How to become motivated to become the best version of yourself.
Strong, Independent Woman. Top Story - June 2021.
Note from the Author: To be completely honest, this is my sixth entry for the Members-Only Challenge. This contest has sparked something in me that I can hardly contain; which means I am also having trouble containing my thoughts. Every piece I write gets closer and closer to what I’m really trying to say, but it’s such a grand topic to cover in less than five thousand words. This time, though, I will focus my thoughts, feelings and desires, so that I can share with you the dream in my heart.

How to create positive energy
“Everything we are is the result of what we thought. The mind is everything. We think we become. ”~ Buddha You experience and create all sorts of different energies that affect how you feel and what you accomplish throughout your day. Some forces are powerful and easily recognizable, while others are subtle and often sound only accurate. I believe it is fair to say that everything, in a sense, is power.

Creatively In The Lines
I am a Type A, plan everything down to the minute type of person. I have been for as long as I can remember. I was that one nerd in high school that actually used the planners given to every student at the beginning of the school year; and the only one of my kind that I knew of. Moving on to college the trend stayed the same, however I even started to go so far as buy my owner planners at this point, if even to supplement the one(s) already given to me by the school. I like my life organized, I like the feeling of knowing what I am going to be doing and when and mostly I love that feeling of a task accomplished; that sense that you got done everything you needed to and making that little check when it was finished.

How To Surf Your Way Back To Life
Way back in 2005, after spending the entire summer walking the length and breadth of every beach within fifty miles as a kind of post divorce therapy, just staring at the sand from one beach to the next, I fell upon, yes actually fell upon, one of the best divorce therapies there is. Surfing on a kayak.

LORRR
My name is Lori and reside in London, Ontario, Canada. I am a mother, grandmother of two beautiful little girls and an avid crafter the majority of it being crocheting and sewing. In January of this year, I was trying to prepare myself for the 'January Blues' compiled with the 'Pandemic Blues' which I was already experiencing. I had not been able to see my grandchildren for Christmas and that was really tough enough.

A Gardening Journey
My Anticipation Have you ever looked at your messy drawer or closet and had this sudden inspiration to organize it? If you have, then perhaps a sudden urge to use your artistic creativity surfaces and you become obsessed with that one project. The excitement and joy while working on your task makes you feel alive. The anticipation of completing your project is worth every second of hard work when you can finally see the end result of your masterpiece.

Wreath Making
I have made many wreaths in the past two or three years. There was a time I used my own inspiration to design. Somewhere along the way though, after many a failed craft show, I decided to try to recreate in my style ones I saw online. I think that was the beginning of the end of my wreath making days.

Scissors on the concrete floor
Design has always been my greatest passion. When I was younger, I would create my own clothing, sketching out the final piece, tracing fabric and cutting it with my shears, and wearing the finished skirts and dresses to school. But it wasn’t until three years ago that I decided to delve into the art of handbags. I was at a consignment store in Manhattan and saw a Mulberry purse with clean stitches, perfectly sewn leather ruffles, and brass hardware. It was beautiful, but it cost $900. Looking at the steep price tag, I knew if I ever wanted a very well-constructed purse, I would need to learn how to make it myself.

Word Power
I have been fascinated by words all my life. Whether it is a funny word or a phrase, there are some that just catch my eye and melt my heart. I didn’t understand my love for what we use daily. Why was I so obsessed? What was it about these wonderful things that made me so happy?

A Perfectionist’s Paint Story
When I was a child I loved to draw, paint, and color on the walls with crayons. My love for creativity was a natural need for as long as I can remember. When I was five I began taking art classes every summer with my aunt who was fortunate enough to own her own art school. She could take an inexperienced artist, and instruct them in such a way that their art would rival Picasso. As I got older my mom wouldn’t allow me to take art classes at school, telling me that I already had that knowledge, and I needed to choose other electives in school to make me well rounded. That didn’t do much for me as all I did was change instruments every year as I hated taking anything that wasn’t art.

Tunnel Vision via Vision Board
The first step in creating the happiness that you desire and deserve is to create a plan, whether it be to create a vision board or a law of attraction roadmap, some form of an organized plan that allows you to incorporate the things you desire to fulfill your happiness is the right path to true happiness. Once you have an idea for a way to see your vision come to life, you can then start with expressing yourself creatively.
