A Cool Job

Hi again!

I'm here to tell you, that, for now, I have a job that I'm really happy with. I'm transcribing audio files for GP Walsh, the "Irreverent Sage", as he calls himself.

Our "story" started in August 2013, when I was spiraling down into deep depression. I was seeking for spiritual remedies all over the internet and stumbled upon G and his home study course "Just Allow It".

It wasn't expensive at all. In fact, for that amount of content, it was almost free. But in my tough material situation, I had to scratch together all my reserves to pay for it.

And I haven't had the slightest regrets that I did. The course was wonderful with all the explanations and meditations!

It evoke in me the answers to my deepest burning questions, that none of the previous teachings had been able to. (And believe me, I have heard quite a load of them in the 40 years of seeking for the Truth.)

And as I saw G speaking and teaching in those videos and found some more information about him on the internet, I recognized, that that was exactly the way I had longed to live and to teach for all my life.

Since that time, we have stayed in contact, mostly - through e-mails. And G has gifted me with all his courses, that I longed to attend, but couldn't afford.

On one of those calls last summer, G literally saved my life with how he answered my question: Why not just quit it all if I feel like a mere burden to the world and everybody around me?

And how he used EFT to manifest a profound change in the way my body felt at that darkest moment of depression.

G has gifted me all his courses excerpt for the most profound, large course, that could possibly lead to my certification as a Inner Reconciliation facilitator, that I am really longing to be.

And, now, I get to transcribe all the calls from the last years certification course! How cool is that?!!! And G has even posted on Facebook, that I work for his Master Heart Institute.

Now, I'd love to know how your work life is going. Would you share a couple of lines about that in the comments, please?

Learning

Last weeks have been a period of intense online learning for me. Most of the classes were for free, and not all of them gave me much. But some were real treasuries!

The courses I enjoy the most are "Awakening Your Unique Self" with Marc Gafni, the UPROAR with Christina Morassi (a summit actually :) and Introduction to Art: Concepts & Techniques.

Most of my Facebook friends have seen some of my works for the last one, but here they are all together: my exercises for the weeks 1 and 2.

Week 3 starts tomorrow! :)

(sorry for the strange allignment! blogger is killing me grrrrr!)

Awakening Your Unique Self with Dr. Marc Gafni

I spent my last week end with the mini-course Awakening Your Unique Self with Dr. Marc Gafni. Just what I needed right now! Enrolled into the full 10 week course right away. The unthinkable current price means they are practically giving it away for now :) Would this be something for you as well? I hope to see you there.

Namaste

My Creative Space

For the last week, I have been really busy, not with work for money, although the school break is over and I've had 3 classes and a meeting already. I have spent much time and energy arting: 3 mixed media paintings are finished or very close to it, 3 are in the works, 4 more papier-mache apples are covered with freshly made gesso, and their boxes - sanded. As days are extremely short and dark here in the North right now, and I still don't have a card reader for the new photo camera, I'll not bother you with big blurry images. I hope, you can get an impression from this mosaic.

Most of my time, I have spent in online artistic communities though.

First and foremost, with the more than 150 extremely talented ladies dedicated to create A Piece A Week in 2013.

Then, I have signed up for the year long LifeBook 2013 e-course, more for the community than for the classes. If I really follow the instructions, I mostly highly dislike not only the results, but even the process and feel like trying to walk in someone else's shoes. (Or is it just the disturbing feeling of stepping out of the comfort zone?) Besides, I rarely have the suggested supplies. But I love those teachers and cherish the great community and atmosphere around them. So, for now, I honestly try to create something for the assignments, and spend much time in the respective Facebook group with almost 900(!) members.

And then, there is a F.R.E.E. e-course, that feels like tailor made for me: Create Art Portfolio Ideas with Milliande. It is all about discovering our own creative style and moving intuitively. Sice the art classes at school, I have experienced it: the more given program, the less my creativity flows. The first raw sketchbook assignment was posted yesterday, and I had some real blast playing today! Even my daughter asked for a sheet of paper to participate :)

There could be about 10 more artistic online groups I'm participating in, but let's leave something for another time, OK?

And now, you know, what comes, don't you? :) It's like the quick sentence at the end of many commercials :) To see more creative spaces visit this site and be inspired!

My Creative Space - Painting, painting, painting...

This is the last week with the Bloom True e-course with Flora Bowley. This course has allowed me to make new artist friends and released a huge artistic potential in me. So I have painted a lot this week. These two small paintings could be finished. 

Another large painting is next to finished.

These are the fazes it went through during the process.

All of the smaller paintings have gotten a couple of new layers.


And to improve my portrait painting skills, I have started the first painting in the next e-course: "A Diary of Faces" with Sharon Tomlinson :)

My days

The last couple of days, I have spent mostly at our PC working at a large translation I have to deliver on June 20. But I still took care for my kids and animals, and even managed to do some gardening and art now and than.


Our new family member - the dog girl Lesa - is settling in fast and well. Even our cat lady is adjusting pretty easy, although she still attacks her at least once every day. Lesa has developed a special love for my daughter Anna, who loves her very much as well.

As to the arting, I haven't done much, just continued working at the last portrait for a couple of short sessions every day. At some point I didn't like the features of the face, so I covered it almost completely and started out fresh and brave. Like them much more now.

One more great news: the " Bloom True" e-course with Flora Bowley has started today and I even managed to do today's exercises! :)


And a sad one: the artist Peter Sewell has lost his battle with cancer last Tuesday... I haven't met this nice man in person, but we had good contact via Facebook, and I will really miss him and his witty expressions...

My Creative Space

For the last couple of weeks I have concentrated on assignments in a couple of new art e-courses and the swaps I'm participating in. So there is nothing new in my art journal. Honestly speaking, I have never been a real journaler, but it was a great new experience. For now, I really don't like to art in any kind of books and feel much more organic with separate sheets.


So here are some of them:


- Letter Love 101 with Joanne Sharpe

- a fairy face in graphite with Suzi Blu

- and a work of a whole week and still in progress: a portrait on a collaged background with Jane DesRosier
