Vision Board for Exercise Routine

I created this vision board so that I would add exercise to my life.  My intent was that I would start thinking or rather non-thinking about exercise.  I wanted exercise to be as regular as brushing my teeth.

I am happy today to say this is a reality.  I am not just exercising I am training with a great trainer called Karen Bell of KTBell fitness and training.  Her classes are at 5:30 am and I am there bright with excitment and regularity.

“Image a Future”

We are often kept from doing and getting what we want because of our inside mental thoughts. The pain we feel when we lose something we’re attached to, or when we confront something we’d rather avoid is a direct result of not knowing everything we could or should know about our own mind. We’re caught by our own ignorance and need a guide on our side to guide us through processes of thought and perception that can help us break free. The Coaching experience is designed for creating a way out of our constant mental chatter that keeps us from getting what we really want.
We all have an inner guidance system and a form of knowing within but it can easily get clouded by obstacles and challenges.

Why live life half way?

Why not commit to being fully alive?

Can you image a world where coaching and coaching skills were a natural part of human relationship? This is a beautiful vision a kind of paradise on Earth. Children would be taught and parented by men and women who have found fulfillment in their own lives. They would realize that the current moment is one where they can feel great and don’t have to wait until they are rich, or own that great car to be happy but happiness is available always spontaneously in the moment.

Image a world where everyone knew their core values and life purpose and aligned with them on a daily basis with fun, excitement and passion.

Image a world where the earth news was one of how thoughts being projected today brought people into miracle thinking and indescribable projects and inventions were created.

Image a world where wellbeing was felt and experienced by all.

Image a world, where we all knew that our planet is in perfect balance and positioned in a much greater Universe. Where we could share with each other glimpses into the greater universe of wellbeing and creativity.

Image a world, where we felt assured that our planet is resourceful and continues to regenerate and recycle and we are always safe.

As we in the coaching arena work on our own thoughts and re purpose them into those of positive expectation of ourselves and those of our clients we find new alignment with new thoughts of worthiness and well-being. This is where the true power of living a dynamic life is. This is where good-feeling thoughts live. This is where resistance of all kind is brought forward and stops holding us back. This is where all kinds of good-feelings, ideas, and possibilities start to flow. This is where both the coach and client smile in amusement as they discover that this world was always within their reach and now because we have laid struggle aside and picked up a life of ease it comes gushing out in abundance. New plans are explored with balance and self-mastery as the client begins a life of freedom and fulfillment.

New day awake

The alarm clock rings and a new day is here.  I wonder what will this day be like as I switch on the shower and climb in letting the water wake me up to the possibilities of a new day.  The steam from the hot water makes it way to a quote I have hung on the wall and it sways gently guiding my attention to the words.

Welcome to Planet Earth. There is nothing that you cannot be, or do, or have. You are a magnificent creator. – Abraham/Esther Hicks

As I slip into the shower the words come in too and I can feel them enter my body clearing away the accumulation of sticky stuff as the hot water, words, and soap is happily applied to my body with my hands.  The water thrums against the curtain with an hynotic beat  and a mantra starts up in my newly cleansed mind.  ”It’s a New Day”, “It’s a new day” and a little voice says, “Sandra what will you do today?

I really do have the power to choose I remember what Abraham said, “It’s as easy to create buttons as castles”.  So in my mind I create a future self that looks like a great upgrade of me.  she has on dark pants and a silk blouse and lives in a house that is surrounded by beautiful landscaping.  She is preparing for a trip to Europe to teach Law of Attraction and then a meeting with visionary leaders that are meeting to create plans for making earth a paradise on earth.

As I brush my teeth and look in the mirror I know the best is yet to come and I feel happy and expectant about the future.  Is this just a fantasy or is this a way to bring in a new desirable future?  Then the question do I live for the future or enjoy what is here in this now moment?

Knowledge brings joy, freedom, and empowerment and in my study of the Law of Attraction I know that it is possible to have everything if you are a match to the desired vibration of the thing you want.  This is the basis of the LOA or Law of Attraction.

I am passionate about teaching and learning everything about the great law of the Universe.  The Law of Attraction.

What is the Law: The law of attraction is the magnetic power of the universe that draws similar energies together.  The law of attraction manifests through our thoughts by drawing to us thoughts and ideas of a similar kind and people who think like us and situations and circumstances that are similar.  Positive and Negative thinking brings about positive and negative physical results.

The good news is that you can become a deliberate creator by learning some basic tools on how to attract what you want in life.

I am currently getting a certification in the Law of Attraction and am actively practicing the process in my daily life with amazing results.

New Day Awake holding intent to hold self in high vibration with source and desire reader does the same.  Bring forth expectation of both of us maintaining individual alignment of who we really are and that our relationship will be one of continual joyful expansion.

“Acrylic Abstract”

Daily Creative flow today was a flowing acrylic pour. I already have a lot of ideas for the next step. This way is sure fun. Tomorrow I will develop it further. I am quite excited to see what happens. The Painting is 16″x20″ on stretch canvas.

I showed my students this piece and explained how the technique was achieved and how there are four Daily Painters that I am associated with in the process of daily painting as way of developing creatively through creative self-discipline. This is not work but fun I explained to them and sharing it with others of like mind is like a trip to the candy store every day. To my absolute surprise two students said Sandra, “when I grow up I want to be just like you” I guess that says Creating all the time is a good life. and a good path to follow if it appeals to the youth of today. Art is truly the sweets of life.

“Draw Class”

Today’s Daily Painting is the “Draw Class” sponsored by the Portland Plein Air of Portland and taught by Kitty Wallis.  I feel more successful every class.  We are learning many exciting drawing techniques that are helpful for my drawing skills.

The Class is exploring the techniques  of Nicolas Carone using his text book “The Natural Way to Draw” and Nicholas Carone techniques through Kitty Wallis’s guidance.

Daily Painting to me is  about what’s going on in my world of art: daily paintings,  art, my process, and my thoughts about art in general.  I have a commitment with two other painters to email a daily painting by 9:00pm every day.  There are no rules and this creative penatration of daily painting has greatly inflenced  my daily life and art has started to grow in tremendous and unexpected ways.

Work. Keep digging your well.
Don’t think about getting off from work.
Water is there somewhere.
Submit to daily practice.
Your loyalty to that
Is a ring at the door.
Keep knocking, and the joy inside
Will eventually open a window
and look out to see who’s there.
- Rumi

Portland Plein Air and Studio Painters

Today I went to the Portland Plein Air and Studio Painters at Oconnel’s Restaurant in Portland.
The Portland Open Studios was discussed and one can still attend this weekend this event. I hope to go.
There was great talk about one of the groups visit to Italy. I have a goal to go to Italy one day and study art. It was so much fun to see the visual art and hear all about my favorite place Italy. from Italy! We all were able to view a two volume set of books about Wolf Kahn purchased on EBay.
Kitty also brought in her new eBay acquisition, a two volume set of books about Wolf
Kahn. Daily painting is a ongoing idea with me and there are two in the group that have taken a challenge to create a piece of art by 9pm each day and email it to each other. We were all invited to participate. This might be just what I need to get going on the daily painting again.
We also talked about how to avoid the Winter Blues by seeking our place in the Sun. Made me think about the mural I painted for a business in Vancouver who wanted Sunny beautiful places on her walls.

Painting Day at Kruger’s Farm

Today I went to Kruger’s Farm on Sauvie’s Island with my Saturday Afternoon Plein Air Class with Jef Gunn.  It was a perfect fall day with fall colors, pumpkins, corn maze, and fellow artists  I do love my Saturday Afternoons.

We discussed composition techniques of Cezanne.  I found this freeing to move reality around in the natural setting on my canvas.

“Brother Rod”

I painted my Brother Rodney Victor  today when he was a young man and as a baby.  He is a wonderful family man and has accomplished many things in his life professionally, and spiritually.   It was fun painting him and brought back many memories of our lives growing up.  The painting was done for the Art House Coop Sketch Book Project.
