"this too shall pass" = write about it. (esp. the old mindset of "I'm going to die no matter what I eat/ whether I eat or not/ etc." but tying into a more positively spiritual perspective of "therefore, why am I panicking over food?")
cover "love like you" on piano AND fl! (go back to the old piano performance stuff in general; we wrote SEVERAL important League pieces that way through sheer inspired improvisation)

START THAT COLOR BLOG.
go back upstairs and talk to people
look into the spectrums (all level) and define colors, find centralites, etc.
work on the color realms!! define them by vibe/ scenery/ weather/ time/ etc.
review old entries-- the good ones-- and print them
do calligraphy, esp. the "painting" style ones (islamic art influence?)
post conglomerate tumblr lj updates soon
make new lj icons?
more than anything, work on being complete and happy again!

★ "in terms of internal symbolic affairs, don't worry about the 'logic'!!"

★062607= "KNOW THYSELF" means… devote time each day to STUDYING yourself… ferreting our your WEAKNESS, working at SELF-IMPROVEMENT, purifying your IMMORTAL soul…! (Rabbi Yisrael Lipkin)

★go outdoors for at least an hour every day!! PLAY. have your own recess. (observe/experiment/sort stuff) BE A KID!!

★"morning pages"= write three pages of stream of consciousness every morning. use this also as a gauge to re-tune the paths your mind goes down. FOCUS ON UNHINDERED CREATIVITY, NOT SELF-CENTERED BANTER.

★start a daily sketchbook, no pressure or obligation. think childhood!!

★"instead of always reading to my kids, we take turns making up stories by 'giving' each other three things, like an airplane, a shovel, and a pair of pants, which we have to use in a story. sometimes we pretend our pets are having conversations, and use different voices and accents to express what they might be saying, given their circumstance at the time."

★"strewing"= casually yet strategically leaving invitations for learning and creativity out for people to discover on their own, i.e. a basket of blocks, a blank sketchpad, or some nature finds from a woods walk

★WEEKLY CREATIVE EXPEDITIONS-- choose a new place to aimlessly explore!! (a park, a bookstore, a pet shop, a museum, etc.) this sense of adventure naturally nurtures one's creative process

★"if you make art the center, insisting that kids be creative, they may feel a sense of pressure. if you make inspiration the center, it spills over into art."
★"every child and parent is creative. exercising our creativity is an act of faith." -julia cameron

ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS!!!!

"Will I suffer from this?"
"Will I throw this up?"
"Will this waste my time?"

TRICK QUESTIONS:

"Will this bring me closer to Christ?"
the answer will be YES because THE SUFFERING WILL PUSH YOU THERE.

"Will I regret this?"
the answer will be NO because YOU WILL LEARN FROM THE PAIN.

THE DEVIL WILL TRICK YOU INTO BAD THINGS
