Dreams. Some are good and some are bad. Most of us have had those nightmares…the ones where we awake in a cold sweat, confused and trying to get our bearings. Other dreams are so bliss filled and amazing that we are beyond disappointed when we awake to find it wasn’t real…and many of us try to go back to sleep in a desperate attempt to pick up where the dream left off. This week I’m focusing on bringing that bliss filled dream state into my waking life. I want to bring the amazing joy and wonder that dreams hold into my everyday. I want it to hold my hand while we skip through the park together. I want that bliss to be my constant companion. I want boundless joy for me, my family, and you. A good place to start is with gratitude, so let’s rock some, shall we?
Jump for Joy:
The Waking Dream Edition
The Photon Extraordinary exhibit opens at Springbox Gallery TOMORROW!!!! SQUEEEEEEE! I know I have mentioned it about a billion times and you probably feel like I’m beating you over the head with it, but I’m just so damn excited! I can’t contain my joy! I wish I could be there to see it in person…but I’m so there in spirit. This is a dream I can check off my to-do list. I’ve worked towards this for years and I’m thrilled to see it come to fruition. * Now that I’ve almost broken my arm from all the back patting…*wink wink*…I am working on a great new project. I’m creating a series of limited edition artist skulls just in time for Halloween. I’m having so much fun working on these I’m having a hard time sleeping. I just want to work and work and work some more. I’m almost done with my first one and I promise I’ll post a pic when it’s finished. * Much needed help from unexpected sources. * Alex Franzen telling you why your website makes her all sad inside. I must admit I am guilty of the Coming Soon criticism…and writing in the third person. Sometimes it just makes Alli feel more comfortable when she’s talking about herself to not write in the first person. She’s shy like that. * New business cards. I ordered some AWESOME ones from Minted…and they were free. Free always makes me happy…unless it’s something awful like free STDs or free ass-whoopin’s. I’ll pass on those. * My new, as yet unnamed photo series. It’s shaping up to be puuuuuurty and dramatic. * My husband. He’s so smart. Seriously. He’s freaky smart. If you ever need to know anything about history, religion or scooters, he’s your man…well…my man, actually, but you know what I mean. * Coffeemate Italian Sweet Cream coffee creamer. It’s sooooo good. It makes my tummy happy in the mornings. * My family. They rock, plain and simple. * My kitty, Mischa the wonder cat. He always, Always, ALWAYS makes me smile. * You. I love you guys. You are why I do what I do. As a way to say thank you I want to give you a free issue of Your Daily Dose…on the house. Just click here to get it.
I hope you have amazing dreams this week and every week forever and ever. Smooches to you, my dears.
Kisses & Chaos,
