What is Timeraiser?

The Timeraiser is a silent art auction with a twist. Instead of bidding money, participants bid volunteer time to agencies that need their skills and energy.  We buy all artwork at fair market value and auction it off on the night of the Timeraiser. 

The 4th London Timeraiser will be May 2nd, 2013. Successful auction bidders have 12 months to complete their volunteer pledge. When they do, they bring the artwork home as a reminder of their goodwill.

To date, the Timeraiser has generated almost 115,000 volunteer hours and invested $650,000 in the careers of emerging Canadian artists.

For more information, visit www.timeraiser.ca and please circulate this notice to your friends and colleagues in the art community.

Return to the Goddess

This is the year that I return to the Goddess and making Goddess art. I recently purchased a beautiful deck of Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue to help guide me in my quest and for inspiration.

Today I drew the Yemanya card, Golden Opportunity: “Important doors are opening for you right now. Walk through”.  How very fitting.

Yemanya
Yemanya

Yemanya the beautiful Brazilian Wishing Goddess. Like the ocean, life is rich with variety and beauty.

Pronounced “YEH-MAHN-JAH”; She is the Brazilian goddess who was created with the sea. Every December 31, people in Brazil celebrate Yemanya by casting white flowers and miniature boats upon the sea. You can work with Yemanya by putting a tiny boat into the sea and asking for a wish. If Yemanya grants your wish , her waves will swallow the miniature boat, and if she denies the wish the boat will wash ashore. Since the sea is the root of the Earths life, Yemanya’s connection to it makes her a very powerful and nurturing mother goddess. She’s a protector, supplier and one who grants wishes.

A Message from Yemanya “Golden Opportunity”

Important doors are opening for you right now, walk through them. Like the oceans waves, timing is everything, so when the opportunity presents itself dive in at that moment and allow your doubts to be washed away!

Imagine a Woman

Imagine a woman who believes it is right and good she is a woman.
A woman who honors her experience and tells her stories.
Who refuses to carry the sins of others within her body and life.Imagine a woman who trusts and respects herself.
A woman who listens to her needs and desires.
Who meets them with tenderness and grace.Imagine a woman who acknowledges the past’s influence on the present.
A woman who has walked through her past.
Who has healed into the present.

Imagine a woman who authors her own life.
A woman who exerts, initiates, and moves on her own behalf.
Who refuses to surrender except to her truest self and wisest voice.

Imagine a woman who names her own gods.
A woman who imagines the divine in her image and likeness.
Who designs a personal spirituality to inform her daily life.

Imagine a woman in love with her own body.
A woman who believes her body is enough, just as it is.
Who celebrates its rhythms and cycles as an exquisite resource.

Imagine a woman who honors the body of the Goddess in her changing body.
A woman who celebrates the accumulation of her years and her wisdom.
Who refuses to use her life-energy disguising the changes in her body and life.

Imagine a woman who values the women in her life.
A woman who sits in circles of women.
Who is reminded of the truth about herself when she forgets.

Imagine yourself as this woman.
