Wrapping up the year

Everyone is meant  to fulfill their destiny on earth  in their own unique way I haven’t been able to keep up with Radvent in real time, but the posts address things I have thought through as I did write my responses. I also have touched upon some of these topics in my own musings over […]

Radvent: Creating (really fear-busting)

Create Radvent by Princess Lasertron

I sometimes forget that I am more creative than most. I had a professional Artwork Installer help me put frames up this month, and he was surprised he didn’t need to design the layout of the wall. A blend of my own and inspirational creations that are finally on my wall People can be so […]

Radvent: Wrapping

“If you look deep within, you will find a brilliant light. Too many, far too many, squint and turn away from the shine.

Radvent: Writing

Radvent Writing by Princess Lasertron

“Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.”  ~William Wordsworth Last weekend I visited Piccolo Theatre’s Holiday Panto (ends tomorrow, December 17).

Radvent: Performance

Performance Radvent by Princess Lasertron

“When I consider my actions as performing certain ideas, it helps me reclaim my agency.” ~Katie F-S Yesterday I attended a free concert performance in Northwestern’s Alice Millar chapel.

I’ll have to let Radvent go through January because there are a few good topics this week. Today I’ll work on Influencing.  Image re-blogged with permission from Princess Lasertron Five of my greatest influences is difficult to narrow down. I could easily do this exercise for every year of my life, as well as make […]
