… and the fun will follow! Oh, and maybe the money too :)
I haven’t written in a while, but need to take some time to give you all an update on what’s going on in my life. I am having so much FUN, and it all happened quite by accident while I’ve been on my self-imposed sabbatical.
In May I signed up for a clay workshop with a local artist, Justine Ferreri of Creations by Justine. We made table top fountains — check out the pictures! Mine is constructed of earthenware clay formed into two shells, with a mermaid perched on top, like she’s getting ready to swim down into the shell below. It is so cool, and it works! It bubbles away in my bathroom when I’m relaxing with a well earned glass of wine, soft music and a hot bubble bath at the end of any day I choose. It’s a delicious indulgence that I highly recommend. Anyway, back to the point of this blog ….
While my mermaid may look a bit like Michael Phelps in feminine sea-creature drag (no offense to Michael, just to my elementary-level sculpting skills), it was so much fun to form, sculpt, fire, glaze and assemble my first clay creation, I can barely put it into words. The entire process was healing as I molded the clay, formed the body, glazed and experienced the color changes once my work was fired in the kiln. Since this first class, I’ve also made an elephant tea pot, complete with six mugs that someone actually wanted to purchase — LOL! What’s more, during this experience, I have built my ordained group exponentially. I’ve met new men and women who live and work nearby, others who are on their own journey and maybe just passing through, and I have a new “soul-sister”, Justine, the Goddess Empress of Clay, owner of the Gallery and Studio — and am now WORKING for her!
That’s right … the Blue Woman is working. I guess that puts me a bit off my sabbatical plan, but not really since I’m consulting and working my own hours from here, there and everywhere — and I still get to go to the beach whenever I want to, and whenever it is not raining. The Blue Woman Fifth Chakra Healing Project has been an entire process for clarity, truth, speaking with my own voice (fifth chakra stuff), experiencing wellness and doing something I really truly love. Working with Justine, allows me to help a female business owner, best of all, an artist … yahoo! I am creating, laughing, singing show tunes, because Justine is a show tune buff and meeting new people everyday.
Opportunity continues to knock on the door of the Blue Woman. The owner of the building that Justine’s gallery is in has approached me about building their website, I’ve been asked to do a painting for a non-profit auction and I will be joining a creative partnership group the end of the month. WOW! I’m going with the flow, opening myself to the world, to the Sacred and to others. Join me.
What do you love to do? Are you living your purpose, your message? Let me encourage you, live on purpose. Live out loud.
Namaste loved ones. — The Blue Woman
