New Years Eve Ritual for 2024

January 1, 2024

New Years Eve Ritual

Another new years eve on my own. That’s the life you pick when you choose to live with a musician. I guess it bothers me a little bit, when I let myself think about it. However if I’m truthful, I probably dig it more, being alone on this night. I mean… yeah, I miss the kiss and that spark that flies in the excitement of that one moment when midnight hits and a new year begins and something magical goes down. I’m still not sure if that’s magic or expectation but whatever. Sigh. It’s thoughts like that, that lead you to creating your own majik. I’ve been sageing the house and doing a clearing/welcoming New Years Eve Ritual for that past 5 years and I can tell you, it’s always magical.

A Magical Spot to ponder

November 14, 2023

A Magical Spot to Ponder, Blog by BA at All Things BA Art
One of my many garden friends, DUDE! He is the first to greet you at The House of Harmonies.

A Magical Spot, November. 14,2014

A Magical Spot to Ponder.  Sometimes I will call them, places of zen. Those places that take us out of hectic and bring us back into balance. That safe spot to just let go and zone out!

Today’s thankful post is about finding that sweet spot. I do believe my porch is magical. It’s 37 degrees outside and if you have a front porch like mine, you can enjoy the high 60’s, maybe even the 70’s. Not gonna lie, having a house that gets full sun all year round produces a few problems to deal with. Finding a warm sunny spot to perch and let life roll on by, in winter, is not one of them. I am so freaking thankful that i have a place like this to warm my bones, relax and of course, to ponder things to be thankful for!

 

**** My Magical Spot is holding strong. It’s January 2024, the temps are in the teens. My safe haven is hovering up in the low 60’s.

*** The Magical Spot to Ponder is going strong in 2017.  Today’s high is 32!! Is this Georgia!! The porch pulled through and was a nice spot to sit and ponder about the last years trials and blessing. This girl is thankful. Be safe ya’all!

Thanks for taking the time to check this out.  I would love to hear about where you find balance. Drop me a line here (CONTACT)  or reach out to me on FaceBook!

Don’t forget, there is a SHOP here on this website. I have lots of great things to share with you, so please check it out! Thank you.

Peace, Love & Rocks,

BA

Meriwether’s Retreat, an Exceptional Bed & Breakfast.

February 12, 2019

Meriwether’s Retreat Bed & Breakfast is an exceptional stay!

One might be misled by the seemingly sleepy little town of Hohenwald Tn. but if you peel back the cozy, comfortable blanket of rural life, you’re going to get the surprise of your life, as I did! Meriwether’s Retreat Bed & Breakfast could not be more adorable.

I am an artist, living just outside of a stress chamber called, Atlanta, Georgia. A place where the traffic is ridiculously terrifying, people are indifferent or just downright mean. It’s hustle meets bustle and takes a bully beating on one’s soul. After a super busy holiday season and a house remodel, I needed to decompress big time. A friend of mine told me about MERIWETHER’S RETREAT and I decided to go check it out for a long weekend.

The Perseverance Rule

December 5, 2014

 

The Perseverance Rule a blog about finding Outsider Art
All Thing BA Art, where you can shop for Whimsy Art by BA, Natural Healing Stones Jewelry, Crochet and Pottery

 

The Perseverance Rule, Outsider Art is about not giving up!

The perseverance rule is a very valuable rule to learn and follow. I think I have pretty much gone through life outside of a box.  As a younger person, I was never really in, with the “IN” crowd. I might of had a brief moment where I fit into a genre in high school but that was mainly due to the music I was listening to. Other than that, I kinda just moved to my own beat… I think. hahaha, There is that memory issue!

The Journey to Outsider Art

Anyway, lately I have noticed that Natural Healing Stones Jewelry is morphing, or more to the point, I am morphing and my box is not budging. I am now not only into Jewelry but am delving into glass fusing, pottery and art. OH MY!

The art thing took me by surprise really. Most of you don’t know this but my first two years in college, I was an art major. The first year was great. My professors were digging what I was putting out and I thought I was the bomb. Those were the ONLY classes I was making A’s and B’s in, I thought I had found my niche.

Then year two came, the year I decided to be politically outspoken. I didn’t much care for an overly liberal comment from a professor and had the gumption to say so. From then on my art work was deemed D/F worthy. WHAT?!?! That is how I discovered, I do art for myself. I decide what I like and don’t like.  I realized I didn’t much care for creating to please someone, just so that I could get a good grade. Then I had my accident… hahaha, another blog. Ahhh, the synchronicity of it all.
