Heart-Art Bundle : “The Ocean and the Abalone Shell”

I’m in heaven today and just yesterday I was in trigger-hell. Let me tell you about the heaven things…

I swam laps late this morning, it's pouring rain now, and after a long hot shower, I am writing in my warm, cozy office listening to the rain and lovely film soundtracks. 

This all feels so luxurious and is actively living the dream. I am purring and content.

The Pixar film score that I have listened to the most this last decade is Ratatouille. Maybe it was the swimming or maybe it was coming through my latest Trigger, but the best information that came out of the day is that the ‘person’ I relate to the most is a fictional Rat.  

The story of a rat, of all animals, being an overlooked, talented Chef, hits the mark in so many ways. I don’t care what my Beloved says about Rats, speaking as someone who has worked as a line cook in a professional kitchen, rats are the last thing you want in your restaurant kitchen. For the rat-chef movie plot, I really had to suspend disbelief, let go of my thinking mind and get into my Heart space. I’m sure Pixar knew all this - that the polar opposite ideas create great tension, and also great plot resolution. Merge the Impossible with the Possible.

G has been surprised by my love of this soundtrack these last 6 years, but like all good brands, all elements related to a good brand make for every kind of loyalty. It’s not that the music is necessarily the ‘best’, it’s that the movie and music remind me that, like the Rat, my chances of manifesting all my dreams are similarly impossible, and possible …

I’m also elated to understand today that I haven’t wasted time since I first came up with this art. I needed to face yesterday's trigger, be in the darkness, and figure out how to ground myself afterwards. The layers of healing are completely important.

All of this is the introduction to my Heart-Art Bundle, “The Ocean and the Abalone Shell”.

I spent the last 2-½ weeks recreating this artwork, making more art, and making sure that I have high-resolution and vector art for EVERYTHING. After all, I need to have everything ready to submit to PIXAR.  I’m very aware that this is what ‘Art direction’ looks and feels like to me.  I don’t need to be the person creating the animation, I just need to have all the art designed and ready. (May I just say that this is something I KNEW years ago. I’m so proud of myself.)

Working with this Art again took incredible inner strength and patience because, like writing a memoir, it took courage to face all those negative feelings and reprocess them into something beautiful. Which is what All lines are beautiful IS!

My intention is to Be what I am seeking: 

I am inviting my future clients to write into their Heart-Art as a personal challenge. I am and this art is a living example.
Do and write something new. This has never been done before, and many of us know that doing something New is NOT something our Egos love. 
I know deep in my heart, I have seen it there, that beautiful things will emerge when your words start melding with my art.

These abalone shell series are the Seeds.
