Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you all had a miraculous day, as I did.

Wowie!! A new friend has offered to gift part of my tuition for the Accelerated level of Year of Miracles!!! Thank you Goddess! This will give me access to more benefits, including some one on one coaching to help boost my miracle year.
I have an interview for the program tomorrow.

I applied for a second credit card with Capital One–and got instant approval! Zero % APR for the first 9 months, so I’ll be sure to not spend on it after that, as the rate is very high. Now I can use that to pay for another podcast, or buy art supplies, or whatever my inner wisdom directs me to use this for! Thank you God!

Did a bit more tidying in the home, swept the breezeway between my gate and my front door, and trimmed my rose bush back so it will branch out more in spring. We got about 5 minutes of snow pellets! At first I thought it was hail but too soft; it also smelled like rain in the air but was white. Stopped and melted very quickly after that.

I didn’t make anything today, so here is an image of the space I created for the Altar Show a few years ago. EnJoy!

Just 10 more days of this challenge! Yahoooo!

I went to get groceries and then to the Dollar Tree where I purchased 2 LED candles, a package of latex gloves to wear when I use e6000 glue or paint, and a Valentine balloon for myself!

Another day gone with no new creations. However, I did roll up all of the shirts and other clothing that I need to mend and put them into a bag, freeing up my rocking chair so I might actually use it now. 😀

Have a very Happy Valentine’s Day tomorrow, however you celebrate it. If you’re solo, I encourage you to treat yourself to flowers, chocolate and a special meal. Loving ourselves first is most important. EnJoy!

It was warm and sunny out today! Hung out some of my laundry and later took a nice walk, wearing my down vest instead of a coat.

Fun plans in the works, I’ll post more later in the week. Stay tuned!

I am taking an online course, Abundant Life, with Lisa Nichols; today’s lesson was about the difference between average or scarcity thinkers and abundance thinkers. She said “Abundance thinkers give themselves permission to fail in the pursuit of success.” What are you willing to give yourself permission to fail at? For me it’s love relationship and my businesses.

I did create a Valentine table arrangement; however it’s too awkward to hold up in front of my computer for a photo, so I’ll have to get a neighbor to take a picture soon. Meantime, here is the Valentine MDC I created a few weeks ago. EnJoy!

I got to eat the last of my three lamb chops and potatoes from last night’s dinner for lunch, so tasty! Did some chores and enjoyed all the birthday greetings on Facebook. Had nice phone conversations with my brother and next eldest sister, who could not join my virtual party yesterday. I miss them all so much!

Took a brisk walk and collected my mail, including two more birthday cards and a lovely box of flat-back pearls from my brother–15 different colors! Yay!

This evening I started on a new little project, inspired by Natasa of Treasure Books. What is it? Wait and see when I finish it! Hint: It will hold something unexpected. EnJoy!

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!
