ON THE FIFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS...

Again, another goodie today! If you've been meaning to pick up a 'You Are My Sunshine' or a 'You Are So Loved' print, today is a great day to do it. $5.00! That's a steal, my friends.

Click here to shop, and check back tomorrow for the last of the shop deals. After that it'll be *free goodies* all the way through Christmas! You'll love it, I promise.

Reality: by Ashley Inzer

Talented and lovely Ashley Inzer sent this over for us to enjoy- it's a diagram of reality. How cool is that??
This definitely seems to be the way that it works in my mind-- what about you?

Although, I'm also trying to get to a place where I don't completely identify my thoughts with what reality IS, and know that there is actually a deeper sense of reality that goes beyond the physical world. I think there are several ways to look at 'reality,' and this is one of them.

Big thank you to Ashley for sending this over, and make sure you check out her blog and her flickr photostream!

ON THE FOURTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS...

Today is a goodie! BUY ONE CALENDAR, GET A FREE PRINT. Nice, right?

And there's still time for some last minute gift-buying! Everyone needs a calendar, and it's my opinion that everyone also needs lovely art surrounding them, so get thee to the shop! I have both of those things.

ON THE THIRD DAY OF CHRISTMAS...

On this 3rd day of Christmas celebration, I'm focusing on giving of a different kind. Sisters of the Road is an amazing organization in Portland, Oregon which "exists to build authentic relationships and alleviate the hunger of isolation in an atmosphere of nonviolence and gentle personalism that nurtures the whole individual, while seeking systemic solutions that reach the roots of homelessness and poverty to end them forever." They run a nonprofit café which serves low-cost and nutritious meals that can be purchased in a variety of ways, including cash, food stamps, and exchange for work. I'm happy to say that I donated a small amount of money to them earlier this year, but I'd love to do more. Today I will donate 25% of all sales to this beautiful organization.

So, if you choose to purchase something from me today, you can feel good knowing that you are helping to feed someone a hot meal in this most sacred time of year. And I will thank you very much for your support and your generosity.

Believe: by San Smith

My super-talented pal San sent this little illustrated reminder over (seriously, check out her website,) and I couldn't agree with it more!

I notice more and more in my life that my thoughts most definitely create my reality. If I believe that today is going to suck, then it will indeed suck, and probably suck hard. If I believe that good things are coming my way, they always do. I know it sounds too simple, but it really does seem to work that way. Thought = belief = reality.

Sometimes we don't even see that our beliefs are just thoughts, and that we can actually CHOOSE what we want to believe. Which means, we can create whatever kind of reality we want, right? That's powerful stuff.

Anyway, big thanks to San for sending this over. Be sure to check out what she's up to, because she's the queen of cuteness!
