Plan Bea

We all have to have a Plan Bea, in case we have to improvise when circumstances change. A strategy for changing times. 

I started to imagine my Plan Bea before I knew what it was going to be. And I started creating my new life by making an Altered Book. This is an art process that I used often in my clinical work as an art therapist. We take an old, hardcover book and make art about our lives in its pages, with pockets, tags, windows and doors, and secret places. It is a container for our thoughts, feelings, and ideas.

I have made 3 and each has a different purpose or theme: Existentially Me, Art's Moving Experience, and Plan Bea. Essentially, my altered books are philosophical and contemplative of the nature of physical reality. I think about consciousness a lot.

Can we create a reality we desire? Yes, of course we can. It starts with being able to imagine the thing you want and the first step to manifesting your desires is making them into physical matter. The altered book is physical matter. The more you focus on something, the more it expands, and you being to realize what you have to do to make your vision happen. In my clinical work, my treatment motto was, 'Whatever You Think About Most, You Make Happen'. Good or bad, conscious or subconscious, whatever the energy of you conscious mind dwells on, it manages to create what you imagine.

I will work on a book for months or maybe even years. I have pages open in the other two altered books I mentioned. Plan Bea was started 2018, and in the beginning it consisted of reinforcing those concepts I described in the above paragraph. General mantras, and support for faith and believing in my power to change my life.

Then Covid hit. 

Then it was really crucial to recreate how I earn my living. What could I monetize that was natural to me? Since I was a practicing art therapist and art teacher, I had a ton of art at home but did not market myself to galleries because that is a full time job, and I already was busy with the 9 to 5 gig @ the residential treatment facility I was working at. Commerce was changing into an online marketplace, so I found my answer. I would start an online business. Being a Boomer, I wasn't tech savvy, so it was slow going, but I hired a youngster (28) to be my IT chick, and I took the leap. 

Much of my brand will be connected to my motto: 

Whatever You Think About Most, You Make Happen.

Inspiration, focus, make mind magic, creative thinker, consciousness creates matter, magic is the same thing as a prayer or meditation, we are more than we realize.
