How to Believe on Demand

Do you know what you want to experience in the future?

How sure are you on the scale of 1 to 10 that it will come true?

Is it hard to believe that nice things that you want will happen to you?

I know where you are. Been there, done that, and bought a bunch T-shirts.

For a very long time, I could not understand how people can believe something on demand.

I could believe what seemed believable and only hope what seemed less believable even on a good day.

But even the Bible seemed to suggest that we can ask for what we want and receive it IF WE BELIEVE IT (Mt. 8, 5-13; Lk 18, 1-8; Jm 13-18 etc.).

Not to speak about all the Law of Attraction teachings.

In the 40 years of my spiritual quest, I had come far, even experienced more than one personal Christ revelation, but believing that I will experience what I want was still a closed chest.

And then, it just sprung open: a friend mentioned Neville Goddard, I googled him, started reading, and BAM! I knew how to believe and consciously create my future!

It turned out believing is FEELING as if the desire HAS BEEN FULFILLED already.
And there is no doubt I can do that. :)

Now, I am enjoying consciously creating all kinds of experiences for myself and others more and more easily and naturally.

And having so much fun with it!

And helping others to learn that, too!

I have created two Facebook groups for that: Success Without Stress With Rita JC and Optimal Health With Rita JC .

Feel free to join us according to what you want to change now: you financial situation or your health.

Doorway To Destiny

Lauren C. Gorgo writes in her latest 5D report:

"If you are approaching this life-altering portal with nothing but your authentic Self in tow, then you are ready to open to everything that your soul Self desires to create and experience in this new world we are being born into.  If you have been reduced to your lowest common denominator, purified to the perfection of your own LOVE, then you are readying to turn inside out…to bring your LOVE on the road, and share it with the world.

Don’t worry if you have no idea what that looks like…in fact, that’s your best case scenario.  This gateway requires an enormous amount of trust but it isn’t something that you, or I, or any of us can screw up. There is nothing left to do but stand in the utmost faith of our higher power.  The watered down truth is that we are emerging in a reality where our LOVE leads, where our divinity guides, where our purified resonance rules.  What this will look like may seem unimaginable in this moment, but the truth is that on the highest level we have already created it. Now we get to experience it in form."

And it really resonates with the feeling I have about this time. How about you?

We Are Born Again

Today, I received a newsletter from Lauren Gorgo with the link to her new 5D report, a really heartening one.

It looks like the seemingly never ending time of purging and morphing (at times - very painfully) could be over. *pheeeeew*

"...as our personal hologram begins to morph to reflect our true nature, we are simultaneously reconnecting with our cosmic creator power…remembering how to manage our balancing male-female forces with aplomb.  And as we begin to work more directly with the universal forces that are offered freely to those of pure heart & mind, the divine mechanism for creation activates in our DNA and we are able to enact our soul plans with perfection, quickly and effectively able to accomplish the impossible…to the extent that our well-honed capabilities will literally seem like magic to those around us."

And this is exactly, what I have started to experience partially since January already. And it seems like magic even to myself. :)

How about you? Has anything changed in the way you move in this world lately?

My Creative Space - Another Pretty Busy Week :)

Another pretty busy week is over. Time just flies!
As promised: some new spreads from my art journal

 Just a background so far

"Love bears everything" (the images just appeared again)

Devoted to my oldest son and his fiance

 "Beauty is often found, where it isn't searched for" (the beautiful spirit just popped up from the page)

My first encaustic experiment: a hot mess covered with melted wax

Finished a fairy tree for a new FB friend-artist in the US.
Started a pair of knitted socks for another artist-friend in the UK.

But mostly, was busy preparing and conducting workshops for kids and helping my own kids with their school works.

My Creative Space - A Busy Week

This week was pretty busy for me: My body was fighting a virus, I had to prepare and conduct 3 workshops and was hosting this challenge. Some aftereffects of the virus are still there and I'm still tired from the workshops, but really happy they went well and are over already :) The first challenge entries are here and I hope there will be some more.
I managed to art every day, too. There are some new sketches in my sketch book and some new spreads in my art journal as well as some new angels and new colorful paper sheets. Have blogged about a couple of them already here and here. Can show you only one new angel for now, as I haven't shot pictures of them earlier and now it's pit dark here already. This angel just emerged on a page I had spread some acrylic paint over. It was such a miracle! I had only to outline the image and to give him/her some hallow.

There are some more images that showed up on my sheets that way, what makes me feel so happy and grateful! You'll meet them next time, promise ;)

My Creative Space - Art Journalig and Beaded Butterfly

Last week was pretty productive for me: finished and delivered 2 pretty big translations, filled the last full spread in my first art journal inspired by the e-course by Effy Wild, started a new art journal, beaded a butterfly, made a mixed media piece with a candle, painted a couple of sheets of paper and did at least one sketch every day.

 Devoted to my daughter

Wording: Autumn. RitaJC a Latvian

And, no, you don't want to see my crappy sketches! :)

My Creative Space - Mixed Media

This week, I was working like mad: mostly, at some more translations, at my workshop, that nobody attended to (feeling relieved actually :), and at the school starting on the 1st of September here.

To keep me sane, I was arting now and than though. Not for long, but a bit every day again and again to reactivate my right hemisphere and to relax. So a couple of lovely faces showed up and I'm really really happy they did.

The goddess of patience and perseverance inspired by the last (buhuhuh!) lesson at The Elements Of Art Journaling by Effy Wild

And a girl astound by some "Snow in July"

If you are on FB, you can see some of the stages of this piece here


And there are loads of new really crappy sketches in my sketch book. I really embrace the suckage, as to suck, but not to stop is the only way to improve, but, no, you can't see them here! And don't ask! Period! :)

My Creative Space

This week was even less creative, as I had to deliver a pretty challenging translation on Monday night and to restart listing new items in my Etsy shops. Managed to list a couple of new flower brooches and to sell some.

Painted my second Fire spread for the e-course "The Elements of Art Journaling" by Effy Wild.

Started a new scetchbook for the 75 Day Sketch Challenge by Brenda Swenson.

Most of the time, I'm preparing for my first mixed media/art journaling workshop. A bit nervous being a novice in it myself, but I can't wait to start sharing, what I have learned in Wild Precious Studio in the last 6 weeks. Got loads of new supplies for it and even managed to make my first 3 alcohol ink and acrylic sprays.

My Creative Space - Not a Very Creative Week

This weeks was not very creative for me: much energy left in the town with my workshop, dentist and shopping with my kids for school starting soon.

Just a quick play with baubles for the prompt "Circles" by Effy Wild

One A3 piece started and finished

A spread in my art journal devoted to the fire of hatred burning all over the world

And something new emerging out of recycled gift wrap papers

My Creative Space - Mixed Media on Paper

A week is over again, and it's time to show you, what's going on in my creative space. What can I say? It was a very creative week, and I'm still re-discovering paper and the many fun ways to create on it and with it! The results?


Another Water spread at "The Elements of Art Journaling" by Effy Wild - my first almost only in acrylics!

A lily in oil pastels for the

Illustration Friday theme "Obsession"

A sketch for the

August Sketchbook Challenge theme "Everyday Objects"

Two mixed media pieces for the

Being Creative July theme "Summer"

A small one

and an A3 one

(Especially happy, how this turned out! :)

Now, I'm at a very meditative stage with this mixed media piece, slowly emerging out of loads of different impulses

I'm happy with all this, still having one big issue though: new impulses from all sides seem to swap me in a effervescent ocean of inspiration without any shores and islands. Thank goodness, the challenges have got deadlines! But often I'm too late to participate. For now, it's really hard for me to surface from the swirls and streams of ideas and get to the actual creating. Any suggestions?

My Creative Space - Painting

Thanks to the generosity of Effy Wild I'm participating in her splendid e-course "The Elements of Art Journaling". I have already blogged about it here, here and here. Now we have got 2 weeks devoted to water and can sit in with our emotions and allow them to transform. This would be my first result of this process.

 Another one is staring to emerge.

Actually, Effy's e-course is having an incredibly deep impact on my life and artist's path. I've started to live out my biggest dream: to speak to people through my art. I must have adopted the negative attitude towards being an artist of the society I grew up in, that I even didn't realize I still have this dream (after all those decades!). Until Effy (and the incredible Maisy!) encouraged me to just start using paper, paints and brushes again and to try out many supplies and techniques unknown to me until now! And I really feel like I'm starting to become a part of the magnificent family of female artists. *happy sob*
Now I'm arting every day and can't imagine, how I could survive all those years without it. This tribute to the life and death of Amy Winehouse is one of the images emerging out of my fresh adventures with simple and cheap painting supplies.

My creative space - Air

As some of you know, I'm participating in the e-course The Elements of Art Journaling by Effy Wild. And I'm feeling terrific! Effy and the whole e-course family is so loving and supporting in spite of tough times some of us are going through right now!

Here you can see the spreads I worked (and am still working) at this week devoted to Air. Would you like to see my attempts from the first two weeks? I blogged about them here and here. Keen to see at least some spreads of other participants? Our groups at Wild Precious Studio and Facebook are closed, but you can go to our Flickr group and be inspired! Can you believe, it is created by "ordinary chicks" of all ages? If I wouldn't be one of them, I couldn't! But now I just soak in this flow of love and creativity and adventure!
The only hassle is to stop arting to do anything else! Believe me, being a freelancer and a single mom of 2 teens and 2 cats, there would be loads to do every day. Have reduced it to the absolute minimum for these 6 weeks. Thank goodness, my babies don't mind :)!
And actually there is one more headache for me: the lack of art supplies! Effy and the other Wild Precious chicks are sharing so many creative ideas I'd love to try out right away, but you can't do it with thin air! Hoping to get some new stuff to play with next Monday, when I'll be in town (could you, please, cross something for me, so it isn't hell-ish expensive?).

My Creative Space - Earth

These are my first ever art journal pages devoted to Earth, the first element we are working with on the e-course "Elements of art Journaling" by Effy Wild. Feeling like on an intense spiritual retreat there! Love the way Effy is leading us and all the loving and inspiring community!

Being Creative - Ocean

Thanks to Julia and her Being Creative project, I've tried something new again: water colors together with wool. And I love the result (sorry for the bad image)! It's pretty fragile though. Need some fixing spray. Any ideas?

My Creative Space - Knitted Triangular Cotton Shawl

My little sister just got her second Master. She wanted a red knitted triangular shawl as a graduation present. I started it and was pretty happy, how it turned out. But now it has to wait, until I finish the custom silk blouse.

My Last Minute Challenge Entry - The Gothic Picnic

This is my entry to the EST challenge Picnic hosted by Star of the East: The Gothic Picnic - crochet coasters/face scrubbies made of  super soft cotton+bamboo yarn.

 

There are loads of creative challenges on the web now. And I love to participate and to try out something new for each of them. But my entries are mostly made almost in the last minute. And this one isn't an exception :) But there are still a couple of hours left. How about you make something and do your entry, too?

My Creative Space - Knitting with Natural Silk

I'm working at a knitted blouse and feeling very privileged: it's a custom order for a friend and my first time with natural hand died mulberry silk.

Love this game! Every week I find creative people and inspiring blogs there! Just subscribed to the Being Creative project on Julia's blog and my daughter wants to participate, too! How about you?

Way-Back-Whensday

Looking back isn't actually my thing, but a lovely girl has started a  new blog feature and yours truly loves to try something new :) So here I am looking back at the beginning of my on-line handmade affair.

My first on-line shop was opened as soon, as I had learned the first bead weaving stitch and finished my first peaces of beadwoven jewelry. This pair of earring was the first to find a new home in Netherlands after 2 months in spite of the dark picture and the clumsy description :)

 

By the way: brick stitch and rustic stone beads are still my favorites :)

My Creative Space - New Supplies

Today is a very happy day for me: loads of new supplies arrived!

This mulberry silk yarn hand dyed by a friend in the UK is for a knitted blouse custom ordered by a friend in Russia. :)

My Creative Space - Crocheting with Cotton Yarn

 As most of you know, I'm a passionate nature lover and like to work with organic materials the most. So I'm happy it's summer and the right time to wear cotton. 

This is my entry to this challenge: my first crocheted tam, chunky and large but airy, the right summery cover for long hair or dread locks.
