love and anger

To experience love, you must feel your own anger.

If you want to feel more love, you must allow yourself to feel your anger. If you are afraid of anger, find a good therapist (who's not afraid of anger!) to help you learn safe, constructive ways to experience and express anger. Underneath anger, there is always some way you've been hurt or some way you've given your power away. When you uncover and express the hurt, the healing can take place. When you learn to assert your needs and feelings directly, you'll feel less anger. Eventually, you will feel love and compassion toward the person you were angry at.
Our natural state is love when it is not blocked by repressed emotions. Our spirits automatically feel love. When we embrace and make peace with our own feelings, we will recognize the being in others and feel love for them.

Affirmation -
I am learning to feel and express my anger appropriately and constructively.


Me to a 't' at the moment. Moody as hell and can't work out why. Maybe PMS, but never experienced too much of that.
Whilst designing for Lido and speaking with my boss, I picked up the book 'Awakening' by Shakti Gawain and flicked through to today's date, and this passage totally resonated with me. Although, I don't think it's me angry too much at anyone else, it's more that my body is angry for not enough meditation and quiet time.

Best work on that.

I just recieved my DianaF+ camera! The courier just dropped it off, and so today is the beginning of a new adventure.

Remember that book?

It's surely where you'd fine these enchanting new pieces from New York fashion and jewellery designer, Molly-Hanna.

the very first

Perhaps a moment for a wee celebration?

I got my first blog comment today! And this means that someone (other than those special friends and family) is perusing my creative ramble!

Check out her blog:

Lovely.

hording, still

An image I snagged sometime ago.
From the Bon Iver site... I'm pretty sure.

Currently playing - Re: Stacks.

Admittedly, just now I found this. I love the new song from Marina & the Diamond's hitting my JJJ. I just found that the last quote in this blog entry from the said artiste's was gorgeous.

"Success is not permanent.
The same is also true of failure"
- Marina

And I have to admit - I'm still inlove with quills, darling.

I tend to sit at work, or wherever and conjure all these ideas, muses, THINGS that I'd like to share here on this Untitled Creative Journal and so upon going through the 'horded' files on my Mads here - it's about time I put them up.

Interesting or not. Once, they were.

I really want to paint one of the walls on my balcony with chalkboard paint like this... add in a couple of plants, some 'erbs and a bird.

 

Lagerfield... Germany's finest fashion-everything?

Well, he's certainly got this Alice In Wonderland theme down-pat... Perhaps he should have come to my party?

In the early days of my quill obsession...

I'm still yet to really create an identity for my freelance company, For The Quill And Ink, though don't you always find yourself the most self-critical? I'm not that makes sense, but it always hard to capture all of your essence... you always want to add something more. Like, should I keep 'For The Quill And Ink' for my own personal rambling and muses and think of another company name OR roll with what I first loved...?

Ahhh... creative soul that can't make a decision? Mmm-hmph.

bringing sexy back

For this Vogue photoshoot, Nicole Kidman, has lost her dyed blonde locks for her natural red - and I couldn't be more pleased. Blonde is a phase I went through myself, but knowing how nice it is to be natural again - I tip my hat to Ms. Kidman.

Let's face it - how many It Girls are donning the ginger locks? And those gorgeous copper tones!

Embrace your red I say! Stay au naturale.

I love it!
