I created this today during my SelfLove365 class today. I want to offer it to you, Karma Art style.
Here’s what you do:
1. Tell me what some of your core desired feelings are, and what you will do/are doing to feel that way.
2. Tell me your offer for the painting. Don’t be shy! Be creative, if you like. Let go of thinking what it “should” be worth. What is it worth to you?
3. I will let you know tomorrow evening if you are receiving the painting.
What will I do to feel the way I want to feel? (from the cover of my Danielle Laporte Desire Map Planner).
I will create art with other people, because that is when I am most in the flow and less in my judgemental brain.
I will create art that feels beautiful to me, that makes me happy, and not listen to the art critics and the art snobs that are in my head.
I will listen more to others.
Open
A few nights ago, I found myself contracted, and wishing Braden would do more, show me more love, touch me more, and reach out to me, and I realized how my contracted desires are one of the ways I project my story about “not being good enough” onto him. For me to feel more love, I dropped the expectation that Braden would do things for me, and did them for him instead. This simple turn-around opened my heart, and brought us into connection again.

Growth
Growth: I began writing a text to Braden today, and I deleted it all, because I suddenly saw how I was creating suffering by wanting things to be different.
Instead of pushing my partner to connect with me by communicating his feelings, I really understood today how valid his experience is, and that I can stay out of his stories, and stop projecting my stories onto him. I can allow him to be who he is, love him for who he is, and also know that I can take care of myself in whatever way is necessary (and it doesn’t have to involve him at all).
I am not perfect at this, by any means. But I think that the more I can acknowledge the times that I am able to see how I am growing, the more I am able to grow.

Send Love
“Send Love” 12″ x 12″
Some days it is difficult to send love to those who need it, because I have my own shit, my own triggers, my own stories. I am getting better at noticing when my needs are not being met, and seeing what I can do to meet those needs, instead of expecting others to meet them. And once I have met those needs, then I am able to send love.
Available HERE.
Pleasure
“Pleasure” available HERE.
<3 The amount of pleasure my body feels is a barometer for how aligned I am with my soul's desires. There's a quickening, an excitement, and arousal that happens when I am on the right track. The trick is to be aware of how my mind wants to come barging in to destroy the feeling - it is scared, and it'll do anything to stay safe (like telling me that my idea is shit, or about all the problems I will encounter if I try something new, or about how unqualified I actually am to do that thing I am feeling brave enough to do.) I am choosing to actively pursue pleasure.
Hello Fear
(click painting for details)
<3 I'm getting it, you guys. I'm feeling fear, and I am sticking around to feel it. I say hello to it and keep going. When it seems like I might be abandoned (the worst), my instinct is to run and hide, but I don't (mostly... this is definitely not a perfect process). I still have a lot to learn, I'm sure. But I feel like there is progress. Yay. A reminder to myself: this doesn't mean fear will go away. It will likely keep coming back to test me, again and again. How I deal with it will keep changing (hopefully), as I grow and learn new things. Growth on a spiral, not a straight line. (Thanks, Tymothy Roy) What progress have you noticed?
I am the Person Who Makes Me Happy
Some days it can be very easy for me to depend on my partner to make me happy. I went on a journey today…
…from doing something that made me happy (this involved working on a project that I have been putting off for a long time)…
…to sharing it with my partner…
…to feeling ignored/unheard/unimportant (one leads to another, down a spiral…) when he didn’t respond…
…to choosing to move through that feeling (by painting and simply feeling ignored, and remembering where that trigger comes from)…
…to noticing how my expectations (hoping that he will respond and comment in a positive way)…
…to realizing I am in charge of how I feel.
Today’s Lessons!
I am responsible for how I feel.
Any feelings that come up are totally ok, and worth feeling.
Working on projects (rather than procrastinating), and being busy doing things I love, helps me to feel good about myself.
Having expectations around another person’s behavior can lead to disappointment, or trigger other emotions.
I know myself well enough now to see that when I am triggered by unmet expectations, I am better off managing these myself than turning to the person who triggered it in the first place (I don’t want to look to them to “fix” it). This is a tricky one, though, because sometimes I push that to the limit, thinking I have to work things out alone. It’s totally ok to reach out to someone who is not involved in order to feel heard.
Thanks for reading.

Enter
Last night I met a human being who is 14 in earthly years, but ageless in her wisdom and humanity. She shared some of her scary things, and I shared some of mine. We painted together and we had fun. She inspired me in so many ways, and I can’t even put words together properly to convey how I feel about meeting her. So I painted this.
When we allow others to enter the dark places in our hearts, we can be truly seen and allow beauty to grow from the darkness.
This painting wants to be loved, so it is half price today. <3 http://belindafireman.com/product/enter-9-x-12/
It All Begins With Me
Today I learned a lot about myself by listening to a podcast about relationships. I learned that if I am not feeling desire for my partner, it is most likely because I am shut off and not responding to his advances, and not really listening to his needs. It is fascinating to me, because in this area in particular (desire), I have always thought it to be the responsibility of the other partner to “step it up”. I speak of taking responsibility for my emotions, but this is an area in which I was seriously not seeing myself.
This led to my painting, “It Begins With Me”. If I want more desire in my life, then it begins with me. If I want more love in my life, it begins with me. It is time to do my own work, and stop waiting for my partner to take care of it for me.
There are so many more gems in this episode (and all the podcast episodes I have listened to), including research about the 13 actions taken by couples who continue to have vibrant and fulfilling sex lives. I will listen again, and I highly recommend you do, too!
