Art for the Soul A harmonious union of thoughts, images, colors, and sounds

I think this is a great song to start the day. A fun attitude, a fun song. Jack Johnson - Upside Down with a special guest appearance by Curious George.

 Corinne Bailey Rae- Put Your Records On

She has such an awesome voice. Very talented. 

Lynryd Skynrd - Sweet Home Alabama

What a great song and group. I'm not sure what year this video was shot but it looks like the 70's or 80's.

This is an amazingly peaceful song, Cristofori's Dream.

I used to listen to this song over and over and over when I was younger. I have ridden horses since I was 5 and miss riding them. One day I hope to have a farm or ranch where I can have several trail horses. I grew up in a small town and am now leaving the great city of Spokane for a small town. I am looking forward to my life in the country and getting to know those who live there.

The Highwaymen - Silver Stallion

performed by Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson

The Highwaymen - City of New Orleans.

An amazing city I have yet to visit.

 I received my new address from the county today and the numbers add up to 11. In the numerology world this is a very interesting number. Read more below.

What's that "buzzing" I hear? Could be the electricity of the 11 coursing throughout this dwelling. 11 dwellings literally buzzzzz with activity and well they should when there's that much inspiration and creativity going on. People are constantly in and out and welcome to stay. Behind the "apparent" activity being conducted is a secret support network. The inhabitants of the 11 dwelling are usually guiding, encouraging, teaching, helping, healing and inspiring all under the guise of ordinary neighborly behavior. These houses are eclectic in some way, somehow patched together and a "work in progress" forever. Remember to read the 1 and 2 for other possible influences. Good for artists, writers, teachers, guides, counselors, and entertainers.

Good luck colors for this home are: Black, White, Opalescent Pearl, Clear Glass, Canary Yellow, Baby Pink and Baby Blue. All of the colors for the 2 dwelling are fine here too. 11 homes can be kind of a patchwork of styles and rooms with specific or overlapping purposes, such as a living room/art studio or kitchen/soap making laboratory.. 11 homes make excellent Bed and Breakfasts!

I attended the Art of Allowing workshop lead by Jerry & Esther Hicks in Seattle on June 30th. I met some amazing people there and really enjoyed the workshop. It was extremely helpful in reinforcing what I have been learning from "The Secret" and the Law of Attraction books I have been reading. One thing that happened was me asking the Universe to save me a seat up front. I arrived at the workshop and it appeared that the front rows were filled. I felt drawn to walk up front and saw a seat with nothing on it. I asked someone if anyone was sitting in it and no one was. It was my seat and only 10 feet away from Esther so I could  hear  and see great. What an experience!

I heard this song today, "Suddenly I See" by KT Tunstall. A great song.

"Suddenly I See"

Her face is a map of the world Is a map of the world

You can see she's a beautiful girl

She's a beautiful girl

And everything around her is a silver pool of light

The people who surround her feel the benefit of it

It makes you calm

She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)

This is what I wanna be

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)

Why the hell it means so much to me

I feel like walking the world

Like walking the world

You can hear she's a beautiful girl

She's a beautiful girl

She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white

Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember

What you heard She likes to leave you hanging on her word

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)

This is what I wanna be

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)

Why the hell it means so much to me

And she's taller than most

And she's looking at me I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine

Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower

A big strong tower She got the power to be

The power to give

The power to see

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)

This is what I wanna be

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)

Why the hell it means so much to me

I just completed a three day Leadership Seminar presented by COR (Center for Organization Reform). The seminar/workshop was amazing as was every single person involved whether as a participant or facilitator. If you ever get the chance, I would highly recommend that you attend one of their workshops. Your life will not be the same and you will likely learn the skills to being a more efficient and understanding leader who can operate in our fast changing world.
This is not a workshop to think yeah maybe someday I will do it when I have extra money. This is something that you owe yourself. 
If you want more information, plesase visit their website at www.corhome.org.
Another thing, the workshop are held in the most peaceful and restful place. The building is a converted barn and is surrounded by fields and nature. 

If you are in Anchorage in October 2005, check out Kaladi Brother's Coffee House to view my friend Kristine's art. Kaladi's makes a great brew called The Killer Clown.
