The Moment is Now

I spend so much time thinking about what next that I often don't notice what I am doing at the moment. I am working on relaxing my mind so I can be open to the flow. Seems like when I am creating something the hours in my studio fly by.

My creative process, great learning resources, and ways to help the planet by repurposing are the theme of this blog. You are about to enter "the world according to Jan." Hope you find it a-musing.

Accepting the Cycles

The Autumnal equinox marks the time to once again move within.   I have noticed through the years that as the light outside wanes, I slowly move back into the house.  The summer kitchen is closed up and the patio furniture stowed away.  The last of the harvest has been preserved for the winter ahead.

This process of moving within also happens on a more personal level as I turn to my spiritual practices of meditation and yoga to shine a light that guides me through the darkness ahead.  Each year I think I will spend the winter days in the Shiva Shop designing new jewelry pieces.  Or at least, take pictures of the pieces I have created and load them in my shop. www.janeojewelry.com I have the best of intentions, but  I find my desire is to hunker down and rest in stillness.  Time to turn the wheel and embrace the darkness.
