Dear Yogis,
The lion’s gate portal opens every year on August 8 when the sun in Leo, the star Sirius, Orion’s Belt, and the Earth all line-up. This creates a powerful portal of energy, which is potent for manifesting!  So don’t sit at home moping about what isn’t happening, imagine what is.  Everything happens in the imagination first.  Imagine your life, and then make it happen.

Every nite I sit and sew.

 I do the fine work required by my dolls and bears, and I imagine everything about each one before they actually take shape.  There is so much to do, and I am very conscious about how many are in my mind, and how many there are waiting to become visible.  I don’t exactly know where this DRIVE to make them comes from, I am not sure where it is leading, but at the moment it is taking me down some very interesting paths, and I just love the act of making.  There are so many skills involved, and it is not easy – I shy away from easy.  I do know that I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE making them – even if you don’t join me in the journey, I will keep on the path.  Nothing can happen that is not the will of God.  I trust this..

If you want to join me, I am going to have a class next Saturday (the 13th August) in my studio 12noon to 4pm.  You should be able to make a bear in that time, and you will have a template so you can go home and make more.  With Christmas coming (plus other anniversaries), you will be ahead of the game.
I will provide luncheon nibbles, etc as usual.  Please bring any material scraps that you want to use for the bear you intend to make.  You can bring an item or two of clothing to cut up, so that you will have a record of the person in the fabric of the bear.  Every winter evening, my mum and I used to make crazy quilts in this manner, and then when we used the quilt she would tell me stories about the squares.

DON’T FORGET YOUR YOGA.

Remember our logos “YOGAFIRST” and “YOGA BEAUTIFUL”.  I meant both of them and they are still what I live by.  YOGA FIRST, THEN ART. Your mat is your country – start there.
