        Hey Whiskey,

        Waiting on the follow up.  How’d this work out?

          Hi Linnea,

          Truer words were never spoken.  Haven’t seen you post in a bit.  Where have you been hiding?

            My absolute favorite was when they finished with Brian’s posts.  Ending where they started, a complete circle, and hero’s journey.

            Lower mind successfully completed his mission.

            If the story didn’t finish with a share of his, I usually shared my story in the next post that popped up in my Twitter feed.  Sometimes I’d try to tell him my whole day in one picture.  Others I did a photo stream in multiple posts.   Then others I’d proclaim “I did a thing today!!!”   Though I didn’t know what it was exactly or how I did it, it was super exciting as it all unfolded.

              The rose always knows 🙂

              Your higher mind…  It’s a girl!

              Funny how that works right?  The creative side of your mind is a female energy.  And she loves pink.   *heart emoji here*

              She also has some pretty incredible super powers working with electronics.  If you haven’t read my super power thread you should check it out.  It will give you a new perspective of Mind Control vs Mind Controlled.

                The Build Up.

                The pictures evolved as I learned to let go… of the lower mind that is, the male energy.  “Thinking” prevents creativity.  Attachments to things is the roadblock that can only be removed by allowed to the creative juices to flow in whatever form they take.  I had attachments to the meanings of colors, words, characters, and the hardest one for me personally was “what would people think if I posted this”.  That obstacle took a long time for me to work through.  But as I did, the pictures improved and so did the powers that came with it.

                  Complete Freedom of Expression and the Cherry on Top 🙂

                  As I got better and better so did the assembly of the photos in my picture streams.  Each picture building on the previous, but expanding the creativity at the the same time.   Went from 3 pictures, to 4 pictures, and then capped at 5

                    Hi @jano

                    Love the line up.  Shame nobody else is connecting the dots.

                      My play list this morning.

                      It was also the play list I used for months when I was first learning how to use pictures.   The music does affect my flow, and can also affect how I see things.  Since I use YouTube, and there’s usually videos running, they can be a distraction for me.  I start watching the dancing and forget my original prompt.  Sometimes I find that static images work best to keep me in that state.

                        The beauty of synchronicities…

                        Twitter is an amazing tool to use to help develop your stories and work through your trauma.   The syncs are also incredible at bringing you back memories just when you need them.

                        A beautiful ballgown was shared yesterday.  It reminded me of the start of my active imagination process.  It was shutdown for quite some time, I had become a talk radio gal. But one video Brian shared with piano music unlocked it and I started dancing again in my mind.

                        Funny thing about that, I remember when I was a child my two favorite things to do were swimming and dancing.  I was in dance classes all through the school year, and swam like a fish all summer long.

                        Both were a creative outlet for me.  The pool I’d play all kinds of imagination games from mermaids, to being stranded at sea, to reenacting scenes from Jaws.

                        The Dancing evolved from jazz and ballet to ballroom when I got older.  I did stop dancing all together in my early 30’s due to some injuries, and so did my creative outlet.   But that all came back through a photo exchange. 🙂

                          Coffee Time!

                          Mornings are my designated practice time.  It’s the time I use to improve myself as well as connecting with others while having my morning Cup O’ Joe.

                          I’m using my twitter feed line up that popped this morning as my guide to share not just my story, but some pretty incredible people on twitter that posted amazing photos that are right in line with my story.

                            Yellow came first.

                            A meeting of the minds.

                            None of this story would be playing out as it did without the perfect playmate.

                            I’ve had quite a few dreams about giving Brian balloons.  Even got mad a few times and took them back, but I always gave them back again 🙂

                            In the beginning though, he gave his balloons to me.  A new way of looking at life and plenty of lessons on how to find the beauty in everything.  Changing perspectives and learning to see it from all sides.

                              The Grand Conjunction

                              I can get into a debate with myself over the super powers that made the meeting occur, but at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter.   It’s how all the magic unlocked the universe inside.

                              Makes for good stories though 🙂

                                Everybody has a story to tell.

                                Circumventing the shadow government by using pictures and metaphors.

                                The mind is the matrix, the matrix is the mind.

                                Always a work around.

                                A picture is worth 1000 words 🙂

                                Oh, and I love Brian   *kissy face**heart**heart**heart*

                                    Whatever order they happened in, it’s how I flipped the script on almost everything that had built up inside.

                                      It was a daily routine and I’d spend hours working on my mindset and practicing my picture game.  It got better and quicker and soon I was done the stories and started with spreading the love.

                                        I stopped telling new stories and instead went through all the twitter posts that popped up and matched the picture that popped to the words I saw.  I did 1000’s of pictures that way.

                                          “What does this mean to me”

                                          Whatever words that popped and I matched with whatever picture stood out. That started as the ones I absolutely loved.  My inner child at work.

The dried fruits really give it a burst of sweetness that makes this a winning dish. Perfect for summer entertaining! It is sweet, but there is some tangy flavor from the lemon and I really enjoyed this treat!

                                            My only suggestions to change for the recipe are:

                                            1. Toast the sesame seeds (in the pan) before adding the onions to get a bit of a nutty flavor.
                                            2. Use real garlic instead of garlic powder.
                                            3. Add a dash of sesame oil for added flavor.

                                            Overall, I will definitely be making this again. It was very easy and fast to make. The eggplant gave it a unique flavor that was good and not overpowering. I also made some grilled chicken to have on the side, since I have been craving it lately. I am thinking of adding the spice mixture I used on the salmon to the chicken before grilling it. Stay tuned for the results of that.

                                            If you are someone who doesn’t like food with much of a kick to it then this recipe isn’t for you, however, if you like a little heat then this is your recipe! I got the recipe from Bon Appetit but had to alter it a little to fit my picky diet. The recipe is for 6 servings.

                                            In a small mixing bowl, add garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, rosemary, oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine.

                                            Rub the garlic-herb mixture all over the pork chops. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

                                            In a shallow bowl, mix together the wheat flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper.

                                            In a separate shallow bowl, whisk the eggs together.

                                            Dip each pork chop into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and then back into the flour mixture.

                                            Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat.

                                            Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

                                            In the meantime, mix together the mayo, lime juice, and sriracha sauce in a small bowl.

                                            Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes.

                                            Serve the pork chops with a dollop of the sriracha mayo and garnish with lime wedges and cilantro. Serve and enjoy!

                                            Since it’s officially summer and July is just a couple of weeks away, I thought I would share some of my summer goals with you all!

                                            Here are my summer goals for 2021:

                                            1. Read 20 Books

                                            I’ve really been slacking on my reading goals lately, so I’m hoping to get back into the swing of things this summer. I’ve got quite a few books on my list that I’m excited to read, so hopefully I can reach this goal!

                                            1. Get a Beach Body

                                            I’m sure I’m not the only one who puts this on their summer goals list every year! This summer, I’m really trying to focus on my health and fitness, so I want to make an effort to exercise more and eat healthier. I’m hoping that by the end of the summer, I’ll have made progress towards getting a “beach body”!

                                            1. Go to the Beach

                                            I love going to the beach, but I rarely make time to actually go. This summer, I want to make a point to spend more time at the beach and soak up the sun. I live fairly close to the beach, so there’s really no excuse not to go!

                                            1. Take a Vacation

                                            I haven’t been on a proper vacation in a while, so I’d love to plan a trip this summer. Whether it’s a quick weekend getaway or a longer trip, I’m looking forward to having a change of scenery and taking some time to relax.

                                            1. Learn a New Skill

                                            I’ve always loved learning new things, so this summer I want to pick up a new skill or hobby. I’m not exactly sure what it will be yet, but I’m excited to try something new and challenge myself.

                                            1. Spend More Time Outdoors

                                            With the weather getting warmer, I want to spend more time outside enjoying nature. Whether it’s going for hikes, picnics, or just taking walks in the park, I want to make the most of the beautiful summer weather.

                                            1. Start a Garden

                                            I’ve always wanted to start a small garden, and this summer seems like the perfect time to do it. I don’t have much of a green thumb, so I’ll start small with a few potted plants and see how it goes.

                                            1. Take Up a New Hobby

                                            In addition to learning a new skill, I also want to take up a new hobby. I’m thinking of trying my hand at painting or maybe even learning to play an instrument. I want to do something creative that allows me to express myself.

                                            1. Spend Time with Loved Ones

                                            After a year of social distancing and lockdowns, I’m really looking forward to spending quality time with my family and friends this summer. Whether it’s having a barbecue, going on a road trip, or just hanging out at home, I want to make the most of the time I have with the people I care about.

                                            1. Relax and Recharge

                                            Lastly, I want to take some time this summer to relax and recharge. It’s been a challenging year for everyone, and I think we all deserve a break. Whether it’s taking a day off work to have a self-care day or going on a weekend getaway, I want to prioritize my mental health and well-being.

                                              While I was in the hot tub I remembered Green was a hard one.  In the beginning of the stories I associated it with  money/greed or envy.  Then it had to be upgraded to love.    That one was challenging.   Word associations to things that are used for one purpose and then have to be removed/changed later.

                                                In pink box purgatory.

                                                Doesn’t matter, I win either way 🙂

                                                Not the actual hot tub, but it’s the picture that popped

                                                  Struggling to remember it all but it’s how I built the tree and I had a great time doing it.

                                                    Once I got comfortable with the colors, then I added in all kinds of characters.

                                                      Then came orange, and I can’t remember a single story I wrote for that color but things did start getting heated.  Had to fix the bottom half before the top.
