Interesting thing I've noticed... Have you???

While I have been going through some financial hard times, I have had to improvise on my "entertainment" choices... So instead of having satellite, I now have NetFlix... While I miss some of my shows, I am grateful for the documentaries and similar movies/shows I can watch whenever I want.   Which brings me to the movie "The Secret" about the Law of Attraction, and I have noticed there are quite a few people that are in my "internet world" that have discovered this as well.   Is this something that I happen to keep finding because I am just "linked, circled, and liked" with people of the same mindset?  or is there truly a movement happening on our small planet because we are beginning to "see" what is happening?  

At first I thought this might just be my own little mid-life crisis perhaps, or like I mentioned above, just the influence of those in my social media circle.  Then I realized that while I was basically in limbo for the past six months on certain media sites, that there were some that had come to same conclusion as I have been developing in the same time period away from their influence.  And this got me more excited!!!  How neat to be involved with a flow of overpowering positive energy!

So back to "The Secret".. an amazing movie!  Interviews with many many positively influential persons talking about how your thoughts create your world!... Law of Attraction...  I have it on 'Instant Queue'  so I can watch it about every other day.  Why? you may ask...  Because I am becoming the person who no longer gets really excited about something and then just lets it wane away, and then go back to my normal routine.  I watch this movie before I go to bed or after I wake up for an instant motivational pick-up.  I have been doing this for  the past two months or so.. and it is working for me.  I love my new mindset!!  I've always tried to be a positive person, but I would allow myself to get to the edge only to talk myself out of completion because I didn't see any "growth" coming from the situation I was trying to achieve.  As one narration of it in the movie is "it's like a plant about ready to bust up from under the earth, but doubt sets in, and the plant never emerges"... well that is greatly ad-libbed,  but you get the idea.  I was always the plant that never emerged...until now!

I am still working on trying to find the balance between work, sleep, a full and part-time job, being there for my young teenage daughter and older son, creating crafts for my future online store Patchwork Pentacles, and last but not least social media... haha!  This time I just happen to have an over abundance of Positive Intention and Thinking Pattern to get me from point A to point B without all the distractions of the negative self talk.  I know what I want and I now verbally ask for it, instead of just keeping it my head.  I can, and will, make it all happen!!

Blessings to All, and have a Fan-Tab-U-Lous Day!!  )0( Metal Mom \m/

PJ and Patches...

Well, this last week has brought about some creative energy!  I have created a poppet pattern that can be transformed into either a PJ (girl) or Patches (boy) doll.  I have added a little something extra to my poppets that I have not found anywhere else, so I hope they will be liked and used in the positive intention that they created with.  The pattern is quite simple, it is the extra element that is it that makes them stand out.

I am sending out my Blessings to all, and have a great week!

Oh Where oh where can she be???

WOW!  Where have I been lately?  This is not what I wanted to do... go months w/o writing!  I wanted this to be a weekly post.  Guess that is just what happens when you get to wrapped up in yourself and let things slide.

But I have done quite a bit of growing these past six months and have a better perspective on what I want to accomplish personally and in business.  I have discovered "The Secret".. the Law of Attraction, which I have always known was there I just didn't FOLLOW THROUGH!  Ugh!!  The story of my life... up to now, I have really been working on this.  I know my biggest fear, and failing to follow through with things is a major hurdle.  I have fear of success.. if you can believe that one!  I don't know why I have practically insisted on self sabotage and making things harder than they need to be.

But I have grown as I mentioned, and am working on getting Patchwork Pentacles launched.  I have a great idea for a poppet and am researching different fabrics and charms to use.  I have the basic pattern drawn out and am going to make a test pattern this weekend to see how easily it can come together because of the twist I want to add to the design.  This will be the first of many handmade items I will have available.

I have also realized the I need to quit doing so much research on areas of health... I know what to do, been there done that... I just need to do and live it!  And I need to develop my Spiritual side, and better learn my Craft.  I have always "known" but have never really comprehended the knowledge that I need to walk the path that I speak.

And while it seems like I have said too many "I"s, sometime you have to be a little selfish, so that you can greater help those in the world around you, something many of us seem to forget or feel guilty of doing.  So, with all of this being said, I hope to see you all next week with prototype for viewing!!  Blessings to all!!!  ~ )0( ~ \m/

Skin 'O My Teeth...but I am still going!

Well lucky me, I still get to continue on with school and I get to go to my "magical" school... Yes, my own Hogwarts!  This summer I will be taking Aromatherapy 101 and Herbology 101 at the American College of Healthcare Services, online, from Portland, OR.  Then I will just have two more courses to complete my Certificate for Natural Products Manufacturing. 

I am also completing my Bach degree, although I may have to take an extra term to finish up a class or two...( I had planned to be done in the Fall)  but all in all I think I have gotten myself past the fear of success hump and will have it by the end of the year! 

And not to mention that my son will be home soon from the Army, for good... YEAH! And I was able to find a cat that I had to give up when I had gotten divorced and moved where I couldn't have her anymore.  Thank you for FaceBook, if I had not "liked" my local news station, which I had only done a few days before!...I would have not seen the "Pet of the Day" for the local animal shelter!  Almost five years later there she was and I instantly new it was her and had to get her back, so now as my daughter says "all we need now is for her brother to come home, and our family will be complete!"  So very soon it will be mom, son, daughter, dog, and cat!

And Patchwork Pentacles is a go...business license, business cards, and website in progress... now to build the inventory... and create the work shoppe space... boy that will be a task!  But one I am so looking forward to the decluttering process.  I have been waiting for the weather to let up so I can put things out in the yard as I go through things, but that is not happening, so I will have to use the house for a bit and clutter it up for awhile!  All doable... excitement is in the air!

Patchwork Pentacles

Boy have I let myself struggle the past few months, and it has not been such a depressing or depression thing, it has been more of a bubble was burst and now am re-framing and making new decisions on where to head in life.

And, while I know I need to finish, I am almost to the burn out point again of college, with only two more terms to go.  But, at the same time I am so excited about starting a new project.  Patchwork Pentacles!  This will be the start of an online store and eventually be a physical shoppe.  My hopes are that a person can "piece together their own unique path."  Much like I have done and am still doing.  I sense a really strong pull in new direction and it includes all things nature. 

Yes, I will still have my 40 hour a week job, but it is a start and eventually I will have my degree if I can pull off this last term.  We will just have to wait and see, and keep plugging along.  So please stay tuned for more information about Patchwork Pentacles!
