UPDATE: What's Up, Twelve?

Chumpi Stones from Peru

The original date on which I published this post was October 19th. I couldn't stop thinking about the number 12 and various connections to it (12 Disciples, 12 Chumpis, 12 Seeds of Faith, 12 Steps, 12 Traditions, 12 Concepts, 12 Ideals, 12 Star Sigils, Angel Number 12, 12 __________ (fill in the blank). Usually, when something keeps entering my consciousness and my senses begin to become flooded with something, I know I must pay attention. My personal understanding is that the Creator (my Greater Reality) is trying to get through to me, and wants me to pray, meditate, contemplate, and perhaps DO something concerning: What's Up, Twelve? Also, I had a strong sense to invite people in my network to be a part of whatever this was becoming. 

This all led to inviting friends by text, email, and Facebook to be guest bloggers here for the month of November. I am connected to many gifted and talented people who could easily share their thoughts, experiences, stories, and creations about 12, but most are quite busy with full work schedules, don't see how this fits into what they are doing, and November was so very close. I'm happy to say that a few of them will be guest bloggers this month about the 12 (or something entirely different they want share with you and me). They are in the process of planning what they want to write. Me too! I'm not certain what I will be writing, photographing, singing, drawing, or videotaping.

Blog posts are scheduled to be made on Mondays and Fridays this month. 

A few stats for ya . . .

- Pageviews last month: 860+

- Pageviews by country (Top 5):

1) USA

2) Russia

3) Germany

4) Slovakia

5) France

While in the process of inviting people, a question came up about what I do: what is The Healing Artist Studio Project? Are you a therapist or a practitioner? In what modalities do you work? Good questions. I've been grappling with it for years now, and at this point in time, I do have a response for them, you, and me (Stayed tuned during November for a post titled: The Healing Artist Studio Project: It's What?).

Who are you? Well, I don't know who you all are but I do know in what countries most of you reside. Recently, I learned that most of you who visited this blog last month are from the USA and Russia (the Top Two countries) followed by 3) Germany, 4) Slovakia and 5) Portugal.

Welcome!

In the words of the child character, Tiny Tim, in the story A Christmas Carol written by Mr. Charles Dickens . . . "God bless us, Everyone."

Healing & the Greater Reality: Treasure Shares

Everyday is awakening to being grateful, patient, and to embracing the Creator's, Yeshua's and the angelic realms guidance (They are my primaries).

Angel-Guided Star Sigils and Star Creation is still so fresh (and to some people I know it sounds "way out there"), so I am at the beginning of the beginning, as a good friend says).

During all the Pisces energy, I discovered my "contract" that revealed a great deal about what I agreed to take on in this life: very challenging and difficult aspects/experiences/relationships to accelerate spiritual/soul growth (All that powerful BAT totem medicine in the east direction; most people could never take it and make it through!). It really is a gift because at first it SHADES light and then SHEDS LIGHT on a great deal that has caused me what I call "The Great Sadness" in the past. It has troubled me that as much as I "get" others; others don't "get" me so much. And, I have often counted myself among the "others."

Now I realize why the characters with which I most identified growing up were the Knights of the Round Table, Ivanhoe, Robin Hood, Merlin, the Thief of Bagdad, Joan of Arc, and other adventurers empowered to successfully slay evil and monsters, often with magic.

Couple all this with my path to reach the many versus the few via arts and entertainment. Often I am very aware that I am swimming in the sea that also includes "the Sharks", and am grateful that Yeshua, Archangel Michael and others (Aries & Mars energy, animal totems, the prayers of family and friends) are protecting me. Outside of my "comfort" or "familiar" zone? Yes. Most days I want to stay still in the comfort of my cave, the forest, the lightworker/shaman/healer community ONLY where I feel most safe and secure, but I know I can't.

OMG! Enuff said!
