Who Does She Think She Is?

                             

New Documentary film about women balancing lives as artists and mothers. 
Directed by Pamela Tanner Boll, co-directed edited by Nancy C Kennedy


        I was so touched by this movie that I had to post it on my blog. Everything that it is said there is so true....
        
                     tell me what you think about it, I'd love to hear your opinions 
Here is one opinion on motherhood- 
      "Motherhood Is Art…Balancing the art of motherhood and creativity can sometimes come easy but many times it is quite a task to master. 
       With the interventions of life and motherhood, I must say that my creative spirit took a back seat for quite some time.
     So, as I grow up and as each day sets and rises, I hope to become an artist, but not just the kind of artist that creates beautiful paintings and decadent designs, but the kind of artist that also creates a masterpiece within my family.…sculpting each of my kids as you would on a potters wheel..with gentleness, creativity, and thought. We as mothers are all artists…as we bring out the art of life with each creative moment that we offer up to our families."

Happy Valentine's Day :)

 L-o-v-e. The four letters that were instrumental in the genesis of life. Without love there cannot be life. L-o-v-e may be a crisp four-letter word but it is the one word that transcends generations, geographies, and cultural diversities. 

Love exists in all aspects of life

I wish you all a happy Valentine's Day, and hope not to forget that we should in fact celebrate love and passion everyday of our lives

"As I begun to love myself"- Charlie Chaplin

sixthandmain shop on Etsy

As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering
are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth.
Today, I know, this is "AUTHENTICITY".

As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody
As I try to force my desires on this person,
even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready
for it,
and even though this person was me.
Today I call it "RESPECT".

As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life,
and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to
grow.
Today I call it "MATURITY".

As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance,
I am in the right place at the right time,
and everything happens at the exactly right moment.
So I could be calm.
Today I call it "SELF-CONFIDENCE".

As I began to love myself I quit stealing my own time,
and I stopped designing huge projects for the future.
Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do
and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own
rhythm.
Today I call it "SIMPLICITY".

As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for
my health -
food, people, things, situations, and everything the drew me down and
away from myself.
At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism.
Today I know it is "LOVE OF ONESELF".

As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right,
and ever since I was wrong less of the time.
Today I discovered that is "MODESTY".

As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and
worry about the future.
Now, I only live for the moment, where everything is happening.
Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it "FULFILLMENT".

As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me
and it can make me sick.
But as I connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally.
Today I call this connection "WISDOM OF THE HEART".

We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of
problems
with ourselves or others.
Even stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds are born.
Today I know "THAT IS LIFE"!
