Weekly Intention: Care

Care: Self care, Health care, Caring for others, Taking care, carefree... Care is my intention this week. Where am I going with that, I have only to see where this week guides me.

Last night inspired by both Jamie Ridler and her newsprint planner pad and Andrea Schroeder 's weekly intention. I wrote out my weekly goals. I consider them a guideline for the week like a gentle suggestion to keep focus and on track. I also made a big list of my March monthly goals I wrote it out from what I put in my art journal for March. It is my birthday month so these goals are very special to me and again a gentle suggestion of where I'd like to keep my focus. Along with these lists I keep a calendar with me at all times and on the Monday I write in my weekly intention. It really helps me keep clear on what my intention is, definitely a detourent from distractions. I also like to write in my monthly goals also to keep them with me. If I carry them and glance at them every now and then it refreshes my mind on where I am. I had a terrific February and I'd like to say keeping this weekly ritual of weekly intention setting has been a great reason for it. It really starts my week off on a positive note. I look forward to my Monday mornings and seeing how my week begins. Thank you so much Andrea Schroeder for this. I am hoping I will be enrolling in your Creative Dream Incubator ecourse it's okay that I didn't win the Universe intended Meg to win and congrats to her, I'm making my jealousy work for me. Thanks again to the women who inspire me and I hope we all have a great week filled with love, kindness and caring.

Weekly Intention: Growth!!

Growth: is my intention this week, so much possibility in growth; personal, creative, physical, professional, financial and spiritual. Maybe it's all of them maybe only one. Only experiencing this week will let me know for sure. After 2 great weeks in a row I am looking forward to making it a third. Being open to the possibilities and opportunities this week will bring I welcome growth into my week. Thank you Andrea at ABCcreativity for my intention setting meditation and weekly reminder.

I also want to put this out there into the universe. There are 2 eclasses I want to participate in and I am trying to work them into my budget. The 1st one is Creative Dream Incubator by Andrea at ABC creativity and the 2nd one is Wish Big ECamp both are exactly what I am needing right now and both start in March and would be great Bday presents. I am hoping I can win a spot in the Creative Dream Incubator as she is having a contest thru Roots of She Giveaway I hope I win! Have a great week everyone and here is to all of us being open to receive what we need this week.

Week in Review

                                                 The Power to be Me and Daring to be Me!

The week started off great with my weekly intention word being Power and I interpreted that to mean the Power to be me. I participate with Andrea at ABC creativity setting a weekly intention and this one was really terrific. I sat and had tea and did her meditation, went through my calendar for the week and set my day and week to the word Power. I also participate in Wishcasting Wednesday's with Jamie Ridler and her prompt was What do you dare? I dared to be me and it fit so well with my weekly intention. These things help set and pace my week. They kept me in a mind set to really use my power to go out there and do the things I needed to do. I set a goal of making 3 connections this week and surpassed that goal and made about 10. I passed out Avon books at the mall and in my neighborhood. I took an order from someone who I had just given a book to the day before. I got a new client for my cleaning business after I raised my hourly rate. I told 8 people that I photograph weddings and those same people I am also a travel agent. I joined a scrapbooking group attended an Avon division meeting and obtained 3 contacts for my business. Everyday I felt confident and happy about my financial situation. Things can change when you decide to change you. It wasn't all about business this week it was about getting out of my comfort zone and meeting new people and to make new friends. It was about getting myself out and showing who I really am showing that I am me. It was about taking time to read take a bubble bath enjoy my morning tea and quiet time. Making and sticking to a morning ritual that includes morning pages. Thanks Kimberly Wilson because without you I would have not found The Artists Way   it changed my life. It was a great week and I'm looking forward to another great week to come. I am beyond grateful for my online mentors and my friends and family who influence me in ways they don't even know.

Weekly Intention: Power

Practice by Yolanda Alejandre

Power, my weekly intention. Power to be me and do what I need to do in order to be the best me I can be. Power to start living my life fully. Power that I have without fear to see where it takes me. Power.

Thank you Andrea at ABC creativity for the prompt. I look forward to it each week. May all of our weeks give us what we need.

Weekly Intention: Get on with it!

Thank you, Andrea @ ABCcreativity for the prompt, if there was ever a week I needed a an intention it is this one. www.abccreativity.com

My intention is to get off my ass and just get on with it already. Stop sleeping in everyday and wasting so much time putzing around and doing nothing or filling my day with housework and errands and stuff that really doesn't need to be done or can wait to be done but is being used as an avoidance to get to the stuff I really need to get to. I have time and can work on my blog, my photography, my journal, exercise, yoga and meditation instead of filler. I have my list of what I'd like to accomplish this fall so my weekly intention is GET ON with IT!

Thanks again Andrea.

Weekly Intention: Work thru it!

Thank you Andrea for the prompt, It came quick and easy this morning the intention was right there. Fears and doubts were seeping in and starting to make me think I'll just stay home I'll just not do it or go to it so then it came loud and clear Work thru it! Thank you again Andrea ABC Creativity

What do I need this week? Weekly Intention

Weekly Intention: Patience

I spend 2 days last week with my son in NYC. It was his 1st time and my 4th. I loved it but I am still beat it was hot humid and tons of walking. I have yet to post in my other blog http://refusetodressmyage.blogspot.com about my shopping because I'm still recovering from more walking in 2 days than in my entire lifetime or at least it feels like it. So Patience.

Last week it was Do Quietly, still not sure what that meant expect way less tweeting and facebooking and phone calls as my phone died and I forgot my charger in NYC. So I am going with more time spent one on one with my son and enjoying all the museums. It was very nice not checking my phone for about 36hrs so maybe that is my lesson learned put the phone down. WoW it takes writing this to learn. That is why I blog.

This week is Patience, I will try hard as I don't have much.

Thanks Andrea for the prompt. ABC Creativity .
