New Inspirations

/in , , /by

Hiya!

Okay friends, we’ve got a few new things coming your way. We’re pretty excited about them so here we go:

First, we’ve created a new mug design and you inspired it. You have been following us for a while so you know how proud we are of our mandala art. But you might not know that it was our gratitude for you that kept us striving to create our Mantra Mandalas. We know a lot of you were disappointed when the plug was pulled on our Mantra Mandala Mugs. Well we have finally found a partner that will help us put those mugs back in your hands. To celebrate we added a splash of color as part of the new design. (Delaina’s decadent crush project.) We started with ‘Love’, because that is what we feel for you. And what better time to bring more love into the world than right now. Am I right?

Second, Delaina has finally convinced herself to try haibun poetry. You might be wondering what that has to do with new things. Well maybe it doesn’t. But she found a, new to her, poet and some great articles about writing haibun to share with you. If that sounds like something you’re interested in…click the links below:

 

And we saved the best news for last…

Kristin is ready to let you in on her secret project. It’s something we’ve been wanting to do for a while but life kept getting in the way. As it does. It’s an activity book to help with engagement and entertain the older guy in your life. We hope to have it ready in time for the Holidays. Fingers crossed, please and thank you.

We hope you are doing well, staying focused on the love there is in the world, and sharing that dynamic light that you are with the world through your voice and creations.

Let us know what you think about our new mug design. And tell us what your decadent crush project is?

In love, light, and haibun,
Delaina and Kristin

Thank you for your support and for being in our lives.

Hiya!

There are some great things we are enjoying and want to share with you.

 The fabulous Carina Bissett of “Storied Imaginarium” on Substack has published a new anthology Fractured Reveries: A Storied Imaginarium Salon full of brilliant writers. Two of those writers are Helen Patrice and Allison Pang. You can also read Helen’s poetry in our anthology Paper Birds and Allison is responsible for the gorgeousness of Paper Birds. Keep in mind these are just two of the great minds that will take you on a journey in Fractured Reveries. If you haven’t picked up a copy we highly recommend you check it out.

 Delaina just finished reading Finger Exercises for Poets by Dorianne Laux. She loved it! The book is full of poetry prompts, examples, and it is great to read the poems through Dorianne’s eyes. Delaina, being Delaina, read the book through and will now go back through the book rereading and doing the exercises. She highly recommends this book to anyone that loves the magical puzzles of poetry.

Another recommendation by Delaina for poets and writers alike is to subscribe to “Storied Imaginarium” and “Two Sylvias Press’ Weekly Muse”. She feels her writing has improved greatly since subscribing. And that they both create fun and highly supportive environments to thrive within. Check them out.

 Let us know what books are you enjoying right now? What are your favorite Substack subscriptions?

 In love, light, and reading,
 Delaina and Kristin

Rainbows and Peaceful Moments

Hello Friends;

We hope you are thriving through life’s moments. The challenges we face remind us of our authentic strength and that we rooted in light. Even in the moments when we can’t see our successes they are there. Just as the sun and the moon light the sky, we bring light to the world whether we believe in ourselves in any given moment or not. You are matter, your matter matters, and no matter what discouraging thing you might hear today you matter and you are loved.

Today we are sending love out into the world with poetry and music.

Delaina has decided to start sharing her poetry readings on Insight Timer along with her high vibe sounds and meditations. She has offerings that are free and part of Insight Timer Plus. Give her a listen here–Delaina on Insight Timer

 

We have added another video to our Peaceful Moments playlist.

This video is great if you are looking to: put a little pep in your step, feeling the powerful energy of the ocean, take a break, and entertain a loved one while you tackle a project.

You can find more of Delaina’s videos here at Delaina on YouTube

or more engagement videos for your loved one here at HelloCaregiving on YouTube

Let us know how you are doing.

In love, light, and purpose,
Delaina and Kristin
