Opportunities & pure potential…. They are present everyday in every way… yet often they are hidden, unseen, or perhaps it is simply we are not paying attention, we are not fully aware, we are totally distracted...we are living our lives in the past or perhaps it is the future & not the NOW moment…. The moments of Now are always here, always available!! Yet do we really truly live them??? New Moon energies are always offering opportunities to plant new seeds, new growth… new ideas, inspiration! So here we are we experienced an awesome New Moon… & then tomorrow is a new day, & a new month. October is the beginning of a bright shinny brand new, dynamic, potent energetic cycle!! October offers potentials for all of us to journey away from the negativity that has been cluttering/polluting/fouling up our lives & redirect us, guide us into a clear, open & unique fruitful pathway!! & yes what ever pathways we are offered, the choice is always ours… however, gentle reminder… insure you are in a clear head space when making choices, any choices! no distractions, no manipulations, avoid the crowds or herd mentality… detach from the 'system, & avoid being swallowed by the 'norm'. Insure you are personally grounded, centered as well as aligned in the present NOW moment! Breathe deeply into the Now moment! Feel the clarity & freshness of being awake in the NOW. Some folks feel the pulse, pull, current, flow of the New moon energies stronger then others, yet we all are capable of sensing these energies. Sense the waves & gentle breezes blowing through your beings, encouraging one to move ever forward on our journey… let go of the toxic, remove yourself from the crowded trenches of sludge that only keeps us stuck in the rut of the muck & mire… let it go. Awaken with the offerings of this recent New Moon… the Dark moon, the “black moon” & then step fully into the light of new possibilities, new potentials, new beginnings. May you always be blessed!! May you always be Balanced. May you always be Clear. May you always know Love! Hugs, earthdeva/molly

 Did this Sunday to share lines & shading techniques With my Art classes MONDAY. Autumn leaves. Pen & colored pencils. 18X24 So it is on the path of life i find myself completing the end of my 2nd week as a High School Art Teacher!!! The experience has been interesting to say the least! Altho i had applied for this position a while back, someone else had been hired. Interestingly This go around; the school contacted me!!! So this part of my journey started 9-16-2019. The school is under construction... so i have a traveling "ArtCart", materials were in storage, i have one class on the 1st floor, & a 2nd class on the 2nd floor, so the "ArtCart" & i get to use the elevator.... which is often an obstacle course!! needless to say,i'm getting a good workout!!! oh & the kids...the typical mix... (yes there are still "cliques") most of them{gratefully) want to be there, & even tho some are there for the credit, they also seem interested. i found out after the fact several folks at the school had recommended me for the position, there was even community support, as the school had folks stop by to encourage me being hired. so me being me, i am doing my best to see what their individual skill level is, what their interest is, what they know in regards to the art world. I am unsure when the Art Unit will be complete.... so currently using the materials i have located, would love to do more with them, yet with out a sink or water, i am a bit limited to what we work on. so it's the "basics" the foundational info. I surprised them with a TEST on Wednesday this past week, i allowed them to use some informational handouts.... I was pleased with their answers!!! below are 2 of the sketches i did for them to look at... answering what are the> Art Elements, Principles, Composition,Style. and so it goes... My Gallery Show continues through the end of October. Art is my main focus these days... i will continue to share my experiences as a ~High School teachers~ as always~ learning growing sharing as i go/grow. hugs of love, earthdeva/molly #abstract #lines #artistofinstagram #artistiam #journeyforwarddesigns #earthdeva #pencilsketch #artteacherstuff #mylife   There is a lovely inviting little settee waiting for folks to sit in & ponder their Portal Painting Journey. @WhitmanCountyLibrary Colfax,Washington  Gallery Show Description::::>
2019 Journey Through the Portals~ You are invited! Join this magical mystery tour of artistic transportation into realms unknown. Step through this exquisite and varied collection of portals as they draw you near and beg to be understood. What is a portal you may ask? How does one participate and step through a portal you may wonder? Well most importantly friends, portals are an opportunity to open your mind. They serve as windows of time, entrances into color and texture as an experience, passages to your next enlightening dreams, doorways to different dimensions, and answers to unspoken questions. In addition to being composed of varied canvases, acrylics, and intuitively selected three dimensional fibers and objects, these portals are made of magic, mystery, and miracle... So please, join us won’t you?? Step into your own new beginning, a dawning of understanding. Step into a new world. Open doorways to imagination, journey into paths that will lead you through to other times, spaces, and places. Feel the changing energies of the moon and tides in a visual landscape of ebb and flow. Notice the colorful scents that linger or appear on the breeze. All these things, they are the fleeting shadows of mist and fog. They are the doors to the rising and setting sun, moon and stars. Breathe deeply, stare intently, open your minds, and enjoy the ride!! so excited to show my Portal Paintings at the Center Gallery in Colfax, Washington (located next to the Library /Libey Gallery) show opens September 3, & runs thru the end of October 2019.  on the path of life, there is so much we can learn from ourselves; observe, listen, be present in the moment for instance the act of repeatedly doing something the same way getting the same outcome..... perhaps at some point we recognize this & choose to start doing it differently~ & perhaps it is no always about trying to 'fix' something that is broken.... sometimes it is sitting in the midst of the broken, & being fully present with it so we can let go & move on or perhaps it is more about starting totally over & creating something new, fresh, even better; learning from the broken, learning from what never worked for us~~ remember we are far greater then we allow ourselves to realize~~ & sometimes it's simply about the experience. it's all good~~ brightest blessings & warmest loving hugs, earthdeva/molly footnotes on the path of life as a thriver, i was a victim i was a survivor i chose to become a thriver! i have experienced many things in this go round on earth! both beautiful as well as the awful ugly bad shit! ALL of my experiences have assisted in making me who i am this day, ALL of my experiences helped shape me as a person. ALL of my experiences have offered me a perspective of how it can be. so each moment of each day, i get t choose; how to be how to react or no react the words to say or to be silent & still once when i was a victim in pain about past happenings.. someone said to me, that it was part of what made me me, at 1st i was offended... he continued further to say, i was a good person, with a kind & loving heart, & what had happened to me was all part of that... in that moment... my soul took me by the hand & led me to a higher perspective... & offered me a different view, & more clarity.... in that moment i traveled the path of life... that journey took me from victim to thriver!!! once when i was living in survivor mode, i was told my heart looked like a lovely shinning green crystal.... & i realized, i had hardened my heart to survive all the hurt & pain... i had blocked it off from feeling.... & in that moment i made a promise to never again harden my heart... my heart is wide open & flowing with love... this i did for myself, because i saw & felt the difference. in that moment i made the choice to release myself from just surviving only....realizing there was far more to life & living... i made the choice to be all that i was meant to be... Seeing & feeling in the unique way that is only mine.... i promised myself i would thrive in the best way i possibly could!! my life experiences are part & parcel of my being... we are all capable of rising above the hurt & pain, true some days it will be more of a challenge.. some days it will be enough to feel the pain, to feel the fear... i have learned by doing this i am able to push thru to the other side, & there is another side believe me!! when on the other side, i often looked back & thought to self... ummm, what was i so afraid of? fear holds us back. i made the choice to live differently! we all make choices each & every day, every moment... the path of life... the path i follow is mostly spiritual,mostly creative, close to nature, & one of love....this is my path, my choice. others paths are uniquely their own as well.... doing/choosing a different route may be just what your soul is requiring of you.... be still & listen... sharing in love! brightest blessings! hugs, earthdeva/molly our memories are our own.....interestingly an event attended by several individuals, will be remembered by each in a different way.... our life experiences reflect/affect our perspective on all we do, see, feel, remember. to be estranged from someone who once was a huge part of your life can be experienced in as many different ways by just as many different folks.... i am one of those folks... i often speak of clearing our energetic fields/auras of unhealthy hooks, cords & attachments... of detaching from unhealthy relationships.... of the importance of loving & forgiving our-self first.... because if we are unable to offer our self love, acceptance & forgiveness first, we are really truly unable to offer those things/ those gifts to anyone else. is it possible to detach from an unhealthy relationship & still love from a distance.... i believe it is... i have had to do this in my life on different occasions with different individuals... it has no been with out immense heart ache & pain on my part... there has been a loss of shared experiences....the company, the companionship...... & yet the love i feel & the memories of the good times are mine, & no one can take them away from me.... i am in no way attempting to be a martyr in this.... just sharing what it is i feel on my side, in my shoes. there is always more then one side to a story.... this is a for sure!!! do/did i welcome an opportunity to heal these relationship... yes of course... absoulutely!!! i have been unsuccessful in my attempts with this particular one (that is on my heart today) to this point in time.... yet no doors have been closed on my side, no bridges burned.... i remember other relationships were i pulled away to self protect at different times in my life.... i am unsure if it is my personality make up, being an empath, having such a clear spiritual path/directive that this takes place... or perhaps it is my own unwillingness to deal with bullshit.... or that taking on anothers pain & grief, becomes to heavy to carry, or perhaps it is seeing the situation in a bigger picture kind of way, when the other is unable or unwilling......who knows.... i do know how often i tried to fix it.... did my best.... yet we can only repair ourselves, & our stuff.... i do know i would like everyone to be happy, & to know they are loved.... i remember the 1st time i realized this is exactly what creator source wanted for us as well... to be happy & to know we are loved.... that is all.... simple yet quite profound!!! in these relationships that i detached/stepped away, i realized if they thought they were happier without me in their life.... i could be big enough & i loved them enough, i would be the one to remove myself... so they could find the peace & happiness they felt i was keeping from them..... i do know relationships are where we learn/remember our biggest life lessons!!! & the parent child relationship is the biggest class room of all!!!!!..... do i have the answers.... no.... tis no my place... i do however have love, & know LOVE & i know how powerful & healing love is. & so i let all the pain go, i have no control over another.... never did, never will.... when my heart is full of the ache.... i release it to the universe... to blessed creator source.... send it out surrounded by love..... & trust it to be healed.... yes estrangement is strange ...it has as many different faces as the people who experience it.... & thru it all...... only love is real~~~ so diese Worte mit großer Liebe und alles Gute zum Geburtstag SendenWorte der Liebe sendet, um das Universum zu meinem ersten Sohn geboren <3 brightest blessings to ALL & warmest loving hugs, earthdeva/molly WOW i 1st shared this 8 years ago!! footnotes >>>> who sews??
