Inspired by artist Tamara Laporte’s popular online art classes (willowing.org), Create Your Life Book presents 18 step-by-step mixed-media drawing and painting projects that encourage self-fulfillment through the creative process. Tamara’s kind, non-judgmental voice guides your way. What is holding you back? Where do you want to go? Let go of the past! Use these expressive exercises to help you recognize your personal challenges and other obstacles, then work through them. Let go of limiting beliefs, find courage, feel gratitude, heal pain, and develop self-love as you playfully create. Each themed chapter presents four to five two-part projects. First, you will explore a common issue that hampers creativity and/or positive self-worth. The second portion is a step-by-step mixed-media art project designed to help you work through that issue. Just a few of the explorations: Let go of what no longer serves you by taking stock of what’s holding you back, then create a zentangle butterfly to symbolize you flying away from those limiting things. Embrace and love your inner quirky bird by taking an inventory of your quirky traits, then create a bird that celebrates them. Heal old wounds by writing a letter to yourself as a child, then create a house to keep your inner child safe. Adding rich variety to the messages and art inspiration, some of the project outlines have been contributed by Tamara's guest teachers: Roxanne Coble, Andrea Gomoll, Alena Hennessy, Mystele Kirkeeng, Ivy Newport, and Effy Wild, each of whom are noted mixed-media artists in their own right.

The Art of Life and Death
Author: Andrew Irving
Publisher: Malinowski Monographs
ISBN: 9780997367515
Category : Death
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The Art of Life and Death explores how the world appears to people who have an acute perspective on it: those who are close to death. Based on extensive ethnographic research, Andrew Irving brings to life the lived experiences, imaginative lifeworlds, and existential concerns of persons confronting their own mortality and non-being. Encompassing twenty years of working alongside persons living with HIV/AIDS in New York, Irving documents the radical but often unspoken and unvoiced transformations in perception, knowledge, and understanding that people experience in the face of death. By bringing an "experience-near" ethnographic focus to the streams of inner dialogue, imagination, and aesthetic expression that are central to the experience of illness and everyday life, this monograph offers a theoretical, ethnographic, and methodological contribution to the anthropology of time, finitude, and the human condition. With relevance well-beyond the disciplinary boundaries of anthropology, this book ultimately highlights the challenge of capturing the inner experience of human suffering and hope that affect us all--of the trauma of the threat of death and the surprise of continued life.

The Art of Life
Author: Zygmunt Bauman
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0745658512
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
In our individualized society we are all artists of life – whether we know it or not, will it or not and like it or not, by decree of society if not by our own choice. In this society we are all expected, rightly or wrongly, to give our lives purpose and form by using our own skills and resources, even if we lack the tools and materials with which artists’ studios need to be equipped for the artist’s work to be conceived and executed. And we are praised or censured for the results – for what we have managed or failed to accomplish and for what we have achieved and lost. In our liquid modern society we are also taught to believe that the purpose of the art of life should be and can be happiness – though it’s not clear what happiness is, the images of a happy state keep changing and the state of happiness remains most of the time something yet-to-be-reached. This new book by Zygmunt Bauman – one of the most original and influential social thinkers writing today – is not a book of designs for the art of life nor a ‘how to’ book: the construction of a design for life and the way it is pursued is and cannot but be an individual responsibility and individual accomplishment. It is instead a brilliant account of conditions under which our designs-for-life are chosen, of the constraints that might be imposed on their choice and of the interplay of design, accident and character that shape their implementation. Last but not least, it is a study of the ways in which our society – the liquid modern, individualized society of consumers – influences (but does not determine) the way we construct and narrate our life trajectories.

The Art of Dying Well
Author: Katy Butler
Publisher: Scribner
ISBN: 1501135473
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
This “comforting…thoughtful” (The Washington Post) guide to maintaining a high quality of life—from resilient old age to the first inklings of a serious illness to the final breath—by the New York Times bestselling author of Knocking on Heaven’s Door is a “roadmap to the end that combines medical, practical, and spiritual guidance” (The Boston Globe). “A common sense path to define what a ‘good’ death looks like” (USA TODAY), The Art of Dying Well is about living as well as possible for as long as possible and adapting successfully to change. Packed with extraordinarily helpful insights and inspiring true stories, award-winning journalist Katy Butler shows how to thrive in later life (even when coping with a chronic medical condition), how to get the best from our health system, and how to make your own “good death” more likely. Butler explains how to successfully age in place, why to pick a younger doctor and how to have an honest conversation with them, when not to call 911, and how to make your death a sacred rite of passage rather than a medical event. This handbook of preparations—practical, communal, physical, and spiritual—will help you make the most of your remaining time, be it decades, years, or months. Based on Butler’s experience caring for aging parents, and hundreds of interviews with people who have successfully navigated our fragmented health system and helped their loved ones have good deaths, The Art of Dying Well also draws on the expertise of national leaders in family medicine, palliative care, geriatrics, oncology, and hospice. This “empowering guide clearly outlines the steps necessary to prepare for a beautiful death without fear” (Shelf Awareness).

Book Description
The Art Of Life: A Simple, Elegant, and Beautiful Pattern Help You Live A Happy And Meaningful Life! Out of Tao, One is born; Out of One, Two; Out of Two, Three; Out of Three, the Created Universe. - Tao Te Ching, Chapter 42In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. - Bible, Genesis 1:1~3The art of life is of essential importance to every person no matter rich or poor, man or woman, old or young, west or east, because everyone wants to have a happy and meaningful life but in vain to achieve both at the same time.With an ongoing unprecedented technology revolution, human beings are experiencing the complexities and uncertainties of this changing turbulent world. To help people better deal with all these emerging new challenges, wisdom is needed to embrace all the major aspects of human life. Inspired by the Bible and Tao Te Ching, two of the most original and influential books ever, the Art of Life, then, has been developed and resolved into five status of existences. These are (0) Being (with The Being) ; (1) Seeing; (2) Doing; (3) Routinizing; and (∞) Transforming. These five components should be understood and practiced by any person who wants to pursue the Art of Life: he who knows and practices them will live a happy and meaningful life; he who knows them not will be easily getting lost or trapped here and there.In this sense, you can keep all the following questions in mind so that you can check if you are doing the right thing for the right people in the right way at the right time of your life. Do you know the way of BEING with The BEING by returning to zero at any moment? Did you SEE your calling to a certain cause, as well as specific purposes of your current life stage? Did you take some real ACTIONS to do meaningful things and build meaningful relationships? Did you identify and create the KEYSTONE HABIT of your life? Are you ready to constantly return to zero by BEING with The Being so that you could continuously TRANSFORM your life? Hence, when you stop to be with The Being, you begin to see; when you see, you may have the courage to take actions; when you act, you can create a new habit; when you have a good habit, you will achieve your goals or have good virtues; with goals achieved and good virtues, you constantly transform and grow; when you continuously transform and grow with the golden spiral, your life is bound to be both happy and meaningful no matter what circumstances you are in. You Will Learn Five Stages From Being To Transforming, And Much More Topics! How to Live a Happy and Meaningful Life? How to Find the Meaning of Your Life? How to Design Your Priorities? What is Your Never-ending Engine? How to Manage Your Things and Relationships? What is Your Choice? Red or Blue Pill? How to Overcome Your Ethical Dilemmas? What Determines Your Thoughts and Behaviors? How to Create Your Keystone Habit? How to Live Every Moment of Your Life? How Transformation Occurs? How to Create a Golden Spiral in Your Life?
