Create your life as if it were a work of art

I imagine life as a journey through time, that each moment is a gift. People, places and circumstances change around us.  We make choices that will help to create the life we experience. When I create my art, I try to make each stroke as close to my heart as possible. Every choice I make…

Karen Renna - Well let’s see if this time my comment works. Last one I typed did not fly. So patterns are essential to building ones life. Early morning is generally when I say my prayers setting up the focus of being of service to my self and other s for the day. My prayers open me up sprititually, mentally and creatively to go forward in the best way possible. Night time is when I try to reflect on what was successful and what was not. Then I try to reevaluate so that I can change what did not work. This applies to family friends and students and my own art work.

Karen Renna - I too love the early morning. That is when I say my prayers. They are my key to unlocking my better side both spritiually and mentally. the creative of course comes right after that. Other wise I am not as patterned or organized as I would like to be. Each day though I am more practiced at striving to do it and I find that I have been much more productive this year than other years. I just finished two small paintings that I began last year. I am not any closer to getting my studio set up. This has been a harsh winter on many levels but I have not stopped the planning or the organizing for the studio. So patterns and habits are essential as long as we continue to assess their validity to our current life situations.

admin - Nina, it is amazing that this phenomena happens just like this on a daily basis, and it never gets old ! Any ideas about organizing your life , especially in a new environmwnt? Any discoveries, lately?
