Here I offer the ravings of an organic flower farmer as I proceed through the cycle of the seasons growing flowers as well as hosting experiencial empowerment classes. Joyous thinking, expanding teachings and comments about life working on with nature.

Artistic Living for Health!
Photograph by Terree Yeagle, www.themomentphoto.com
We do so many of the same tasks day after day with drudgery and annoyance. Boring and taskmaster they seem. Yet we hear life is an art form. Gandhi said, My life is my message. How many consider that? How is it that we make our life an art form?
If you are a woman it is actually natural. It is part of our essence, creativity, adding new life. We can take the ugliest of spaces and make them cozy. We can share terrible news with a wonderfully nurturing tone. We can take regular food and make it look scrumptious. We can make a simple ride in the car, an engaging adventure. We are the fun, flowing, changing force of humanity that adds a woman touch.
This photo by Terree Yeagle, www.themomentphoto.com captures this sense inside of us." How Lovely to be Queen" it reads. How about if we truly looked at ourselves and all around us as our kingdom so fine. It is whether we take responsibility for it or not. So lets sink into the same old. same old and add our true nature, our pizazz, our creativity. It is what we are missing that is allowing all this ill health. We are acting to mechanical towards life which is not our way. We are the creators of beauty and a representation of it as well.
So see your life through the eyes of the artist you are. Being creative is instinctive and part of our allure. Our looks, our clothes, our jewelry, our homes, our kitchens, our lives are based in creativity if we chose. Our tasks call for it. Life is smoother and more flowing when we call it an art form. As we move more slow, more naturally, more sensually connected to things, our life becomes more artful. It already is. Being fully aware and fully in charge of it makes all the difference! We move for more emotional, heartfelt ways that inspire us. Bring that part of you into being by living creatively each day at as many things as you can. You make that choice to call it art or scribble. Your movements, your emotions, your heart all work with you in creativity.
We have lost touch with this deep part of ourselves through all the male modeled economy and push for production, efficiency and thinking. There is a feeling world that goes with the other. Creativity brings both feeling and thinking together in a wonderful way. Woman have discarded this, rushed through it and are noticing the imbalance by experiencing erratic emotions. We are not moving rightly and our creative side wants to come forth, our emotions, hearts and souls want to be heard. We can regain balance at any moment by remembering our creative, artful way. We are doing it in some area of our life so it is time to bring towards our daily, repetitive chores so we may be more centered and flowing. Nourishing others by nourishing our essence. Sacred Femininity, Modern Femininity, a new way to bring toward our worlds that fills us so we may overflow to others.
I am building a community with woman in an attempt to tap into this essential nature we are lost from. We have it here and there in our lives and are seeking to bring it to all areas. As we do we will find more health and joy. It is part of our way here and the nourishing of ourselves has been lost due to the martyr role model we have learned. It is time to evolve away from it. Yes it is rooted deep but underneath is this lovely playful essence that fuels us so wonderfully when we get to it. It has tons of energy there but it is buried from our mental, masculine ways we are creating in. We were taught that and so now we must step further. The structures and learning about do not inspire us deeply because they based on logic and thinking. Our way is more flowing and when we tap that feeling nature it will assist us in presenting ourselves. The deeper tap into the essence and artistry must come first. Otherwise we are circling around and wondering why it doesn't work and begin questioning ourselves.
So investigate bringing artistry to your life in any way you can. You will feed your soul on deep levels and new ways will come forward. It creates health and happiness! We only have many small moments strung together and that is what we call our life!! Use them creatively and have fun! That's part of our purpose as woman!
