THE VISION BOARD by Joyce Schwarz featuring “FREEDOM” by Bethann Shannon ~ art sold on ETSY.COM
I am very delighted to be included in Joyce Schwarz’s newest book
THE VISION BOARD ~ The Secret To An Extrordinary Life
Joyce bought one of my “Frida In Heaven” cartoons from my ETSY shop
Later she told me she would like to feature it
in her new book about “vision boards”.
I was delighted to be part of “THE VISION BOARD” book!
I’ve always been a big fan of THE SECRET, The Law of Attraction and Creative Visualization!
I believe our thoughts are things! Our thoughts are powerful.
I made hundreds of “vision boards” during my lifetime…
they really help me focus and get clear on what I really, really want.
I also use them in my art and movement workshops/retreats/classes
called “LIFE IS A * BUN * DANCE” , CHAKRA FLOSSING
CANVAS DANCE ~ PAINTINGS FOR PEACE
LIA+LOA (Life is A*Bun*Dance +Law Of Attraction)
“DANCING THE LAW OF ATTRACTION
WITH
MOVEMENT AND MANTRA
and
Soul Trek Trance Dancing
I just got my copy of THE VISION BOARD and I really love it!
I’m giving many away for The Holidays &
I think it makes a GREAT GIFT for the new year!
Thank You Joyce!
Thank You Harper Collins!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODY & THANKS FOR VISITING MY BLOG!


I’m still traveling back & forth from DC to Lenox!
Both places have displayed voluptuous, abundant,
bold, breathtaking clouds and skies!
My head was in the clouds everywhere I went!
I couldn’t stop staring at the sky!
I have some excellent pictures of some excellent skies!
Some say …”Stop & smell the flowers”
I’d like to add…
STOP AND SEE THE SKY!
The sky brings me so much JOY!
I really do live for clouds!
BIG SKY ~ BIG SIGH

I love the SKY!
The sky is HEAVENLY!
I live for clouds!
Each sky I see is a work of art, each with a feeling, each with a story…
some filled with intense drama!
Some simply like a storybook!
I find great happiness gazing at the sky.
It almost feels like a longing !
When I was 21 I was a flight attendant for TWA.
It was my favorite job ever…because of the sky !
(and I also love people)…
I was thrilled and excited to be up there! So beautiful!
I found abundant joy in that job…
then I was laid off.
Now, I look up everyday and still think Heaven is just Heavenly!
I paint it when I can and love the painters who paint it well, like Magritte,
and my artist father Joe Shannon…
I started taking daily pictues of the sky this month
and will start a collection of excellent skies!
The 2 places I lived or visited that had the best skies was in
MONTANA, which is called “BIG SKY COUNTRY”…
and ASHEVILLE, NC, called “Land Of The Sky”…
both places had breath taking skies
that put you in a total humble state of AWE!
Third up for me would be San Francisco…
amazing drama with the clouds & fog over Golden Gate Bridge!
OH! THE SKY!
“SIGH”

My friend Peter Taussig is making short films about “interesting people/ artists”, and he asked if he could film me… his video about me is now posted on UTUBE ~ THE ART ANGEL

I would post it here… but I’m a Neanderthal with computers & don’t know how!!
You want to know how to make God Laugh?
Tell him your plans!
Old joke…I know… but it still rings so very true! I know, personally, I made a whole bunch of plans in my life…but GOD, (The Universe, whatever the name!), had other plans for me…so, as usual, I surrender to this path and continue to trust this process & remain grateful & and think positively, even through difficult times…
especially
through difficult times.
