IS IT TRUE...



WE HAVE A DIET SABATEUR?

I think so!

While knowing diets are a complete "no no" I am so sure I feel lousy when I am NOT in my right body size.  And I am 20 pounds over my right body size.  I feel sluggish, I feel grumpy, I feel fed up with tight jeans but mostly I am starting to feel unhealthy - mentally, physically and spiritually.  It is affecting my self esteem, my sense of my will (power), my sense of self (control) and my overall sense of well being.

So today's art is given to this feeling.  And out of it came a crucial "term" for me:  GLUTTONY!  There was no doubt it was going to be Biblical, because of my bent as a Rev. and as a believer - so I looked up the word in Wikipedia   WOW.  Do I recommend this to everyone who is interested in what I am saying or feels the way I was feeling.  GLUTTONY is so much more than about eating - it is a term that speaks to just what I was feeling - physical, mental and spiritual well-being (or not.)  It is about being ONE in this world (my D.Min.) in Metaphysics and how we can or can (not) contribute to that through our relationship with and to GLUTTONY.  So - though my art is about Diet Sabotage, I found my way to something way more crucial in my everyday living.  Thanks for listening.

Happy Mother's Day Sweet Friends
and for those of you who don't have your own Kids,
You are the Mother's of the Earth...
Happy Mother's Day to YOU!!!!

 This is where I began...pointing the finger at my "sabateur."  And where I ended up was the Physical, Mental, Intellectual and Spiritual Definition of GLUTTONY.  Phew, what a lesson on World Gluttony as a Object Lesson for living in a state of Well-being with myself and with others.



I thought it was time to say "hi" from this 2013 Mother's Day Mom, given it is nice to know who it is that writes a blog.  So "HI Ya"all!"  This me that is loving you each week from afar (Ontario, Canada!) - Land of the eh? and the not as plentiful art crafts supplies as my beloved American and European Friends!

  3. I'm still laughing at the shock when I saw the Ottawa ON CA. Personally I'm thinking subliminal messages in the food commercial's.

  4. Hi Samara,
    A very Nice picture of you.
    I was also surprised to see we are neighbours : )

    About your Gluttony post, immediately I thought what had happened earlier today while we were shopping. I bought two bags of candy , the family vote was unanimous, I'm the culprit to our nasty eating habits; threw the candy in the trash outside Indigo ; ) It's a start : )

    Happy Mothers day to you too O,O Annabelle
