Law of attraction? The word is out. There are many materials and work shops that would love to have your money to learn what is something that as human beings we all ready know. Nobody taught me to breath. We are given instincts at birth and from birth we are taught away from our instincts. We give much attention to others ambitions and experiences and forgive our own instincts. We are all creators and all must create. If you just get to know yourself and proceed with what makes you feel good and to not give attention to what makes you feel bad, then you will have law of attraction. I have never studied or been taught any formal religion. What I have learned from my experiences though seamily is taught by all religions and those who call themselves spirtual. Law of attraction to me is your basic intincts. To understand what you already know nobody can teach you that. j.k.

Comment on Tuesday’s Business-Know Your Customers/Collectors by acrawley63

Thanks Susan and Steve for you support and compliments.

Steve, art shows are quite variable and even moreso the last couple of years. When starting out, I suggest selling in different venues, including shows, consignment galleries, and wholesale if you’re ready to go that route. Our challenge these days is to think outside the box and go beyond the traditional sales venues. Good luck!

Brenda,

I love your wisdom on this subject. The words that came to mind were “what goes around comes around” or “that which you give so shall you receive.” Promoting good karma is indeed a great way to live.

Dora,

Yes, life does have a way of tossing challenges at us. One of my favorite quotes is “It isn’t the problem but how you react to it.” That in itself can be a learning experience and a challenge. But it is true; how we react to the problem impacts our ability to get handle it.

Karen,

I agree; those who are the “experts” make it seem so easy. But I also think that by admitting to the “hard work,” we acknowledge that we are not perfect and our ego has a hard time with that. We are better to admit that some days we “hit the wall,” go through the struggle, and come out better on the other side.

Comment on Art Date: Frida Kahlo Art Exhibit by lizchager

Amy,
The Frida retrospective came to San Francisco this summer. As a long-time Frida admirer I was eager to go, even though I’ve been lucky enough to see most of her works in various museums (Mexico, Europe, US). The experience of this “blockbuster” show caused me to reassess not only Frida’s work, but whether it still had meaning for me. I invite you to join in the conversation at

I’ve been struggling with that very same question lately myself, Amy. Just like in meditation where you have to sit very still, breathe and not get caught up in your thoughts, I find it very challenging to not get caught up in all of the “drama” of my life and the lives of those around me. All of the self-help books I read/listen to and the webcasts I watch somehow make it appear natural and easy to live this way, the way of setting intentions for your life and living in the present moment. I find it darn hard work most of the time! Just do this and you will be happy. Just do that and you will be in balance. And my ego just loves it when these feelings start to come up, I know. I guess the bottom line is that we’re all human and go through cycles in our daily lives that are just like the cycles of the seasons. Sometimes we’re in full bloom with things and sometimes all of the growth is going on underground. I try to embrace whatever I’m going through or feeling (again, very hard!) because good or bad, light or dark, it’s all me. Thanks for sharing. I’m going to go back and read Christine’s post, too.

I hear ya, Amy ! I have always found it very difficult to live in the moment and to align myself with the universe…And those times when I do achieve it are quickly interruped by so-called ‘real life’- the garbage disposal breaks down (this actually happened to me 2 months ago!), the new electric bill arrives and is 21% higher than the last one, my cat gets injured and has to go to the vet…The stillness is easily obscured, but the noise seems to push it’s way to the front with minimal effort…Serenity is hard work…Sounds like a contradiction doesn’t it?
