Day #10 Realization Day!

It IS A DAY of Realization!!!

A calm morning with clear intent.

It IS time to re align.

I want to THRIVE not strive!
The Push has to go! The Path that is mine requires no push. The doors open gracefully on their own! Yes I reach for the knob...that is my part BUT I do not need to kick in the door (for if I must kick door it's the wrong door!)

It's not a giving up, it's a re-aligning. In Dream Warrior phrasing it's a New Strategic Plan For Action.

I don't have all the details for this days awareness is enough!

But I will spin around my studio this weekend, seek inspiration, dance into my heart, let go of expectations of myself and definitely others...I WILL RISE LIKE THE PHOENIX FROM MY OWN ASHES and maybe pluck a few of my own feathers to don a hat!

So to gently skipping along...humming my tune and enjoying EACH moment...It's my life, my vision, my joy, my heart, my timing, my journey and it's just fyne!

Day #1 Le Fleur Du Jour

"Le Fleur Du Jour"

Day #1 of this journey was started with a bloom!

This rather large flower is made of sinamay (a very lite straw), Mother of Pearl, and vintage lace

The lace was part of a treasure bag I was given about 16 years ago.  I was given bags full of costume supplies from one of the prominent families here on Maui.  Lace pieces, jet beads, bobbles and such. This lace is probably from the 20's, probably hand made, and definitely fantastic!!!

Simple to wear...ties lace under hair on nape of neck.  I often add a bobby pin to hold hat in place.  The beautiful thing with this material is you won't even know it is on your head BUT everyone else will!

A one of a kind.

First in the series.

♥ My Dream is as Special As Me ♥ As Unique As Me ♥ It IS Multi-Layered ♥ Requires Effortless Ease ♥

How True!

Dreams are meant to be multi layered.  Multi layering allows for mystery, allows for miracles, allows God the space to open doors you may never have even thought about.

Today I open my dream to God.

I need not add pressure to my pot...I am making a delicious soup of my life and that requires slow and steady low heat not pressure cooking.

So today I choose to NOT make a hat.  No need.  Somedays I will make two (like Day 1) some days I will make none...I know my goal and I will reach it.

My goal isn't 60 hats in 60 days...

My Goal IS:

. going to London to meet and learn from Rose Cory

. moving to NYC for about a year (or how ever long I wish to be there) and embracing all that the city has to offer me

. allowing myself to grow as an Artist and Designer (accomplishing already!!!)

. to truly feel Contented and Happy (I have ALREADY accomplished this...hooray!)

. To see and spend time with Mi Familia in Arizona

These are my dreams and no matter what I do THEY ARE ON ROUTE...THEY ARE HAPPENING AND IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME...and guess what?

I get plenty o time!

So this Successathon, is So Important because it is like a retreat into Your Dreams.  This 60 day period is about truly embracing, living, believing, seeing Your Dream.

I find that ANY step I take towards My Dream is Just Exactly What I Need To Do.

So what do the next few steps look like???

I plan enjoying my weekend, spending time with people who inspire me (how awesome is that), floating naked in a pool, lounging in the sun, listening to beautiful music, laughing with dear ones, driving Miss Daisy (my little white miata), dressing up, donning hats, fueling myself with what makes me happy.

Perhaps I pull out my camera and take pictures of this week's brilliance.
Perhaps I will clear the deck of my studio and prepare for next week's brilliance.

I am ABSOLUTELY ON POINT.  Posed for all possibilities. Prepared and ready. 

I am a True Success Truly Living A Successathon!!!

Brilliant Me!

Day 2 is a HUGE FLOWER

The Sister to yesterday's hat IS MADE!!!

Folds of lite weight sinamay straw create a delicate & light flower that sits a top the head! Both Sister's have Mother of Pearl buttons & vintage lace (given to me by Hoppy (my neighbor in one of my studios years ago....he gave myself and my studio partner, I believe, 3 hefty bags full of "stuff"...ALL TREASURE...vintage lace, jet glass beads, victorian jewelry...needless to say I have held on to much of these and with this collection, when fitting, I just "may" use some...these lace ribbons were part of Mrs. Von Tempsky's craft supplies - I can only imagine what...... she designed) I have held on to these lace pieces for almost 16 years...they ARE Treasures. ♥

Photos coming soon. Starting to feel better. Thank You God! ♥

How Day One Unfolded

Today after napping with The Tiger rather than fighting The Beast I arose to soak in a tub of honey and lavender. I embraced the Power of Today without even realizing and then I opened up.


Full on to ...What Do I Truly Want???

I stepped out of the tub and into these words:


My Dream is as Special As Me
As Unique As Me
It IS Multi-Layered
Requires Effortless Ease

It IS Multi-Dimensional, Opening Beautifully
A New Petal to Discover
AND with it a New Scent of Mystery
The Fragrance Vanilla, Wild Rose and Gardenia
Mixed with Chai, Ginger, and Musk

It IS about Joyfulness
It IS about Love
It IS about Shining As Exceptional
As I AM

I Want to Let Go of The Wheel and Just Be Free
The Wheel Wants Me to Hold On
Not Too Tightly

I WILL Do This
I Desire to See What IS behind The Door to My Possibilities
I See Myself Unlocking Doors
I See Myself Being Embraced
WITH Laughter and Thoughtfulness
I SEE The Gestures

The Design IS Obvious
The Technique My Own
The Sweetness Maple Honey

Yes
My Dream
IS Ab-Soul-utely
Divine
It IS
Unfolding
It IS
Mine!
....................................................

And then I designed 2 hats!
