Happy New Year! The start of the year is a time of new beginnings, and I’m thrilled to have you here with me on this incredible journey. You’re helping me share my art and my mission with the world. I’m very grateful that you read my blog and newsletter and connect with me on social media. You are the best! I’ve been focusing on spreading the word, and it’s working.
My Mission
We are here to embrace our authentic nature and to live with kindness and gratitude. I create art that feeds your soul by sparking wonder and joy. Cultivating joy helps you tap into your spirit enabling you to fulfill your highest purpose.
When life knocks you off your path, leaving you feeling disconnected and blue, a meaningful piece of art infused with positive, loving energy can shift your state of being back into alignment.
At the beginning of each year, I plant the seeds for what is to come. I’m planning on growing and expanding in all the areas of my life that matter most to me:
• Deepening my spiritual practice
• Relationships with friends, family and a new romance
• Healthy diet, exercise and a clean slate from the doctor
• Successful art enterprise
• Financial security
• Travel, entertaining, and more fun.
• Showing up as the best version of myself
2022 was a great year for travel. I visited New Orleans, Paris, Prague, Salzburg, Vienna, Budapest, Montauk, and Provincetown. In 2023 I’m planning on visiting Iceland, Spain, and Holland. Please let me know if you have any tips!
Resolutions don’t usually stick, so I suggest you make a plan. It’s important to know that what you measure can improve. Start by evaluating where you are now, and then take the time to envision where you want to go. Every January, I create a vision board to help me to reach my goals. it's a constant visual reminder of what's important to me. This is a magical process that sets you on a course to blossom. I want you to succeed!
On a train from Salzburg to Vienna I drew the Prague castle. I love the inspiration that comes with traveling!
Once I'm clear on my vision, I write a gratitude statement as if my vision has already manifested. It helps me to stay focused on what I want rather than where I am. The full process I use is called “The Gratitude Formula.” It’s a fantastic book by May McCarthy. I attended one of her workshops a few years ago and embraced her technique for manifesting. I’ve found it extremely helpful when I feel stuck, fearful, or caught in a loop of procrastination. Gratitude always seems to be the way forward.
With a vision board and the Gratitude Formula, you have the tools and a process to stay focused. Now you can plant the seeds of intention and grow a beautiful garden filled with all your dreams. This is a year to blossom into the exquisite flower you were born to be. I look forward to seeing you bloom. I'd love to see a picture of your vision board. Contact me if you need additional guidance on creating it or on the “The Gratitude Formula.”
I wish you and yours an abundance of good health, happiness, and limitless blessings in 2023. The best is yet to come.
Love,
Leslie
