Tina Shares a Great Site for Leftovers!

Tina Turbin — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 19:13:17 +0000

OK, how many of us end up with a few left over radishes, a few apples or even one banana. A good “tool” to have is our own creative imagination but what happens when we get that “block” and all we want to do is toss the darn things or add them to our compost? Hold your horses! There is a site to help! It still needs some alterations in some cases based off of the allergy needs or if you are gluten- free or celiac. In any case we are all used to that so I decided to pass this on to you:http://supercook.com Tina Turbin

Featuring Radio Host and Artist, Jordan Mercedes

Tina Turbin — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 23:43:02 +0000

Jordan Mercedes is an artist and radio show host whom I had the pleasure of being interviewed by just last week. It was one of the best interviews I have experienced and was a total delight. Jordan is very professional has found her purpose and has pursued it. I write a lot about the need for women to pursue their dreams, especially Life After Mom-Hood. While Jordan does not have children, she cares for and helps many people and is one woman who has found balance in her life. I admire her and as a result I am sharing a bit about her and her Art below, in her own words:

A Black Swan is something that is unexpected or highly improbable. That’s how art arrived in my life, as a black swan. I didn’t have a long time dream of becoming an artist. Like many others, when it comes to artistic expression, I would have said that I couldn’t draw a straight line. I’ve never had an art lesson. The art comes from a peaceful place in my heart. I started experimenting with glass as a way to unwind after my usual 12 hour work day in event marketing.

Soon, I had a house filled with brightly colored glass plates and bowls. When I had friends over, they offered to buy my work or would request a special item for a wedding gift or other celebration, which was a complete surprise to me! My first exhibit was a big success and resulted in a commission of twenty pieces of glass art by the local museum store. I’ve continued to grow as a glass artist and will always enjoy that medium.

I had another black swan experience when I had a dream about drawing and painting these beautiful, flowing ladies; I didn’t paint or draw before that dream. I began to draw these simple figures, all with the desire to express love, beauty, connection and the radiant heart of a woman. Sometimes the trials and concerns of life cause women to close in, hide their hearts and shut down, however, I know inside of each woman is a beautiful treasure. This art calls out to the treasure and the beauty.

That’s what I want to capture in the celebration ladies, the unhindered spirit of a woman. Long open arms, generous hearts and a reflection of peace. People often cry when they look at the simple paintings and drawings because they are touched in a deep place inside. I’m always humbled and blessed when that happens, when a heart is touched or inspired by my art.

At this time in my life I have the joy of living my creative passion and I’m taking it to the next level by working with women, helping them to tap into their own creative identity. Creative expression comes in many forms; sometimes it’s in the arranging of a delightful garden or a fun and vibrant patchwork quilt. Other times it’s more subtle, like the ability to write an endearing letter or card.

Creativity is a part of each person, however sometimes you have to look for clues to how it is expressed through your life. Your unique creativity always leaves clues and those clues are waiting to be discovered.

Through the art and my passion for radio, my mission remains the same, helping others to have their own black swan experiences that shift life to a new level of fulfillment, health, love, connection and freedom. I love being an artist…and I still can’t draw a straight line! www.JordanMercedes.com
