Yesterday was the Full Buck Moon, the Full Moon of July. She was really round and bright, I had a direct view on her from my bed.

It seems like I didn’t create any Wishboard (Vision Board, DreamBoard, whatever you call it) for a LONG time. So it was really good to be back in the process of browsing through magazines, newspapers, gluing, pasting and… dreaming.

I love reading Jamie’s insight each month, it helps me to have starting point.

On this WishBoard, my intention was to focus on connecting with people and trusting myself. I realize that I am ofter facing one problem while making a WishBoard: finding images. I always find words or small sentences very easily, but not images. It’s kind of frustrating me, I must confess.

• The totem at the bottom right symbolizes Canada; the image is linked with the sentence “meet extraordinary people”.
  Because I feel the need to connect more with other Canadians people. As well Creative people as “other” people. Kelly Rae’s “Lovebomb” meeting blogpost made me notice how much I am in need for a Tribe. It’s funny how this subject comes back to me nearly every single day for more than a month now. It means I have something to work on about it. Passing my fears of “they’ll think I’m crazy because they don’t know me” and contact people I discovered they live in the same (big) country as me. I want my own Lovebomb group. We’d meet once a year, create together, share where we are on our path, cry, laugh, eat together. I need it; and I am pretty sure I am not the only one !
• The middle image at the bottom, you may not see it clearly, is someone ready to bungee jump. I feel it’s time for me to take this leap, to start seriously working on my business -starting by re-vamping my blog and website, creating the products I want to share etc.-. Now is the right time.
• The bottom left image is made by Anahata Hatkin for Papaya Art (do you know how much I love them ?). I bought myself the giclee print of it a few months ago when I had a job, to celebrate me. It says “Breathe.Believe.Receive. It’s all happening”. Absolutely what I am experiencing now. Just a reminder not to doubt it anymore.
• The image representing a couple is for the joy I want to experience everyday with my husband and our girls.
• I need to consolidate my roots, to dig deeper in my past because I want to finish my book. I need to finish it. I need to discover myself even more.
• I loved the colour of the image at the top right, it says “Joy”. Also an image found at Papaya Art.
• I wrote a positive affirmation about money I am working on right now. I struggle to much with this part of my life, it has to change.

Do you create WishBoards ? I’d love to see yours 🙂

Here is a new cycle that is coming… it makes me think of SIA‘s song in which she affirms ”It has to end to begin“. It makes me realize that everything is a matter of Endings and Beginnings…

It’s like the Duality that lies within everything (you know the usual stuff: the light wouldn’t exist without the darkness, the summer without the winter… you couldn’t enjoy a “good” meal if you didn’t know what tastes you don’t like, etc.).

I notice that we should always keep this fact somewhere in our mind, just not to forget that if today is kind of bad, tomorrow will be better (oh, makes me think of another song by SIA. Yes, I listen to her a lot lately !).

I am a lot SURPRISED with what came out for this Full Pink Moon… I still don’t have any magazines left (I need to set up a budget for new ones soon). So I decided to paint it.
I had a general idea of what I wanted, but it does not look like what I thought… at all !!!

I’m surprised of all these bright colours (people who know me for quite long may be surprised too, as I’m used to black and really dark tones). I am using more and more colours and must confess that I enjoy it so so much.

I draw dandelions, that represent WishCasting and dreams coming true eventually.
I am feeling truly blessed this time and want to hold this feeling tight.
This desire of connecting with people and weaving a web is coming back…
Gratitude is still important (I do my Gratitude Friday here every week. Don’t be shy and come to share with us ! I’ll be so pleased to read your own Gratitude Friday. To know more about it, it’s there).

I am not affraid anymore to go outside my comfort zone. And to be honest, it’s important to me to explore what usually scares me or intimidates me.

I have the sensation of being at the Dawn of a new era of my life. It may be sometimes difficults but I’m sure that at the end, everything will be alright.

I don’t have any magazines stuff anymore !!! I seriously need to go on a magazine hunt soon…

So I thought that it would be a good idea for me to use Mosaic Maker again this month.
I used common sense pictures found on FlickR, three pictures of my artwork and an inspirationnal painting by Gus Fink.

1. Torley + Ravenelle – painted by Wynter Bracken, 2. “Trust”- mixed media artwork by Nolwenn P. (moi), 3. A Rainbow Of Books, 4. Baby Scops Owl, 5. Mango and Banana Smoothie, 6. Not Available, 7. Moth Baby, 8. Mandoodle– Art Journal page by Nolwenn P. (moi), 9. This is Me– Art Journal page by Nolwenn P. (moi)

What did I see when I look I my WishBoard ?

• I need to get back closer to my SoulMate, to take a better care of our couple.
• I’ve been working a lot about trust these past weeks or so (watch for tomorrow’s blogpost); it’s a long process for me but I know it’s for good and I can already feel some benefits.
• I will be starting a 3-day cleanse during Easter week-end (some may think I’m crazy lol) . My body is yelling at me to take care if it in a better way, and for me a cleanse is really needed. I found a book that makes sense to me, “the 3-day cleanse”. I’ll talk to you about this later, after the first time (yes, i’m kind of anxious). I want to still eat, not calculate every bite, enjoy it and feel good in my body. I want to keep it FUN.
• I need to run-away and as I can’t concretely do it at the moment, books are my relief valve. Books are my major mean for learning new things and so improve my self.
• I need to play, to have fun. But I don’t want to deny who I am and what I like, even if people could think it’s strange, or weird or sinister or whatever. I accept my preferences. Point.

And what about you, did you celebrate this month Full Moon ?
