You love the daily lessons from A Course In Miracles, but don’t always have the time to squeeze each lesson into your busy day, right? What’s more, there was something missing from the lessons in the Big Blue Book to keep you engaged each and every day.

So ditch those Social Media apps and close your games and spend a moment diving deep in to the meaning of life, and what it all means,  even as you are sitting on the train counting backpacks and umbrellas from your fellow commuters.

But Wait- There is MORE = We Added COLOR!

What if we told you that we used our secret, crafty, creative powers to take your study of A Course In Miracles to the next level by adding an element of COLOR to your day?

Bullet Journals: Help for Busy Brains

Dot or Bullet Journals: Help for Busy Brains

Are you curious about those funny, dotty bullet journals?

Well you are in the right place.

Read on to find out why we have started to create Bullet Journals.

What are Bullet Journals?

Also called Dot Journals they are blank page type journals filled with tiny dots instead of lines. These dots are flexible and give some structure to each page – I tend to go all over the place when faced with a blank page type journal so those dots help me create pages with a little bit of a foundation.

Uses for a Bullet Journal:

I  use bullet journals for writing, and doodling combined.  I start to lay the foundation for an idea, and then draw or sketch out some part of the idea nearby.

Here are other ideas:

  • Travel scrap book/ Journal  – Start before you go and plan, then use the Journal as you travel to record thoughts and stick in maps, tickets, etc…
  • Set up a to-do list by the day or week on a page– Use the dots to form squares and tick or color them in when you have competed a task.
  • The Dinner struggle is real! – Get a Bullet Journal to help keep track of your meals each week and then have a way to quickly look back over a few weeks so you can rinse & repeat successful meals/ weeks.
  • Use to plan a party or event – Keep dates, RSVP’s, ideas found on the internet, even seating plans or cake drawings all in one place as you plan out an event or fund raiser.
  • Organize Holidays – Create a gift giving guide for those on your list to stay on top when you get an idea, what it is, and when you gave it away.

There are so many uses for a Bullet Journal – Let us know how you are using a bullet journal to simplify your life below:

Coloring Books in the News!

Grown ups and coloring books are all the rage &

for good reason

Beyond what the Nightly News talks about there is something to be said about stepping away from the high stress – go go go – mentality that we have all grown so accustom. We need time to create in a calm and judge free way.

Coloring books for adults do just that. Add in some mantras and now you can even color your day in positivity.

Mantra Mandalas Coloring Pages: Yoga For Your Brain

Mantra Mandalas Coloring Pages For Fun & Relaxation- Powerful Coloring So Twisty it’s Yoga For Your Brain!

Want to learn more about Mantra Mandalas Coloring Pages?

Yippee! you are in the right place.  Keep reading to learn all about our twisty word-based Mantra Mandalas that take Adult Coloring to the next level.

Coloring, Mandalas and More!

You like to color – we do too – but we felt something was missing as we colored. — We wanted something more than butterflies and secret gardens.

We wanted Mindfulness. Peace. Calm

The kind you get after a lovely meditation session, deep sleep or a relaxing day at the beach. Yet we wanted to recreate that peaceful feeling anytime, daily, and especially  as a break anytime – including right in the middle of our busy life.

We continued to search – and then we created what we could not find, a Mantra Mandala.

Mantra Mandals are Word Based Mandalas that allow you to get to a deeper sense of relaxation and mindfulness.

  • Focus on the word or affirmation – let it soak in as you color the powerful abstract Mandalas.
  • Choose powerful colors to create or uplift your mood.
  • Color the Mandalas and have fun as you relax and feel empowered.

Enjoy the feeling of deep relaxation, peace, and joy  as you have fun coloring!

Therefore we say: Coloring so powerful it’s Yoga For Your Brain.

Our unique Mantra Mandalas are word based art- Each one is created using a special process that starts with a word, such as LOVE, Forgiveness, or Thank You. Then the creative FUN begins and the results are that no two Mandalas are ever the same.

Facebook Page: Make A Professional-Business Facebook Page

/in /by

Learn how to create a Professional /Business

Facebook Page in 5 Easy Steps!

 

Are you a professional with a public persona?

Then you need to create a Professional facebook page!

 

Are you a writer, actor, director, musician or other professional and want to be able to network on Facebook?

Do you want to connect with people that you meet, without mixing them in with your close friends & family?

 The solution: Create a

Professional Facebook Page.

 

A professional Facebook page allows people to follow you and your work but not see all the personal photos and updates from your family.

 

Here is how to create a Professional facebook page in 5 easy steps!

Step One

Log in to your facebook account and look on the navigation bar (the far left side of the page). See where it says PAGES- click on the MORE button right next to it. Note: You may need to hover over the area for the MORE to appear.

facebook2-2

 

Step Two

On the next page, click CREATE A PAGE (in the center, right)

facebook1-1

 

Step Three

Select the kind of page you want to have from the choices:

facebook3

 Most of you will want to choose the lower left box:  Artist, Band or Public Figure.

BUT good to know that you can make a page about your business, a local cause or something going on in your community too!

Step Four

Add your information – about page etc… Remember this is a Public Profile, so be sure to keep it professional and only share what you are comfortable with.

* * * Don’t forget to add your profile picture and your cover photo!

Step Five

Now you are ready to Rock!

Make your first post … or two!

Now is also the time to invite the right people on your friends list to like your new Page. You know, those people who are more in the category of “business acquaintances” or “fans” than your close friends and family members.

 Enjoy your new, Professional facebook page!

 Now you can make updates about your Professional life to keep everyone up to date on what you are doing. NICE!

 

Not sure what to talk about? Try one of these ideas:

  • What you are doing/ most recent (book you wrote, performance you are working on or just finished, movie, etc…)
  • Museum that you just visited
  • What you are cooking today
  • Beautiful sunrise/ sunset that you captured on location

Don’t forget to have fun!

*** Remember you can add to your professional/ Business Facebook from your mobile phone too! 

Just click MORE at the bottom, right side of your screen and access your favorites & pages on facebook!
