Creative Today??

Well, as i sit here at my computer contemplating on which project to do today, I wonder what in the world possessed me to have 4 projects going on at the same time. Should I sew together my over shimmy thing for my belly dance skirt, which I still need to hem. Or figure out which book to read out of the really big stack. I get bored too easy, Hey! I could get on the exercise machine!, nah, I really am looking out for my Goddess figure. OK, now I`m thinking, (look out!)You know our world is pretty much in a mess right now and we really need to stick together. I think there are two classes of humans, the ones that give and nurture and the one`s that look out for them selves. Our planet is going to go through some changes, where we will see who is in what class. I for one think we need to get back to learning how to live off our Mother Earth. We have become way too comfortable with twenty first century stuff. Could you survive and take care of your family without electricity, grocery stores, money,communication,doctors,running water???????. Think about that, if you cant, start educating yourself. Make a plan, if nothing happens in YOUR lifetime, that's OK, at least you learned survival techniques that hopefully you taught your children. OK I vented, now I`ll go finish my skirt.



Many Blessings!!!!

Minerva Goddess Of Wisdom & Commerce








Minerva was the daughter of Jupiter and Metis. She was considered to be the virgin goddess of warriors, poetry, medicine, wisdom, commerce, crafts, and the inventor of music. As 'Minerva Medica', she was the goddess of medicine and doctors.. Ovid called her the "goddess of a thousand works." Her Greek mythology counterpart was Athena, and Minerva too sprung fully grown, and fully armored, from the head of Jupiter. In the temple on the Capitoline Hill she was worshipped together with Jupiter and Juno, with whom she formed a powerful triad of gods. According to legend, the Queen of Spades playing card depicts Minerva. When I am making a piece, and my creative juices get clogged up, I call on Minerva. She`s helped me with alot of my just can`t seem to get it together creative funks. So I named this piece as a tribute to her.
