I follow Jamie Ridler's blog on a weekly basis. I have been reading Wishcasting Wednesday
for a month now but never participated until today. Each Wednesday,
Jamie posts a question or a prompt on her blog and her readers write
the answers to her question on their blog.
Jamie asks this week, "What do you give yourself permission for?"
So, I, Anna, wish myself to give permission to:
Write with an open heart about my own life experiences without censoring myself.
Do whatever makes ME happy.
Do n... Continue reading ...

I mentioned in a previous blog posting that I am infusing creative time in my schedule. In January, I made Valentine cards. When I saw iHanna
was having a Postcard swap, I emailed her in a heartbeat. I made ten
postcards and since Valentine's Day was coming up, I made them all into
a Valentine theme. I love the significance of Valentine's Day but do
not necessarily agree that it is a one day holiday. Instead, we can
make everyday Valentine's Day. I know that I probably sound cheesy
but ... Continue reading ...

   I noticed last year that I had difficulty being creative and
writing about my feelings and thoughts. Had I become a robot? Am I
walking around unconscious of my world and who I am? Was I losing my
mind? Yes, I was losing my mind - my right brain to be exact. The right
brain houses the intuitive center, focuses on images and processes
ideas simultaneously, no sense of time and much more. You can read more
about the right brain versus left brain here.
Losing my creativity or n... Continue reading ...

I am taking this fantastic e-course by Holly Becker, author of Decor8 and Leslie S.,
author of A Creative
Mint. The inspiration board posting from last Friday was a homework
assignment.
I can't believe it is week 4 already. I am learning a lot about
blog content, blog ideas, and photography, especially photography. If

love to meet all of my classmates. Continue reading ...

The picture above is my inspiration for my blog inside of my Dream
journal. A picture speaks a thousand words so I wanted to explain my
thoughts behind the pictures. My blog is about health and wellness so I
hoped I capture this theme in my inspiration board.
Statue of Liberty: I live in NY so it is only appropriate that I
placed this landmark on my inspiration board. Not only does Lady
Liberty signify freedom, but I love the history behind the Statue and
what she represents for New... Continue reading ...

The entire month of February is America Heart Month. Today,
Friday February 5 is National Wear RED Day. Heart disease is the
number one killer in women. The Go Red Movement wants to save women's
lives. Show your support by wearing red. It does not have to be a
red pants or shirt but a red pin, red tie tac, red dress pin, whatever,
just something in your wardrobe that contains the color red. Show your
support.
Statistics
from the American Heart Association :

image found via kindovermatter and originally uploaded by claudia pearsonWell, it is the first day of February. February is National Heart
Month and Valentine's Day, my favorite holiday. I love hearts, the
colors red and pink and everything about Valentine's Day. The heart is
my favorite part of the body. This is where we feel love. I am
definitely a romantic at heart. I thought it would be appropriate to
concentrate on this month's theme on LOVE.
Everyone wants and needs love. It is... Continue reading ...
