The Dreamy Color Pink Stands Out



The dreamy color pink stands out at the beach, especially darker shades.  When I go to the beach I tell my friends to look for the pink beach towels hanging on the back of my beach chairs.  I think it is an easier color for the eye to distinguish with all the light and background action going on.

Mochi Ice Cream

Tasting new things is enlightening!  Mochi is a Japanese style
ice cream treat wrapped in rice paper. It isn't something I would want to eat all the time as I don't care for the outer shell of rice paper. 

But, it seems they sell several of these so there are evidently many people who do like them.  Trying something new can make your whole day.

Pastel Candy Rings

How many ways could I become inspired to create art from this photo?

Is this sugar coated candy or is it a stack of inflatable flotation rings covered with sand?

Today, I think I will create a project and paint something around the house in these luscious colors.  What could be found or purchased cheaply?

I already have some pastel acrylic paint in these colors.  It will be fun.

Art Deco

This building at the Mercato in Naples is new, but it sort of looks Art Deco Style to me.  Art Deco, think 1920's, 1930's, mauve's, browns.  The style first started in France. 

Today I will start a project to research the Art Deco era.  I want to research the styles, the artists, the places that provide examples of this era.  Maybe I will create an Art Deco project?

Getting Unstuck Helps to Invigorate the Brain's Sluggish Groove.  Having a new perspective feeds creativity.

If Life Gives You Lemons

My friend wrote something funny in response to the statement:

If Life Gives you Lemons You.......

She said, "Don't let them squirt you in the eye"

That's right.  Make those juicy lemons go to work.  Smile through the sour.  This can be difficult at times, but will I be any worse for it 10 years from now.  Dodge the Lemon Attack. 

Besides lemons are good for my health?  Right?  Keep eyes upon the prize!

Pink Dreams in Paradise to You!

Travel Dreaming

I imagine that I am on a European vacation today.  The sidewalks are lush.  The food is out of this world.  What would I do if I did not live in America.  Who would I be if I had grown up in Europe.                                                             

For one day, I will unlock my mind and get a good travel book about Europe.  Wandering the sidewalks around town I can be in Europe in my imagination. 

What sort of dish can I order, can I try an English accent when I order?  Will I bump into some European tourists and talk with them?  Can I secretly pretend they are my cousins?  Pink Dreams in Paradise to You!

Putting Dreams into Action

Putting dreams into action is necessary to make them happen.  Thinking about the goals often inspires me to write them down. 
Once written down, then a solid plan needs to be formulated to make things happen. 
The real learning comes with the discipline to be consistent and carry the steps forward to completion. 
Completing a step of the dream is so satisfying.  It puts me in touch with my dream and my dream becomes a part of my world. This is the magic of getting unstuck.
Pink Dreams in Paradise to You!
