Topic: HI
Good Monday Morning---I am noticing that my last post was on Friday the 16th, which was TEN DAYS AGO!! How did that happen? I am sure that I was catapulted through the time space continuum at an alarming rate last week-which left little time for sitting in front of this little device. For those of you with ABANDONMENT issues...Never Fear---Mandalafly is ALWAYS with you.
So, briefly-some of the high points of the last ten days...Dreams have been SUPER intense....I had a dream on the night of the Spring Equinox about having a baby---I was with a group of friends and did not appear to be very pregnant, but then-ready or not-I went through the whole delivery process...then went to dinner as if that were not unusual. Ahhh...Spring...time to birth the "babies" we've been incubating through the fall and winter. I feel like I am about to have Quintuplets!!! Further along the week-dreams of tornadoes...(but only for show---no harm done).
Later in the week I was invited to be a part of a group of practitioners that are getting together to raise money for a children's center in Mongolia. The Lotus Center, www.lotuschild.org (which looks like a great place to go if you want to meet Angelina Jolie or Madonna---OH-sorry-my evil twin MandalaBat) takes care of abused and abandoned children and operates on private funding. We are having a day of healing for them on May 19. I will talk more about it after the info meeting this weekend.
Thursday and Friday I went to a seminar for artists. It was presented by a man named Bruce Baker, who is a jeweler, and has done trade shows and the like for years. He is also a writer for the "Craft's Report" magazine, and an image consultant for art businesses. His seminar was EXTREMELY informative. We covered booths, booth materials, trade shows, work, slides, juries, and all of the other little hoops you have to jump in order to make a go of it in the "real world" of Art Sales. Sigh---it was inspiring, and informative and very pertinent to my little business. Now to actually IMPLEMENT the ideas!!! All of this just in time for Saturday Market to start April 7---WOW!
On that note, if you don't hear from me for a few days...you should have an idea of why...I'm sure you can find things to keep you busy too...I'll be in touch---Mandalafly's Honor!!!
