Manifesting with Treasure Mapping

I was born a visual person. I started making Treasure Maps when I was very young. It started out as collaging the covers of my school books and notebooks. Then I started making collages on poster boards and on any surface I could come up with to use as my canvas - including my closet doors. I have made collage tables, too and ordered glass to fit to cover. I have sold a few of my large canvas collages and have held on to my favorites. I might start selling some of my smaller collages (8×10’s & 11×14’s) on Etsy soon. I have to allot the time to that project now that I have started my account with them.

In the mean time I am thinking about my future, and manifesting those things which I am most passionate about into my life…I’m using a bulletin board right now, so that as my focus changes, I can change my board, which will hang next to my computer station in my office. Focus is really important for me right now, redirection of purpose. I am working on being and remaining open to the paths before me.

I Have the Keys, Now Where is the Door?

I have always believed that we are divinely led to our heart’s desires if we want it badly enough, and have the necessary faith to go forth to find the path that leads us to our ultimate, highest good. I believe, though, too, that it’s easy to be diverted, sidetracked, to get lost and to just simply FORGET that we have the power to make things happen…I am standing in the hallway, I have the keys, now I have to set about trying the different doors to find out which one will be opened by the keys I am holding…

I get frustrated on this path at times, since I am, afterall, human….but I come back around and re-focus…This is where I am right now. I KNOW where I want to go in this life (most of the time) on this journey. I know what lights my soul on passionate fire and what makes me wide-eyed and giddy with anticipation to sink my heart, soul and bones into a project or job with open-hearted joy….

At times, I feel frustrated also that I am seemingly, constantly on some pursuit of some dream job (to do with photography, graphic arts, creativity, to allow me to work from home, etc.) and someone told me that I am unable to just “settle” down into any kind of “normal” routine, because if it’s not what I really want, I almost immediately dismiss it as nothing I will really put my entire being into. I have to say that person making that observation was…partly correct in his observation…I DO give up on things that aren’t “really” what I want, and maybe only pursue it half-heartedly, at times begrudgingly…So, by addressing what I DO want, and focusing on the good of what I DO have, I can further carry myself down this hallway, trying the other doors….

On the Daily Grind, Be Sure to Drink Good Coffee...

Breaking the cycle of what some call the daily grind can be something of a challenge. I find when I start becoming over-tired, forgetful, bitchy and just in general lethargic, I’m either trying to adjust to the oncoming hibernation season and/or feeling stuck in a routine, that - even while paying the bills -can become a chain of tiring to’s and fro’s, hurry up here’s, hurry up there’s, all while rapidly flailing about like so many first-timers on ice skates towards old age and “retirement” where, trust me, by the time we all reach “retirement”, we’ll be too darn old and worn out to really enjoy it. It’s one of my biggest fears….I’ve decided that I want to take my retirement NOW and get back to a job later…Anybody with me on that???

My new job working with these seniors these past two months has really put a different spin on things for me….

One of the things I keep thinking of is my Life Goals List…I don’t have that many things on there, a good 25- 30 things, perhaps…but they are all what I have deemed worthwhile goals, and even though I COULD come up easily with another 100+ goals of things to do in my lifetime, this list is the real meat and bones - not to mention spirirt of who I really am. I’ll share my Goals List soon….

So, I’m thinking about the paths we choose to take and how some people really DO make incredible things happen in their lives by the sheer force of their will, and of course beating the pavement, picking up rocks, and talking to everyone about your dream that will…I want to be one of those people. I want to move forward on these things that I have wanted to make really happen since I can remember. What has been holding me back? Regardless of any stumbling or avoidance techniques I may have ever used in the past, I’m determined to move forward in the realms of my dreams….

What are some things YOU must do in your life time? What goals really are the meat, bones and SPIRIT of you??? I wish we could sit together with a yummy treat & a good coffee to talk about it….
