Here and Now!

Sharing my Blog from one year ago today! I still believe it is the best way to approach our daily life. I also read another great quote that adds to this concept, especially if we find ourselves worrying about life.

“Remember, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday”. ~Dale Carnegie

Quote by James Dean:
“Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today.”
Living in the moment is really the best way to go about life. It’s all we really have control of, we can’t change the past and we can’t predict the future. Of course we can dream, make plans, have goals, take action and hope for a beautiful life. In the meantime we need to realize that life is impermanent, we don’t know how much time we have left, we need to be grateful right now, in the Here and Now and enjoy life to the fullest.
The Buddhist way of life teaches us to be mindful of each moment in all that we do whether it is eating, walking, talking, thinking, meditating, etc. We need to be in the moment focused on pursuing our dreams wholeheartedly. While we are mindful that life is impermanent…

A few notes about these new paintings…….when my old laptop computer lost it’s mojo a few weeks ago, I decided it was time to purchase a new one. I love my new laptop which has a touch screen and allows me to create digital paintings with my stylus pens. I have been creating digital art for years, but this is a new method that allows me to draw directly on the screen. It is so much fun, but a bit frustrating attempting to learn all the programs and techniques.  The above paintings are only the beginning of a new series of original digital art! Stay tuned for new paintings to come this summer.

Prints are available to purchase on Fine Art America.

Weekly 7 ~ Zen Daily Words ~These are my Zen Daily Words for the 29th week of 2019.  I can’t believe we are past the halfway point of 2019 already!  I like to keep track of how many days I have lived, as of today it has been 24,161 days! (Click on this link to find out how many days you have lived so far.) https://www.countcalculate.com/calendar/days-lived

Every morning I have a ritual of writing out a daily word and a few interpretations of the word that represent my intentions for the day ahead.

I have been doing this daily word exercise for a few years. It has been fun to sort them by date and read them on a monthly basis. It gives me an overview of my mood and intentions that were carried out for the month. I share this in hopes that you may be inspired to create your own daily rituals that will enhance your mood and mindset for the day. I hope you have a wonderful week ahead, make your dreams come true one day at a time!

Beauty of your dreams……

I still believe in the Beauty of my Dreams one year later!

Mars's avatarMARS ZEN Creations & ZEN Daily Words & MARS Mindful Moments

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” ~Eleanor Roosevelt

I was so delighted when I turned to this page in my dream book this morning! This is another one of my most favorite quotes by a brilliant and well respected woman – Eleanor Roosevelt. I remember reading this quote several years ago and it touched something in my heart.  At that time I was dreaming and searching for a new path, and it was one of the catalysts that inspired a new sense of direction and momentum in my life. At the time when I read this quote I was living in Portland Oregon, and dreaming about my future and the possibility of opening up my own art gallery and gift store. When I read this quote it helped me to focus and find the strength to believe that one day my dream…

Vortex of Confusion?

Even though I posted this blog one year ago, it feels very familiar to my current life today, both personally and politically. Time to use my “GPS – Gratitude, Purpose, Soul” System to reroute my life in the right direction!

Mars's avatarMARS ZEN Creations & ZEN Daily Words & MARS Mindful Moments

 

Have you ever felt like your thoughts were in a VORTEX of Confusion, when you have too many choices and decisions to make? Lately I have been experiencing this lack of clarity with this Vortex Foggy mindset. I guess I have created this scenario myself, caused by allowing too much going on, and too much information coming in, with not enough ZEN TIME to search my heart and soul for answers. 

Today I have found my Zen Source of Clarity once again, by slowing down the incoming mind traffic, and listening to the Universe. The small voice inside my soul has directed me on the right path now. Before it seemed as if there were too many curves in the road, and I was getting dazed and confused. My internal GPS needed a reboot! I like to think of my internal GPS as my gratitude, purpose, and soul…
