Mindfulness mindset

Mindfulness mindset The following post was originally shared on   JMgallery  where I curate art, photography, images that speak to me.  Today, these depictions focus on mindfulness which is an art within itself.  The above captures my positive mindset and peaceful focus to allow me to become present in the NOW.  To be appreciative of the WOW!  Yes the quote and the image harmoniously flowed together to create a positive vibe sent out to the universe.  I can't do anything constructive about my woes at the moment so you allow it to drift away.  Efficiently filed to be handled effectively, like you usually do.   The art of mindfulness Practicing the art of mindfulness is a lot harder than it sounds.  In principle, you are meant to focus on this minute, this second.  Building awareness of all things, people, events happening around you in the moment for the moment.  Discipline and meditation are definitely...

Oh dear, oh my .... my give a damn meter is turned OFF!

This post was originally written on  The Publisher blog where I've tripped over and trickled past some interesting things to write about or share that is off the radar usually.  I decided it was worth a share here.  I see where the insight can be used in sales and business scenarios to which I will expand and explain better in a sales-oriented blog.  I still dream in sales and think of ways to sell better.  I just have expanded my interests and want to test new theories or ideas.  Stretching my creative scope even farther than I thought possible.  I referenced my optioneerjm.blogspot.com already and meanderingsabout.blogspot.ca before, now I guess I'm flogging The Publisher (link below) because what I wrote really spoke to me and about me.  Thank you for reading if you are still with me this far.  I owe you my gratitude. Sincerely.  Jeannette  Oh dear, oh my .... my give a damn meter is turned OFF! SOURCE Ther...

Plagiarism rules

an ORANGE logo defined  Cake wars are on fire:  claims of plagiarism unfold on Twitter.  It is a cake boss of the inauguration kind.   Sadly, if you are renowned in some way and your craft is shared online you are exposed to plagiarism. But what do you do if you are not renowned in any way, a mere blogger who shares ideas openly to help others? What if your blog logo, an orange, is used as a logo for an internal initiative by the company you work for?  How do you prove that the idea stemmed from your own creativity and borrowed or used?   The same logo I unveiled on my blog was adopted for a corporate initiative:  coincidence?  Recourse?  Aren't you glad I chose orange? Does it even matter?   Coincidence or not?  How can one make such claims when the logo is used internally and not for public scrutiny? I can certainly say that I was not, am not, involved in any form of marketing, messaging or creative f...

Testing ... reDEFINING

Postings on the Edge a twist of words as reference to Postcards from the Edge.   Kindred spirits join the journey.  But first, you need to begin with me firstly by watching "Bright Lights" with Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds  Take in the poignant moment when Carrie visits her dying father, Eddie Fisher, with more forgiveness than any one I've ever known. Compassionate creatures  enveloped from the vessels of "Singing in the Rain" fame, Debbie Reynolds, and her daughter "Princess Leia" Carrie Fisher who wrote "Postcards from the Edge" starring Shirley McClain and young upstart Merle Streep.  I watched this  this afternoon after taking the HUNKster's suggestion of HBO's "Bright Lights" last night when we returned home after sharing a hearty dinner with great friends.   Quality overpowers time every time Suggesting quality is not defined by length of time spent together, but in the value and peaceful-ness ...
