Greetings fellow travelers,

My latest Native American flute playing video I created on my Artist’s Date:

Buffy’s Check In Jan. 18, 2012

I dug out my colorful notebook with the native girl hugging a cute polar bear and wrote in my Morning pages. At one point, I found myself in tears. When I write my Morning Pages I write letters to Dear Great Creator. Sure I pray throughout the day in various ways, but I find writing my prayers is a special way to connect to my higher power. So, I decided to do my Artist’s Date today as well. I decided I was going to put on my handmade ribbon shirt and blue and white beaded necklace and play my Native American flute. I recorded myself while I was playing and channeled a song “I’m Home” which I uploaded to YouTube. Then I decided to go for a walk and went to a neighbor. While there, she gave me a handmade paisely ribbon dress and skirt, purple dress, and a black dress, and four books on Women’s Native American stories. The best was synchronicity I was just thinking about how wonderful time I had in college when I filled my little sketch book of my favorite images and low and behold she gave me an artist’s quality sketchbook. Then I ran into my art professor who I had made the original sketchbook too. I am telling you the blessings were raining down on me today. I just took it step at a time in my creative recovery today and now my cup literally runneth over. A friend recently posted a link about how holistic healing pow wow dancing is and I started to imagine myself regularly dancing to pow wow music in my home. That would make me very happy. I talked with a woman who does art journal collages and I have an invitation to go to her house and generate heArt and soul journal. She even offered me a ride home!

Warm regards,
Buffy
