What songs do you have?

Fuck Meow. Feelin’ Sassy…

If you listen to this song, don’t waste your time just hearing it with your ears.  Drop into your heart.  Feel alive.

 

This one.  It’s hot.

 

I just found this band tonight. One of their songs is on the soundtrack to, “Hi, My Name is Doris,” with Sally Field. Awesome movie, about getting out of your own world and taking a leap of faith.  Never know where you’ll land.

One for the road here… feel. Feel.  Feel.  Then move your hands. Move your body. Let what comes, come.  Let it come out of you.

Macy Gray Three Play Get in the Mood

I don’t like cover songs usually, unless they just feel really good.  This is the case for Macy Gray’s remake of Sail by Awolnation.

 

Music always sets the mood for whatever you’re doing, or can change your mood if you feel like shit or want to create something with a specific feel. This song by Gray was on someone’s video tutorial, and I love it!  Upbeat and feelin’ good.

 

I’ve never really listened to Macy Gray all that much, but I like to get inspiration from everywhere…

What craft or art project are you working on?  Get in the mood,tell me what you’re working on.

Mosaic Bird Bath

It’s spring time!  This is a project I intend to do.

But I really like the directions on this website, so I’ll probably combine these two ideas and make my own.

Are you in control of what you think?

Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.
– Jim Morrison, The Doors

When something dramatic happens in your life

Whenever you’re up against something that scares you, just know you have what it takes.  Sometimes life just pushes us in ways that feel cruel and wrong, but trust it. Trust yourself. Let it strengthen you. Get your personal power from it.

Sometimes you just gotta be drop-kicked out of the nest.

Robert Downey, Jr.

Creativity helps you take off the mask

When you find the courage to take off the mask, you get a little more of your personal power back.  Creativity helps you find that freedom.

The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are.
You trade in your reality for a role.
You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange,
put on a mask.
– Jim Morrison

Prince’s Message – Individuality + Unity

Creativity, whether music, writing, acting, arting, building, dancing, etc,… they draw you inward to see the truth about life. Many artists, as they get older, start to see that we can be both authentic and unified… creativity helps you solve all kinds of problems in life. A short minute long tribute.  R.I.P.

Bob Ross Remixed… hits the feels

I love this.  It makes me feel better and forget some of the anxieties…

Laugh at the hard stuffs to shake it up a little

Mindset is the difference between surviving and thriving. It’s not always easy to shift it, but it is always possible to shift it. Have a little humor while pondering these quotes.

“When an instrument fails on stage it mocks you and must be destroyed!”
― Trent Reznor

“In the end we’re all Jerry Springer Show guests, really, we just haven’t been on the show.”
― Marilyn Manson

The world today doesn’t make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?
