Sage Rose Inner Child Tarot -- First Ten Cards

A quiet afternoon and some markers led to this project. Unlike my first two attempts at creating a tarot, I did not attempt to be mystical or perfectionistic. Instead, I let my inner child take over. This one is not for publication, but the next one probably will be.

May it bring you glee!

Tarot . . . Still Going

My first tarot deck is nearing completion!

Images should be up in a couple of days.

In the meantime, thanks to my wonderful friends at the art market, my protective "circle" friends, and the truly inspiring members of the tarot club for being wonderful and sending good vibes my way.

Tarot In Progress

I am currently designing a tarot deck. Check back. I am tracking my progress on 43things.com.

Prints of my regular art, matted, framed, and signed, will be out this summer at First Saturday Market in the Heights.

Trade Secrets -- Why I Recommend Laura Day's book "How to Rule the World from Your Couch"

What if you found a Genie in a Bottle? What would you wish for? Just pretend. Make your wish. Outlandish, beautiful, selfish . . . it doesn't matter. Just wish. After all, you're just pretending.

. . . .

Sometimes people wonder how I get to be who I am and how I am. I would describe myself as in shape, stylish, loud, and happy. I paint bold, bright, paintings, sing, and have lots of friends. I know where the party is. What would be hard to believe is that I was once a scrawny, neglected, apologetic, nervous, lonely, and miserable English teacher. I forcibly smiled and worked myself sick while my marriage, health, and quality of life deteriorated.

What happenned? How did I get from Point A to today? Laura Day's book The Cirle taught me the art of wishing. You just wish and . . . hang on. Here it comes!

This book does not ask you to "believe" anything. Just wish, pretend, observe, and document.

Because of my incredible success with the Circle, I am now working with her book "How to Rule the World from Your Couch". It's a practical book that really gives you the edge: Intuition on the fly. Self possession. Sensing the pulse of the moment. Knowing the right word. Having the right skill. This book gets right to business, as practical as a First Aid kit, as fun as a bottle of Bubble Magic.

Also, if you're like me and enjoy fun "psychic phenomena" you can also use this book to have a great time with remove viewing, precognition, and seeing the world from someone else's perspective. Those of you have had some vivid psychic talent experiences will find practical advice on how to direct your skill, which is, by the way, very normal.

. . .

Back to that Genie in the Bottle. What if you could tuck that bottle in your purse just in case you needed a quick wish? Maybe you would need to untangle a frustrating situation, find a moment of joy, meet a friend, help someone who was hurting. You could just pull over and ask.

That would be fun! And you can do this.

You have so many abilities, perhaps hidden from yourself or formerly misdirected so that you did not recognize them. Now, you can get all your resources working together, to go from right where you are to right where you want to be. This book is about creating your own real world joy and success in your own way. I am working with it now!

You're really the genie. And your wish is your command! So, go and rule the world from your couch, or your car, or favorite park bench, or table at the coffee house. Laura's youtube videos on howtoruletheworldfromyourcouch.com will give you a preview.

Happy wishing!

Great businesses that support our work:

Frame Destination -- this place has mats, those nifty clear bags, and bags made of very sturdy bubble wrap for transporting your framed art and canvases -- and they are nice people too who run a good business, and get your order right to you. They also sent out in the past some pictures of a hawk family who was nesting on a cell tower by their office, which was very cool, gotta love a business with heart.

Zazzle.com -- if you haven't done a set of art postcards with them, try it, just set up for free and see if you like them. Come by my booth and see my Zazzle postcards. Also, nice people, good business. They contact you to make sure your order got there alright.

Imagekind.com -- check my store, innovative idea and gets your work out there, nice community of artists to talk to, my experience is it was hard to get ahold of a caring individual to answer questions, and I have not checked the quality of their printing and it is not yet time for me to get paid, but it is truly spiffy looking and you can get started for free.

Enjoy! Live long and Prosper. Make lots of money!
