Rachelle (Magpie Girl)’s generous offer for her Power Stories workshop

WorkshopsWritten on September 1, 2010 by Nolwenn

Hello !

If you follow me on Twitter, you may know that I was recently the lucky winner of the Lovely Trenda aka Tarot Mama double yummy scoop giveaway last week. I won a tarot reading by herself, and it was very encouraging and inspiring, AND a spot in Rachelle Mee-Chapman (alias Magpie Girl) new workshop called Power Stories.

This workshop is about listening to your Inner Voice and following your gut. Stand for your truth and don’t be affraid of it. Here is what Rachelle tells about it:

This course is designed to help you tap into your intuitive source of guidance; and to shut down noisy interlopers. As a result you will move through life from a place of powerful internal authority.

Learning to STAND results in:
a strong sense of direction about personal relationships.
confident, “right fit” work decisions.
the strength to live into your own spiritual or religious beliefs.
a life that feels stable and energized – not timid and depleted.

[...]

Here are the weekly stages in Power Stories:
Stage One: Get Grounded
Stage Two: Kick it to the Curb
Stage Three:Re-Establish Your Own Truth
Stage Four: Listen to Your Muse
Stage Five: Become Embodied
Stage Six: Move Onward

This is exactly what I need. Befriend my Inner Voice, listen to what she has to say, and just… go for it !

And you know what ? For only two days, Rachelle makes a super duper offer to be sure everyone can sign up: you write her an email (at moi@magpie-girl.com) with the amount you can afford and this is what you’ll pay. I’m just amazed by so much kindness and generosity, that’s also why I want to help her spread the words about it.
You have until Saturday September 3rd to contact her.
She tells you all about it:

::Power Stories:: Tips and Tales for Standing in Your Own Power from Rachelle Mee-Chapman on Vimeo.

I know that signing up for workshops is not easy. That’s always why it’s something I think about for loooong time, I discuss it with my husband, I write down the pros & cons & “do I really need this or is it just a passing desire ?” etc.

This workshop really goes along today’s Wishcasting Wednesday about new beginnings and Trust.

Wishcasting Wednesday: What do you wish to begin ?

Wishcasting WednesdayWritten on August 31, 2010 by Nolwenn

This week is all about new beginnings… so says Jamie :)

What do you wish to begin ?

The first thing that came into my mind was I wish to begin to trust. It seems simple said like this. But it’s not.

By the way, I am working on it everyday. Letting go: fears, doubts etc. But they keep coming back and keep telling me these nasty things about me and what I do.

But when I am in a deep state of Trust, I can feel everything changing around and inside me.

Trust brings freedom. Trust brings light (in the heart and in the mind). Trust allows us to be ourselved and do what we feel inclined to do.

I wish I could be in this state of mind all the time. Without any breaks. I wish to trust myself, to trust the emotions I experience, to trust the messages and signs I receive.

Trust.

Trust.

Trust.

My new handmade art journal, facing some issues

My Artwork by Nolwenn

Hello !

You’ll think I suck with my journals… you may be right, I don’t know.

I’ve been working on this one here and there for a week (because I never had the possibility to focus on it more than 30mn each time). I love it but I am facing several issues, and one is kind of “serious”.

This time, I wanted to try Teesha Moore’s method (because I know her journals are awesome, right ?! ;-)). I’ve done several of her 16page journal made with only one sheet of paper (and if you didn’t give this a try yet, go there. It’s just easy peasy and really fast to make).

First, I realize thanks to this journal making process that I need to see the person creating to understand more easily. It’s just a observation. Words and few illustrations are not enough for me. I had to read several time (lots of times I should stay, and to ask for confirmation of good understanding).
Second, I hate math. I am probably numb but it took me a while to figure out where to put my 6 holes on my 10inch guide.
Third, I have some small strength issues and it’s very hard for me to pull the thread correctly. So it’s too loose despite my efforts to keep it tight. My husband told me that next time, he’ll help me (he’s so sweet).

As you can see on the picture, my problem is simple: the book tape (which is self-adhesive, I bought it a while back online at Paper Source for Julie Prichard‘s awesome class about book binding) does not stick properly on my painted book board.
My brother-in-law suggested it’s because of the paint. Personally I don’t know. When I made a journal using painted masa paper, I didn’t face the sticking problem. And because bookboard is quite thick, I can’t sew the tape and the bookboard together as Rhomany does in her Cryptic Coptic Binding class (which add a beautiful finish look, by the way).
It’s the same on the inside when I open the journal…
I tried to glue with PVA glue but it got messy and absolutely useless.

Did you experience the same ? How did you fix it ?

My husband and brother-in-law gave me some ideas, so for now I simply put some magic mesh over both covers. As it’s very sticky, it’s okay but I’m not sure it will last forever like this :(

Here are some pictures (but the front cover does not look finished to me yet):

I love the dangly things on the spine. The beads are from an old broken necklace.

So it was a struggle to make for all the reasons I wrote but I enjoyed the process eventually and will just change some things next time to make it more suitable with what I can do.

Every suggestions for the sticky problem are, of course, welcome :)

By the 4 winds #13: EMOTIONS

Art Journaling,By the 4 WindsWritten on August 30, 2010 by Nolwenn

By the 4 winds is a project I do with other women in our Journals. One subject, several points of view. If you want to know more about it, go there.

Hello !

This time, it’s back for good (I hope so). It’s already the 13th week of our challenge, a little bit more of three months. I was not really a good host during summertime but it’ll change.

This week, the random subject was EMOTIONS. Quite vague and allows a lot of possible interpretations.

This page was not aimed to be part of the By The 4 weeks challenge when I started it last week. I just wanted to play with the cheap Crayola water paint (yes, the same that we bought to my daughters for their art journals; I loved it so much that i spent $4 for having my own). And yesterday, while thinking of this theme, the page became obviously THE page for this week.
I then coloured the face, rework quickly the hair and the text just imposed himself to me.

So this page didn’t take me long to create but I really like what came out. My intuition took over me, creativity just drove my hands. For once, I didn’t ovethink it.

The texte says “Acknowledge every emotion you experience as it serves a greater purpose“.

I am over-sensitive. I used to hide it the best i could because for me, it’s caracterised by a flow of tears. Every single strong (for me, which is totally subjective) emotion brings tears. And it tends to destabilize people (which I can totally understand). But always explain “no, I’m not crying because I’m sad” is exhausting, and usually people just don’t (want to) understand.
Until not so far ago, it was really a heavy burden. But now, I see it as a blessing: at least, the emotions I feel are there, I can’t deny them, and my body expulses them so they don’t eat me alive.

It’s important to acknowledge what we feel (as well as what we think), even if it lastes three seconds. Thus, we can decide to shift them for better.
We are often affraid of our emotions. Affraid of what they can say of us to others. But we are not out emotions. They can go through us without sticking on our Soul. We can grab them and chase them. We can shift them. That’s why I say it’s important to take time to look directly at it, and to try to understand. But yes, sometimes it’s just too scary. And it’s okay to feel the fear.
Don’t let these “negative” emotions take control, let them flow on you without penetrating your heart. But drown yourself in all the positive feelings you can experience, and think about these ones when you realize you’re not feeling as well as you’d like to.

Here is what Sofiah created about our Emotion theme.

    Goddess Leonie’s GODDESS CIRCLE, one year of spiritual creative juiciness

    Inspiration,Workshops by Nolwenn

    Hello !

    I kind of disconnected this week-end. We were hiking in the mountain, we visited friends in another mountain, we celebrated birthdays, we just enjoyed being alive and the beauty of our beautiful Province. So I don’t feel any guilt for not having been there. I missed you, though :)

    Most of you already know the gorgeous Leonie, aka Goddess Leonie. She’s an Aussie, she’s a woman, a goddess, a mama, a sister, a dreamer, a daughter, a lover, a teacher, a muse… She’s awesome !

    And to prove it, she proposes us something that let me jaw dropped, litterally: one year of goodies. Here is how she sums it up:

    Goddess Circle membership will give you access to everything I’ve already created – and all the things I will create for the next year – so you can use them again and again to not just discover the goddess in you, but keep connecting with her wisdom, creativity, joy and love.

    All up, you’ll get over $600 of my goodies – for only $99.

    Yes, your eyes read it right. For only $99, you’ll get access to everything Leonie created PLUS everything she WILL create during the year. Isn’t that wonderful and generous and genius ?

    She explains it all in this video:

    And if I’m right, she is planning to build a discussion forum so we’ll be able to share and cheer up with each other. How cool is this ?

    It’s definately on my list of things I will sign up as soon as I can. I signed up for her affiliate program because I like to share what i love and earning some dollars by encouraging people to discover their truth(s) allows me to continue on my healing and creative path (by attending workshops and buying books).
    I am honest with you: if you sign up for Leonie’s Goddess Circle by my link, I’ll get a comission so I’ll be able to access to it myself (it’s my goal).

    You can buy it via the link above, or by clicking on the button located in my right sidebar :)

    Gratitude Friday 08/27/2010, Thank You Generosity

    Gratitude FridayWritten on August 27, 2010 by Nolwenn

    Gratitude Friday is a weekly ritual I started in order to focus on all the small and big positive things that happened during my week. I invite you to join me, you’ll see how much being thankful can change your life. If you want to know more about it, read my introduction post.

    As I already told you (i think), my brother-in-law is currently in vacation here. It’s pleasant to have him with us.

    This week, I want to focus my Gratitude on all these little gifts we receive daily. May it be given by someone or simply by the Universe. Because all gifts are not necessarily material ones; and that I tend to forget this. So today’s Gratitude Friday is like a reminder.

    ➪ Thank you for the night dreams I have. Sometimes they’re blurry, sometimes I don’t remember them after my second wake up, but they’re always a way of learning and discovery.
    ➪ Thank you for the beautiful birthday day my Grenouille had. She’s already 5, she’ll be in kindergarten this year. She loved her day, and we celebrated her as she deserves it.
    ➪ Thank you for the emails I receive and answer back, always cheering (I give so I receive and the more I receive the more I give). I build new relationships, rediscover some old ones and I enjoy it very much.
    ➪ Thanks for the end-of-summer rides we do in family. And thank you because my Cheridoo is falling in love again with photography.

    ➪ Thank you for the lessons learned the hard way, in my daily life. Negativity always brings a dose of positivity.
    ➪ Thank you to the Universe for putting a kind man in the life of my Sweetie Pea. I am so happy for her.
    ➪ Thank you for the kindness of the ambulancemen that took care of us. Thank you because there was more fear than harm.
    ➪ Thank you for the gifts my daughters received from our neighbour B.
    ➪ Thank you because Koala finally got a place in the preschool we wanted (located in the same building the the school her daughter will be). It’ll only be a few hours a week -5- but it will be for the best for everyone. The waiting list was huge and we really didn’t expect she’d get a place this soon. So thank you !
    ➪ Thank you to the Universe for the Universe i receive everyday. I understand now what I read someday: that we can access inspiration anytime, it’s inside us, we just have to find the way to it. Being open to was surrounds me is my new mojo.
    ➪ Thank you for the unexpected opportunities I have to look back at my past and to realize that I do have accomplished some positive things during the last ten years.

    Do you want to receive a secret snail mail art ?

    InspirationWritten on August 23, 2010 by Nolwenn

    Today is the welcome back of my Inspiration Mondays. Everybody with me: “yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah“. I know I know, the last one was ages ago. I want to do it on a more regular basis, especially with all the goodness I want to share with you.

    You know how much I love Samantha Kira, aka Journal Girl, right ? She’s currently very active: a weekly vlog on uStream (every tuesday, at 5pm Pacific Time), she just launched HodgePodge which is a huge e-zine in 4 parts, she is moving in the other side of the US soon, she journals, she paints… wow ! And she found the time to create something awesome: the Secret Art Pen-Pal Swap.

    Do you remember when you were a kid and that you exchanged snail mails with other kids you didn’t know “for real” ? I loved it, and don’t tell anyone but this is how I fell in love with Canada ;-)
    I really miss receiving snail mails. I remember how excited I was to go to my mailbox everyday and check if someone sent me a letter (and I still am, but except bills… we don’t receive lots of personal letters).

    It’s free (you just have to pay the shipping), and it’s simple: you create something (6×6 maximum) and you write an handwritten encouraging letter to someone that also signed up. And this person will do the same for you. You’ll make someone’s really happy.

    When you sign up, you answer a few questions so your paypal will know you a little bit better.

    Samantha describes it better than me:

    This swap has two parts:

    Create a piece of art.

    It can be any of the following:

    ATC
    Tag
    Journal Page

    Pretty much anything 6”x6” and under and flat.

    (No canvases or boxes, unless you’re okay with paying extra postage.)

    Write a letter.

    Be encouraging. Write about life lessons you’ve learned, tips and tricks dealing with art and life, send a favorite recipe. Your letter doesn’t have to be about art, but it should be uplifting and loving.

    I am so exciting to know who I am paired with ! Last time I heard about it, we were 57 people. Fifty-seven !!!!!!!!

    You have until August 30th to sign up. And when you know the identity of your pen-pal, you have until September 20th (my birthdayyyyyyyyyyyy) to send it.
    But only do it if you are sure you can, of course.

    So, are you in ?

    I am an artist. And You are too. Yes, YOU. [VIDEO]

    My Artwork,VideosWritten on August 20, 2010 by Nolwenn

    I think I’ll never say too much how my BIG experience is affecting who I am. I am no longer affraid to say that yes, is some way or another, I am an artist.

    And I realize that you don’t have to sell artwork that worth billions of money to BE an artist. Even people who don’t paint, or draw, or sculpt, are artists.

    Click to enlarge

    A few weeks ago, Connie shared a moving text where she declared her artist self. And each of us did the same afterwards. I read so many beautiful statements that tears fell off of my eyes many times.

    I wanted more than words, something I can look at when the Gremlins attack and cast doubt about it.

    I took a big poster board and just started to create. I had no idea what it’ll be. I just knew I had to do it. So it’s not pretty. It’s not the most beautiful artwork I’ve created. But I like it. Because I am not perfect.

    And you know what ? I recorded it, i always keep somewhere in my head what Kerri told me once: “always record, you can always erase if you don’t like it” ;-) Very good advice, isn’t it !

    It says:

    My Artist Statement.
    I am an artist because I say so
    I am an artist because I create my life everyday
    I am an artist because I feel I am my self whith paint on my hands
    I am an artist because I collect art supply instead of shoes
    I am an artist because I am BIG & FEARLESS
    I am an artist because when I see skies, I imagine them on canvas
    I am an artist because I’m proud to keep (tons of) diaries
    I am an artist because it flows in my veins
    I am an artist because I fill my walls with MY canvases

    Of course, this list can go on and on.

    I’m sorry, I had some issues while editing the video, it’s not the best quality but I really wanted to share it with you :) Here it is:

    PS: there is still room for you in the next tribe of BIG, so have a look, if you want to experience something you’d never imagine so juicy and so life-changing. No need to be an experienced painter to join. Read more about it here.

    A new week is ending, again…

    Today, my brother-in-law arrives from France for a 2week vacation with us; he was our first visitor last year and we’re more than happy that he’s spending his vacations with us, and that he’ll be there for Grenouille’s birthday next week.

    Thank you to the Sun that still warms me despite some cloudy rainy days this week. I read several times yesterday “autumn is there”, I like fall but I want to enjoy every bits of Sun I can have because soon, the rain will be there non stop for months.

    Thank you to my Lover, who takes some time every evening to work on my soon-to-be-launched shop, and for redesigning my blog/website.

    Thank you Paola, for taking some precious time to waving a hi to me while she’s spending a vacation week with her family.

    I’m very thankful to all the people who take part in my projects, like Gratitude Friday, and take some of their time to share. I can’t wait to tell you more about my big secret project :-D

    Thank you to my fellow Art Journalers at Art Journal Love Letters, for this week chat. I love the energy flowing there, and I was able to witness the bloom of what will be absolutely wonderful, powerful, giganormous (go Lisa ! DO IT !!!).

    Thank you for everything I receive. I learn everyday to enjoy what the Universe brings in my life, small as well as big, positive and negative. Eventually, it’s all good. It makes me stronger.

    Thank you in advance to all of the wonderful people that will take a leap in their creative business buy buying Kelly Rae’s ebooks, via my affiliate link so I’ll earn a little bit of money to invest in my shop (you can read my thoughts about this awesome class here)

    My “101 things to accomplish in 1001 days” list

    101/1001,BeWritten on August 19, 2010 by Nolwenn

    I am a big lister. Lists allow me to not forget, to keep some traces. I love writing but sometimes, I just prefer listing things, no pretty words, simply the facts.

    Deina (TheAmpleGoddess) shared her list not so long ago, which reminded me of mine. I neglected it complety for months, and the clock is ticking. But I realize that I achieved more goals than I thought, it makes me happy and help me to go through the “guilt” !

    Setting goals can be useful to stay on track, and you can always change these goals along the way…

    I discovered this project in 2008, via the blog of my friend Sandrine. I thought that I needed goals, and that having 1001 days to achieve them was the right amount of time: neither too short nor too long (1001 days=nearly 3 years).
    Some of everyday life goals, others are life changing ones. As I re-read them to post this article, I noticed that I should modify some because of what my life is like today. I don’t erase them, just twist them.

    Here is the thing: build a list of 101 things/tasks you wish to accomplish. These things have to be precise, without any ambiguity. You have to check your list often, because you can forget about it. It’s okay if you don’t finish it, but the fun thing is to see crosses on every point of your list when you reach the 1001th day ;) Keep track of it, what is currently being done, what is done etc.

    You can use this tool to calculate your end date: time & date.

    Start date: August 27th 2008

    End date: May 26th 2011
