Love Fear Ritu Ghatourey from Mish

Journey Notes

The theme for the month of May is “fear” and “love.” Special thanks to ♥Mish♥ for today’s quote. If you have a favorite quote about fear, love or both, please let me know!

Your Creativity

As always, we would love to feature your creative visions. When we show each other what we find beautiful, we get a glimpse into each others’ hearts. ♥.

May you find joy every day of your journey through life.

Here’s what’s happening ☼ under1000skies ☼

WANT AD

“Want Ad” is part of a short-story compilation called 12 TALES coming soon on Amazon as an eBook. 12 TALES takes place over 12 months, a story for each month, with one central hub, Sadie’s Diner (“Thin Threads.“) We’re pledging 50 percent of the profits from the sale of Twelve Tales and 100 percent of the profits from ELANTHIAN LOVE SONGS to the purchase and shipping of artist packs for homeless creatives. Special thanks to “Johnny O” (John Olander), Denver poet, artist, photographer and change-maker, for the critical review of “Want Ad” and encouragement. ♥

Painting “My Prayer” by Niki Flow. Shantideva was an Indian Buddhist monk who lived in the 8th Century. This prayer spoke to my heart. I’m not a holy Buddhist monk, but I can do small acts where I am with great love, too, one beautiful day at a time. ♥.

This will be made into note cards for our stationary store, under1000skies.com and will be included in Rx-for-Healing – the Power of Color and Opposites. For me, this quote would go under the tab, “Awakened” to be read whenever I feel the opposite: asleep, numb, addicted, closed-minded, judgemental (etc.).
