meditation

In these past couple of very busy weeks I am reminded that I really want to meditate apart from the small amount we do in yoga class every week. I cannot express what it does for me to float away to a happy place and let all of the day and/or weeks thoughts and worries and preoccupations drift away. For me, It is an opportunity to pray and give thanks to God and I wish I had discovered it sooner. I highly reccommend it.
Yoga tonight was great, my energy level is still not quite back to normal from being sick so I couldn't quite push myself as much as I would like. In fact, the regular class wore me out so much that In the last pose...(it is called corpse pose- we relax for a few minutes at the end of each class by laying down on the floor, eyes closed, on our backs) I was so relaxed/exausted that when gillian, our teacher, prompted us to begin coming out of our relaxed state by rolling our head from side to side I nearly jumped off the floor it gave me such a start...I was in another place! It was amazing.
I am excited about our move this weekend but I hope the weather isn't too cold...I am looking forward to a working fireplace and some kickass baked goods! (our new roommate Joel makes amazing pies etc...) Should be a cozy christmas!
I posted purses on http://artistcollective.blogspot.com so check them out.
time for bed

feel the christmas adrenaline rush

wow, finally I am breathing for a moment and posting!!!!

I am over my marathon cold and living again.

The art show is done and I am trying to photo everything to post for sale on www.artistcollective.blogspot.com accepting payments through paypal. I have great cards, purses, pins, scarves and art coming to the web. The show went well (although the weather was horrid) we did have less traffic at this show than last christmas but I am really impressed with everyone's enthusiasim for these shows...it makes me think about how to do this much more often. I really enjoy them.

We are starting to pack and get ready to move this weekend...I am praying for a slightly warmer day on Saturday. I am to finish sorting through a lot of stuff this week, I have a good start but I'll be paring down a lot more I think...I am trying to figure out how in the world one person can accumulate so many craft supplies!

I have been invited to participate in a craft/art fair at Las Paletas on 12th ave s the 21st-24th 12p-6p so now I am preparing again for a show...I am excited about it and I am grateful for the invitation. Hope to see some of you there :)

Big Thanks to everyone who helped and purchased this weekend at the art show, it was a little chaotic so thanks for your support.

I'm working on some fun christmas projects...gotta keep them hush hush
