had a BLAST getting to know some of you and look forward to the dreams of 2015.  I hope your dreams come to pass and that the deepest DESIRES of your hearts come into reality.  Have a very Merry Christmas and a GLORIOUS Happy New Year!

Post-Bridal-Show : Pre-Ren-Faire!

I completed my LAST spring show for 2013 and it was a challenging one, but yet a very rewarding one!! I had a great great time setting up and tearing down the booth plus hanging out with 2 great ladies that helped me IMMENSELY.  I can't thank them enough for the help.  I had put so much energy into my prep and thoughts and gifts...and things....I even had my husband help me with a VERY last minute project to dress up my computer screen.  I'm just amazingly thankful for those that are supporting me....I am very very very thankful.  Did i say thankful enough? LOL!!!!

So this quickie blog is about those moments that you least expect...I'm at the bridal show and I see vendors I know...as well as people from the metroplex....and people I have worked with in the past...It was such a pleasure to see faces again after so long. :)
