Tell us about the last time you were really, truly jealous of someone. Did you act on it? Did it hurt your relationship? 

Green-Eyed Monster

Jealous?

I don’t get jealous, and I have never been one to get jealous, jealousy has a  dramatic energy with it I find…and I just can’t stand drama, I find its energy is nasty, insidious and bloody stupid. I have a *No Drama* rule with my life.

Now admiration…that’s another thing entirely, I tend more to admiration than jealousy, admiration is something that inspires growth in me, healthy growth. But not the kind of growth that has wishes attached to it..like “Oh I so admire them, I wish I was more like them!”

More like “Wow I admire that person” then I simply enjoy the energy of that person, observe it and allow it to resonate and spark something deeper within myself..and then there is a gratitude and a blessing feeling

Jealousy…I think comes from a strong feeling of insecurity and self loathing. Sadly that is common.

But thankfully I threw that monkey off my back a very long time ago

Weekly Challenge #119

ebony & ivory, weekly diva challenge

This week’s challenge was directly inspired by this post on the Zentangle Blogwhere Rick and Maria showcase some gorgeous pieces where the black and white are evenly distributed throughout the tiles.

Check out the challenge Here

I found this challenge a really hard one, I had an idea of doing a yin yang idea, but BAH..just wasn’t happening. Then I thought I might do a zendala..but but but BAH that wasn’t happening either.

I have had this dragon clip art for awhile..so thought Okey dokey I’ll give it a bash.

Pretty happy with the overall result, but wondering if painting entire background black might allow it to *pop* a bit more. There are a few mistakes…don’t look too close

 

I decided not to go with the all black background..thought a border might look better..not too overpowering. I’m very pleased with the result!~
