How to Get Inspired To Get Things Done

Full Moon in Capricorn Inspiration

Dear Intuitive Soul,

As many of you know I'm writing a Guidebook for my soon-to-be-published Lefty Oracle Deck and I'd like to share the card I chose for this Capricorn Full Moon - may it inspire your own Moon Magick this month.

Ulrica Could Handle Anything: When Ulrica appears in a soul reading It’s time to get serious, take charge and get ‘er done! Put on your action cap or your thinking cap or whatever cap you need to help you focus on what’s important. If you’re a woman this may mean accessing your animus or your inner male – the part of you that thinks in a linear, goal focused way. If you’re a man it’s time to tap into your inner male. Whether male or female take a moment to honour yourselfand recognize all you’ve achieved so far in your life.

In my own personal life I gain daily focus by writing a to-do list every morning after breakfast; a list that is actually do-able so that I can gain much needed satisfaction from checking things off my list.

MEGA HUGE Lefty Art Exhibit

I'll be exhibiting all 52 originals from myLefty Oracle Deck on August 4 - 7 along with 15 other artists who participated in The 52 Project; a part of Riverside Art Museum's "Art Make" - a group of creative people who found inspiration and motivation from one another while working on a 52-week, self-directed art journaling project. Here's a recent interview I gave on a feminist blog sharing some insights about my experience. If you feel inspired by The 52 Project and would like to make a donation to the Museum in my name to help keep this Project going please make your donation here.

In the Lefty Spotlight: Diane "Annie" Mathias - How Left Hand Writing Changed My Life: "I remember when the hand specialist spoke those dreaded words, "You won’t be able to use your right hand anymore." At first his words were foreign, spoken in a language I didn’t understand.   What?  What was the doctor saying? How could I, a writer and an artist, NOT use my right hand?:  Read the entire article here. *if you want to be featured in the Lefty Spotlight email me!

Taurus New Moon: Living Your Passion

Dear Intuitive Soul,

Do you know that feeling that says to you, ‘this is what I was MEANT to do; this is WHY I’m here on Earth’. Well, that’s the energy we are going to work with this month. Take some time at this New Moon to ask yourself what that means in YOUR life and sink into how that feels. If you’re truly brave, then photograph or paint/draw that feeling or a photo of you doing your passion and share it online with the hastage #livingmypassion.

Taurus New Moon Challenge

 

Here’s my response to this month’s challenge; in this pic I’m channeling today’s blog post at my altar freshly decorated for the New Moon.

“So, I’ve been in this major creative funk as of late~ after roaming around the internet I was inspired by Kathy Crabbe and her use of her non dominant hand Lefty Drawings. I sat down and gave it a try myself and wow! I never realized I could draw with my left hand too!!! The image below (see link above) I drew and painted myself with my left hand~ I sent Kathy a note of thanks for the inspiration and she chose to spotlight it in her blog! Thanks new friend for helping me out of that slump ~ hugs” ~ Janene

I’m interviewed by The Essential Herbal Magazine

Molly: This interview was absolutely wonderful. I was able to sit in Mom’s kitchen on a warm sunny day and have a blast talking to Kathy about pretty much everything. As a natural lefty I find that my handwriting and drawing is already well, unique let’s say. I usually find myself cursing my hand or asking others if they can read my southpaw. Listening to Kathy discuss her lefty work, however, has given me more respect for my own appendages and makes me appreciate the work that I am able to accomplish with my seemingly wrong hand. Kathy has a wonderful way of seeing the possibilities as a whole and can create beautiful work based on nature and myth that is somehow playful and powerful all at once.

  1. How did you find confidence in your lefty artwork? Did you feel frustration when you started?

Kathy Crabbe began using her non-dominant hand almost twenty years ago when she felt artistically blocked. She had no idea it would have such a profound impact on her artwork but was thrilled to see the results. In the interview Kathy explained it helped her “slow down” and truly appreciate the creative process. She went on to explain that later on she learned that this is an art therapy technique called bi-lateral hand drawing that helps people slow down, calm themselves, and feel grounded.  Slowing down is a major challenge for this jump-on-in Aries Rising, but she found that by slowing down it, “helped balance everything out a little bit.”

Based upon Kathy’s experience using her left hand she was able to make an entire oracle deck based on her lefty characters that help people become more intuitive and work through issues. She says the most difficult part is actually printing with her left hand, but cannot deny the fact that this deck has helped others and herself.

Scorpio Full Moon: how to dance to the beat of your inner heart drum

Dear Intuitive Soul,

I want to have a conversation about Spring and feeling good and empowerment. On April 21 at we celebrate the Full Moon in Scorpio and we dance to the beat of our deep inner heart drum in the quiet of a shared second. In the distance life goes on, but we are still in that moment charging our inner space with deep breaths, allowing our will to be set aside. It is from this place that I greet you today and welcome you home to yourself.

Full Moon Lefty Oracle Card: “Cathann, doin’ the somnambulist twist”

As many of you know I’m going to be self publishing a Lefty Oracle Deck after eight years of using this deck for giving Soul Readings as well as in Moon Circles and classes offered at the Wise Woman University, Mt. San Jacinto College, Yoga For Life, Gypsy Luv and Inspire San Diego Studio.

What I’m working on now and what has stymied me for the past sixteen years is the writing to accompany the Leftys. Well, it’s flowing now with the help of several of my dearest friends who just happen to be amazing writers. The Lefty Oracle Guidebook is finally coming together.

This month’s Lefty Story comes with each hand signed Print and is available in my Etsy Shop.

Cathann’s Story:

I dream because I am.
And in this moment I am free.
I birth myself by the light of the night as Freedom dances me round and round.
Oh Mama, Moon Mama I answer your call with a twist of hip and a shake of thigh.
Born anew I breathe in YOU.
