my Boom (slang for "what I'm into today")




So, this feels a little weird to be revealing my dayplanner...but I've been having so much fun with doodling in this crazy little book. It came from Korea (do a search for day planners from Jetoy) and was pre-printed with calendar boxes that you fill in yourself along with their own graphics...so I have just been doodling when I wait at doctors offices, catch up on taped tv shows or when I need to download and "meditate" for a little while. What I am currently working on is making a dayplanner in my journal. It's really fun.
Came across this little blurb the other day and thought it was good enough to post it here - good advice for 2010:
"The core universal energies are encoded to love, joy, peace, and happiness. They support any activities immersed in these energies. So ANY project in which you are happily humming along because you absolutely love what you’re doing, will be successful for you. Conversely, any project which is done purely for money (without a love of the activity) will not last, and nor will the money which is gained from the loveless project. Therefore, immediately cease all activities which are engaged in purely for money. Either leave the situation, or bring some love into the activities. This is a necessity." -doreen virtue

  1. I love this advice Teesha...something that I've been drawn to lately...I read something similar in another book and heard this message in a different context through a course I'm taking...seems to me the stars are sending me a message!!

    Love your day planner..you make having "plans" and appointments look like fun!

  2. I love your day planner. I recently started a calendar in my art journal and it's a great way to unwind and empty a busy head. Thanks for the inspiration as always :-)

  4. Good advice! I believe in it, I hope it's true... Just started my full-time career in art this year and while it's very hard work (which sometimes seems futile), I get to do what I love all the time.

    I love your drawings...so colorful! I also love the quote. I have lots of books by Doreen Virtue and I really resonate with most of what she has to share.

  14. Teesha everything you do inspires me and lately my 14 year old grand daughter has started following you too. It's wonderful to see her eyes sparkle with ideas when she's visited your blog.

    Your day planner is a brilliant idea.

  15. What a wonderful idea! I LOVE that day planner. How funny, coz right before I read your blog entry I had opened a Jetoy Christmas card from a friend. I now HAVE to get a Jetoy planner!
    Thank you for all your inspiration.
    I hope your DH is doing better.

  19. Love the calendar pages! I've been thinking of making my own calendar this year. Actually I think of it every year but perhaps this year I'll actually do it.

  20. This is an amazing quote and has come at an extremely poignant time. Thanks so much for sharing.

    I came across your site/blog via the 'Artists Journal and Sketchbook' by Lynne Perella which I've had for a while now but just thought to check out the websites - glad I did!

    Would love to have a chat with you one day, such interesting things and work - love it!

    Would like to post that quote up too on my blog for others to see - hope that's okay!?

  22. I think this is wonderful advice, and probably very true. With that said, many people are happy to have any job at all right now, even one they hate. Don't mean to be negative though; doing what you love is the ultimate goal, even if you have to take a detour once in a while. Your day planner is awesome!
