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!

Ever feel sorry for yourself? Dive into a “pity party”? This is a prayer I wrote about a year ago to remind myself how lucky I really am…it actually really helps me put things in perspective…
THANK YOU for my head, my heart, my hands, my feet…
THANK YOU for my shelter and food to eat…
THANK YOU for my eyes, my ears, my nose, my VOICE…
THANK you for my FREEDOM…
MY FREEDOM OF CHOICE!

P.S. It’s fun to say this prayer with children & touch your head, hands, feet, eyes…etc & act out shelter & food to eat! (Try it!)

I just needed to write about how THANKFUL I am.
“GRATITUDE”
is in order to my dear friends & family who sent me
love & encouragement in a very difficult period in my life…
Special ~ special thanks to David, My mom. Martha & dad.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Everything is fine now & I’m feeling HAPPY again!
I am grateful that I have a roof over my head & food to eat & I’m healthy!
So, this Thanksgiving I’m sending out kisses & prayers in the air
to all the people who have touched my life since birth…
friends & family
(you know who you are!)
We’re all in this story together!
You have each help mold who I am today…
and guess what, with all my flaws & imperfections…
I LIKE ME!
And I’m very THANKFUL for that!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!
