Happy Birthday to me! I had a lovely zoom call with family this morning, then a delightful dinner at a local restaurant with friends. Scrumptious food, divine desserts!
Also manifested some of the money I owed to someone for a long time, and was able to pay more than half. Yay!
No new creations today, just sharing these birthday photos. EnJoy
I sold a little art pocket to one of my loyal customers today, rah! I also finished editing a brochure for my friend in Uganda’s doll making business, and ordered 25 of them for the event I’ll be speaking at on the 21st.
This was a rather challenging day for me otherwise, as I have been waiting to hear back from someone about an advance on work for her, and I loathe waiting! I get all tense feeling, which I know isn’t good for me. Anyone else have that challenge?
Finally was calm enough to make this cute little notebook this evening. EnJoy!
Fifteen more days to this 365-day challenge! Woot! Be sure to save the date for February 25th, when I’ll be having a virtual celebration for completing my personal challenge. Details to follow soon.
My days just whiz by! I was about to do my stretch routine when a dear friend called and we chatted for over an hour. By then I was very hungry, so I had my smoothie, then put potatoes and yams in the oven to bake while I showered. Had half a potato with a lamburger and peas for lunch, divine!
I got on a bonus call with Year of Miracles this afternoon, to learn all about the advanced levels of the program, which include private and small group coaching and other extra goodies. There was some coaching for a few of the attendees, very helpful to me as well. My soul says YES! Go for the Accelerated level in order to bump up manifesting my intentions and healing the obstacles on even deeper levels. I have an interview for that program next Wednesday, and am needing some quick sales of art, supplments, air scrubbers and the Financial GPS in order to afford the extra tuition. I can do this; will you help me meet my goals to manifest my dreams so I can also help others meet theirs?
Here is a canvas I created from a photograph of an arrangement I created for the wedding of a neighbor’s son. You may order this here; also check out my other art offerings in my boutique! EnJoy!

Today I got on a small group coaching call for my Year of Miracles program, and got some support around feeling a lack of unconditional support from others in my life. I realized that that has to be something I can give to myself first. Healing!
I got a lovely massage this evening, an early birthday present to myself. Much needed and much appreciated! I could use one every week for sure!
I got home and ate dinner very late, and now I’m ready for sleep. So again, no new creations. Living in gratitude! Here is a pretty little folio I made and sold a couple of years ago. EnJoy!

Today I went to get some cash out for my birthday on Friday, yay! Then got some groceries and talked with a few merchants about possible sponsorship for my ongoing podcasts. I will follow up about this tomorrow.
Did not make anything new today, the day was too full of other things and just whizzed by. Here is a pretty little purse I made several years ago; enJoy!
Navy Purse
Today I tried on a couple of my gowns as potential garb for my birthday party. Unfortunately, most of the fancier dresses I have are short sleeved or sleevless and not very warm! I’m probably going to wear a velvet skirt with layers under it and several layers of blouses on top! 😀
I spent time working on a brochure for the doll making business of my friend in Uganda, as I’ll be speaking about this at the Co-Creation Salon on the 21st and want some literature to hand out–if I can afford to have some printed! Perhaps I can get contributions for that in advance.
This evening I made 4 more place cards for my party on the 10th. EnJoy!
Four More Hearts
A couple of minor miracles today: I went thrift shopping as it’s half-price day, and found a pair of dark blue cotton/spandex sweats at one store, to replace the pair I have that’s falling apart. For just $3.26! At another store, I found a pair of purple snow pants to wear when I walk in the rain (or snow) and keep my legs warm and dry! Paid just $10.85 for those. Yay! Just in time, too, as we’re having more rain now.
I have run out of steam now, so no new creations this evening. Perhaps tomorrow. Meantime, here is a box I revamped a few years ago (now sold) with gorgeous Ocean Blues paper from Graphic 45. EnJoy!
Today I had a long call with my business coach, gaining some understanding of student loan Income Based Repayment plan. Pretty bad news! If one pays loans with this program for 10 or 25 years, at the end of that time one can apply for and receive a loan forgiveness; however, this debt forgivenes is then reported as Taxable income–on money that was never earned! Yikes! Stay away from this type of repayment plan!
On another note, I went to town for a few groceries and sundries, and had a little left over to purchase these four gorgeous papers from the Stamperia Rose Parfume collection. Yummy! I’ve shown the fronts and backs of each pair of papers. Now I must dream up something to create with them. EnJoy!
Today I had to call the power company to get my account straightened out; they had not credited me for the last payment I made, even though the check was stamped as received. Thankfully that will be fixed!
Got a late afternoon walk in, mended some tears my sweat pants (I need new ones!), and talked with a good friend, who suggested I might sew up something quick for my daily project, which I did.
The corners came out rather funky on this little pincushion (roughly 3″ square), but I didn’t feel like taking it apart after stuffing it to fix them. So, here it is in all its misshapen form. EnJoy!
Purple Gingham Pincushion
I had a miraculous interview with Steve Harper on Meet the Elite podcast today; it flowed nicely and was a lot of fun! I now intend to be a regular guest on his show, all expenses paid, Divinely resourced! I intend to draw in 25 new customers this month of February, as a result of today’s show and beyond. Thank you Goddess. I will post the link for the replay as soon as I receive that.
Right after the show I went to my local chiropractor, then on to a couple of stores for drinking water and groceries. Had an almond butter and honey sandwich when I got home, then hopped on the Year of Miracles Mentoring call, all about falling in love with ourselves. Powerful!
I got an email from the leader of a local Co-Creation Salon, inviting me to be one of the speakers on the 21st! I will present about a friend of mine who lives in Uganda and has a business making dolls and other art; she also teaches other women to start their own businesses and thrive. Miracles abound!
Cooked up some venison steaks with mushrooms for dinner, and ate one along with half of a baked yam and some peas. Divine! Now it’s 9:30 pm and I’m feeling done for the evening. Time to relax and unwind with my journal and my novel before sleep. Here is another of my lovely paper purses, made a few years ago. EnJoy!
