Changes

I have been thinking of it for some months now and now it's time.

I've been blogging about my works, selling on Etsy, knowing many wonderful people and artists, but I have also been leaving my real life float in a sea of habits and routine.

Now

IT'S TIME TO CHANGE!

No, I'm not closing my blog and leave all my friends.

I need to make changes in real life and in the web one, too.

I want to live a better life.

I want to improve my art.

I want to seriously start selling my art.

I want to rediscover my spiritual gifts.

I want to share more with you.

I want to have fun doing all those things.

But to do that I need to learn. "LEARN" was my 2012 word, do you remember? 

I've been attending art e-courses and learned so much.

But I realized that making art for sale without knowing the basics of Internet Marketing leads to nothing. 

Last year I first saw an ad about a Goddess Circle run by a sweet lady called Leonie. 

She was promoting it with these words: "The Goddess Circle gives you an incredible resource library of my programs, courses + workbooks to help you transform every area of your life... from home, health, creativity, soul to business."

(click for info)

 I've been keeping track of that website and then decided to subscribe to the newsletter.

Yesterday I made my decision: I signed in for the Goddess Circle and today I'm starting my first Biz Goddess E-Course! I've devoured the ebook and cannot wait to view the videos!  I know it will be helpful and I needed to share with you.

Leonie is offering an annual membership for $99 until July 3rd. After that date the price will double. The annual membership gives you the opportunity of following every e-course she offers, meditation kits, freebies, forums and everything present in the website.

If you want to know more about the Goddess Circle or want to view some of the FREE stuff Leonie offers (an ebook, too), just click the links above.

So, my dear friends, since next month I'll be changing something in my blog. Stay tuned! :)

******************************************************

And now I have to thank my fellow blogger Julia from  LIFE AS ART for her wonderful gift!!

Some weeks ago I won her giveaway. The package arrived yesterday!! :)

I took a couple of photos. The book has many pages and goodies in it and it's WONDERFUL!!

Thank you again, Julia! I'm really proud to own it! 

 

All Together NOW Blog Party & Giveaway!

I know I'm a bit late, but yesterday was a busy day for me. So I'm joining the party today.

If you want to know what this Blog Party is about, please visit Amy's blog at AMY and find a huge number of Giveaways waiting for you! :)

And now to the BRAGGING!

You know, I'm a very reserved person and I don't like bragging. But I usually make people laugh telling stories about my disastrous adventures.

Like that year that I was following an English course in England (I was 14) and the teacher decided we had to have a horse ride. Unfortunately for me, the horse keeper didn't fix the saddle well.... At one point my horse started galloping away and the saddle climbed to his neck. When he stopped to eat a daisy we were on the edge of a ravine! He stopped and I fell, rolling like a stone, for about 50 feet. Ehehehe!! And you know, I didn't hurt myself at all!

I could go on for hours telling stories about my tumbles.... from stairs, tube, sheets of ice.... I never broke anything, but my back is ruined.

What more?

I'm a 40something gal from Italy and I usually call me a "Phoenix", because I always revive from my ashes.

I suffer from depression and have high and lows. But I don't want to take pills and try to "fight" it by myself. Until now it looks like I've been successful. Sometimes I have months-long periods of darkness, but I use them to clean my head and restart again.

And I must say that drawing has helped me very much with this, because when I draw I enter a world of mental stillness that allows me to calm down my brain. I crave for silence and work as a cashier in a self-service, where the noise is at maximum levels and my co-workers are all very noisy individuals. So, when I come home I really enjoy some silence and relaxing time.

Well, this post is becoming too long, now.

Let's talk about my Giveaway.

I'm offering one of my Matrioskas to one lucky person!

You only have to visit and comment.

I will choose the winner on May 23rd.

And now, let's go visit my blog party fellows!!!
