Hearts to you!

Sunset for 2. Silk dyes on silk, 8 x 10 inches. © 2012 by Kathy CrabbeHappy Valentine's Day! The inspiration for this silk painting of mine came from my two best friends; Truffles and Luis aka Pin who have since passed on and into feline heaven, the lovely seaside town of Laguna Beach where I watched many a sunset, and of course my one true love, Mark Whitehouse who I've been married to for almost twenty amazing years! I am blessed indeed!

If you have a moment to spare let me know what's gonna makes your V-day a special one.

Lots going on these days, so I'm summing up the best links from my Facebook page. Enjoy!

Chad Woodward, Astrologer just started publishing this new column called Solarscopes.

Libraries are getting interesting by bringing together art and culture; that's how I received exposure to art when growing up (it was a small town!)

I was just wondering where the best art towns were in the USA and discovered this article.

Hmmm...this makes Arizona look very un-art-friendly, esp. relating to cutting edge art; something that Los Angeles is not afraid to tackle!

12 Things You Didn't Know Facebook Could Do (helpful!)

Bliss Tip for the Season: Really evaluate why you do all that you do. Is it out of obligation and expectations and standards set by others? Once gift giving, parties, etc. become stressful, they have lost meaning. ♥ ♥ ♥ (Christine Claire Reed)

"Negative thought forms bring disease, including cancer, and psychic healers working on cancer therapy have dis-covered a correlation between cancer and emotional factors, and the location of cancer sites with the type of negative thought patterns. Healing consists in changing the thought forms, along with instilling the thought form of wellness and well-being. The healer visualizes the woman being healed as totally well, and visualizes herself that way. Several American healers are working from this angle. They comment that not only must the cancer patient change her thought patterns, but people around the cancer patient, her mate and family, must change theirs as well." Diane Stein, The Women's Book of Healing

The Circle Expands

Capricorn Goddess. Watercolor on board, 8 x 10 inches © 2010 by Kathy Crabbe. It's Spring Equinox and I've done it; expanded the Creative Soul Circle to include all sorts of wonderful goodies for my Soul SiStars wanting MORE!!! More juicy content such as the brand new Moon Musing Playsheets created exclusively for Circle members, plus you can now partake in my Awaken Your Divine Feminine Soul eClass in the Circle (75. for a one month class) and receive your own personal moon chart which will help you resonate even more with Mama Moon each month.

I've got channeled Moon Musings written and dreamed by me every new moon chock-full of helpful and challenging actions, creative soul oracle guidance and affirmations to keep you on track and inspired.

Plus we've got Special Guest Q & A's beginning with astrologer Chad Woodward in April and then in May we've got Emily Trinkaus, two astrologers who have been regularly featured here on my site and much more.

If you've got a business or service you'd like to promote, then my Circle offers you a chance to be featured on my blog and in the Q & A discussion thread, so we can all get to you know you better.

And so you may ask, why am I offering all these goodies for such a reasonable price...well, it's just how things work out...I started out blogging in tune with mama moon, and after two years of offering you my moon musings, I've decided it's time to share them within a private group that can really dig into them deeply within a safe space.

My eClass just fit in so perfectly with all this, that I had to offer it too, because everything in the Circle is connected and builds upon everything else, so once you've had a small taste of moon musing, many of you wanted much more...more connection, more challenges, more quiet space without a lot of chatter or time wasting - we get right down to it every new moon.

So, there you have it and so the journey begins...and I hope you can join with me on March 19, 2011 for a Full Moon in Virgo Shared Focus Meditation so that we can come together as a virtual meditation group at the exact moment of the Full Moon to dream our dreams, and watch as our seeds of intention planted at the new moon start to flower and fruit PLUS let's not forget the Spring Equinox ...when the entire year truly begins anew...are you ready?

4 Tips To Protect Your Strengths

Libby. Watercolor on paper, 8 x 10 inches © 2010 by Kathy Crabbe. This month in our Creative Soul Circle we are delving into the topic of how to protect our strengths (last month we looked at pin-pointing our strengths).

Questions to ask yourself

  • What are my strengths?
  • What are my weaknesses and how are they undermining me?

Protect Your Strengths ~ 4 Tips

  1. Pinpoint your top three strengths and remind yourself what they are on a regular basis.
  2. Write a Strength's List and carry it with you everywhere.
  3. Keep a copy of your Strength's List on your computer and update it regularly.
  4. Post your Strengths List in a prominent place in your home and work space.

To join the conversation, please sign up here for my Creative Soul Circle ~ it's free, for Soul SiStars only!

"Libby ~ On a Quest for Quiet air" is part of my Creative Soul Card® Series which I incorporate into my Creative Soul Readings. More oracle cards can be found here: http://tiny.cc/d0rwm
