Painting. The medium doesn't matter, it can be anything from sidewalk chalk to steamed window glass. As long as it leaves a trail, it's good enough for me!

it all.

well if we talk about hits, it must be that love dart I've been hit with!

And although I don't see love as an emotion, rather the state of being, it makes me happy, so it may even be happiness that hits me most deeply...dunno;) I won't categorize this.

I'm more related to it by other people then I relate myself to it.

I'm often asked what is my sign and when I give the answer I know a detailed survey follows: "Oh of course, you're very impulsive, passionate and stubborn, but also a born leader, proactive and very intelligent."
And I think: "Man, this is one hell of a prejudgemental person. I even lost my interest in continuing this conversation. I'm off to my blisfully unaware Aquarius."

I've seen that for a person without enough understanding, relating people/themselves to their signs only creates preassumptions in their heads. Or they tend to have an explanation for each regret they carry with them.

At the same time I enjoy being an Aries. I love to read about my sign, but I don't feel being conditioned by it. I somehow tend to memorize only what my strengths are, and those I can really relate to myself, I decide to build.
I picked up over the time some of the things that are related to my sign. When I'm in doubt of what dress to wear, I love to use the color red. When ordering a meal, I love to experiment with new flavours and I wouldn't mind to have a diamond some day ;)

Improbability.
;)
I kid. I kid. It means harmony of joy, growth and peace in my life.

Balance in the traditional sense doesn't seem much possible to me, at least not from the point where I'm standing now.

The act of balancing my life while I have so much fun and joy in this creative mess would be creating imbalence itself.

I love having lunch at noon one day, and at 5 o'clock the other. I love working like a maniac for a week on some design, taking a week off camping, and then returning to canvas instead of computer. I love not knowing what will I feel like working on this afternoon.

I know I will want more balance as I get older, but for now "balance" means harmony of joy, growth and peace in my life. And if someone sees this balance as imbalance, then I say Man, it is only his imbalance getting in his way ;)

Don't explain, don't complain, don't compare and don't dye your hair, little lady!

Raising the Earth's consiousness.
If we manage to do that, all other things will simply fall into place.

When I was 6, I had so many questions like that in my head.
Most of them would pop out during my catechism class. Once I asked my teacher "What would be if there was nothing? If God never created us? What is nothing? What existed before us?"
She did her best to give an answer that the whole class would understand, but I was far from satisfied.
Now I belive in that "nothing" I was so curious about. But I can't percieve it with my senses, I cannot grasp it with my human mind. I just know there is.

Guess that is my answer. The most unanswerable questions are those whose answers lay beyond our comprehention. The answers to those questions simply cannot become the objects of our thoughts.

I would buy glasses for working at a computer, and a big monitor for my Photoshopping, a Wii, a nice pair of pumps and a beautiful dress for my brother's wedding.

stress.
I see so many people suffering from this invention, and can only wish they "uninvent" it for themselves.

The illusion of needing things.
I too often realize I don't have something, in my closet, in my atelier, in my office, everywhere, there's always something I lack, and if I get it, then I'll be on the roll.
What a false belief it is!
I know exactly how it started, developed and grew with me.
Being aware of it, I am actually getting a lot better now in realising this absurdity, that I will somehow be a better, more effective me with something I now lack. I realise I can be the best me with what I have now. Getting this feeling of safety, of self-confidence is what I want to have within me all the time.

Release your fears and belive in yourself. You are capable of all you're dreaming of, and much more. Continue walking your path, don't look back, and don't worry if it seems to be leading away from your dear ones' paths. Those who love you will wave at you from their path.
And, try to spend more time with your daddy. He won't be here forever.

The last one - my succesful transition from blond to almost-as-natural brunette.
 

Yes I could and I will!
I bet I'll be as passionate about my work at 65 as I am now!

Right now I'm working as a graphic designer, and painting on the side. And I love it both.

When leaving my college I planned it the other way round, but without a college diploma and being self-employed, I have to first look at what is bringing me more income.
And it really doesn't matter becuse all types of creative work make my heart sing.

What is important to me is that I am aligned with my true purpose. As long as I have the message, the medium doesn't really matter.

Someday it may turns around, and I start painting for living. Or maybe I'll start proffessionally desining. I will probably return to college at some point, when I settle in only one of the areas. I really don't know where my work will take me, but I know I will continue creating.


p.s. the photo: My 4-year-old niece, painting in a funny pose - you see how the medium doesn't matter?

"444 - The angels are surrounding you now, reassuring you of their love and help. Don't worry because the angels' help is nearby."

This is from an article about "Number Sequences From The Angels" by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D

It is my favorite one because I see this sequence only when I really need it, when I'm insecure or afraid of something. It makes me feel safe and it immediately transcends my worries into freedom.

Sometimes I walk home in the night, and I suddenly get scared and feel unsafe, usually about the stupidest things, but still the fear is there. Then I'll suddenly see a car with 444 licence plates and I'll smile and get home without being nervous. I will start breathing lightly and relax.

Grateful.

Oh my, three years ago, my sister - she dressed herself as a beaten-up hooker. It was unbeliveable. She wore some sky-high-heel purple boots that made her walk like she was beaten up! She put heavy makeup and made bruises, I mean greasy, attention -worthwile bruises. Her clothes were all ripped lace, like she was figting back. Her stockings were ripped, too,and her hair all messed up. It was hysterical! People didn't dnow was that the costume, or was that supposed to be a costume, but got in a violent act on her way there!

My favorite costumes were Jadzia Dax, the Vampire Bride and Miss Nanny Fine.

Here we celebrate Haloween in local pubs and cafes that make the occasion special. It was not a part of our culture until recent years. The day after Haloween, the All Saints Day, is the national holiday. On Haloween everybody goes to the cemetary to visit their loved ones' graves. It's a very spiritual custom, very atmospherical, especially at a night's visit.

My gang loves dressing up for Halloween. Since it's not a real maskerade here, we all dress up to be vampires, witches and ghosts. We're probably the spookiest ones in town. Guys are particularly interesting when they start to paint on each other's faces, like they are catching up with years with no make up.

The real Haloween in Croatia is in February, and it's called Maskerade, a festival. Just like in Venice, everybody puts on a costume and joins the "mob" on the streets that has taken up the town. The major has to give in the city key to the new Maskerade king, and a hell of a party begins! It usualy lasts as long as there's a band playing and enough to drink.

I'll post my sister's photo I manage to take a picture of it!
