Question 21: WEALTHY JOY

QUESTION2: WEALTHY JOY
"21. IF JOY BECAME THE NATIONAL CURRENCY, WHAT KIND OF WORK WOULD MAKE YOU WEALTHY?"

My Answer: CUSTOMER SERVICE

I was reading some questions on a website, (http://tinybuddha.com/blog/28-powerful-questions-for-a-happy-life/) from searching "...made me question life" (draft post). These interest me greatly, so I share this with you.

Question 21;
"If JOY became the NATIONAL currency, what kind of WORK would make YOU wealthy?"

Ok,  1. I LOVE fashion, and 2. I always wanted to do a customer service job. This was hard to decide.
I picked customer service.

QUESTION 21: WEALTHY JOY
Fashion has its ups and downs.  Creators block, idea exhaustion, boredom (all fashion, and nothing else), etc.

So, I've always wanted to work in customer service. Genuinely, I'm a happy person so, to help others and bring smiles to people's faces, is what I thought of doing.

I did get to do this in 2014. However, it's not always "perfect". And that's fine, and fun 😊.

Anyway, may you take care.
Plus, feel free to say what would YOU DO for wealthy joy?

PEACOCKS: MARCH 2016
SIDE NOTE: MY SEARCH,

I wanted to pick out outfits, so I started to look at the website Peacocks (www.peacocks.co.uk).

I saw a link/image for men's 'shirts'. Then it reminded me of a past shirt. I chose 5, started looking for the outfits and, I was wrong to do this 😒.
So, I decided to draw my pairings.

Anyway, what would you pair these shirts with? Feel free to let me know, in the comments section.

Take care,

No More Schedule Posts...?

***[THIS WAS IN MY DRAFT, FROM 2015. COULDN'T GET THE DATE, BECAUSE OF AUTO-SAVE >:V. MAY YOU FEEL FREE TO SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS. THANK YOU]***


For the coming days, I shall be more "personal" with posts.



I schedule posts to have a set time and date, for others to view at that very time or day.

Although this is good to set a blog post, it helped to not do it on the day. However, it felt like I wasn't really engaging with my blog. It felt like clockwork, than to sit there and say what I did on that day.

If it makes sense.

Early Morning Of Inspiration:
This was a thought in the early morning.
I wanted to start blogging, to document the things I did or do. To allow a place, to read back and maybe correct my spelling, or sentences from years a go (I kept and keep diaries...collection over haul).

So, I'm going back to basics, and to start documenting, in a way, again. This felt like I kept track of my blog posts (before with my blogging).

For a bonus, at the time I made my blog public. I made my blog public, for people to view, but also to not feel alone in their feelings or any situation, they may be in.

God bless for 'Silence The Stigma' [link]. Reading their blog, helps me feel less alone with my thoughts.

So, I leave you with what I did today.

Today (it may not be set out like this all the time):

- I came up with new blog posts in the early morning, and I'm going back to basics with my blog.

To document, and make it "natural"/original to the correct purpose why I started blogging (it shall have all the posts you see at the moment, with maybe behind the scenes what makes my blog, or so). Feel free to say what you think about this.

- I cried of the troubles of today.

1. It shows how much I care for people, and the world

2. These problems have been going on since childhood...so where is the change of today?

That was my thought, and has been my thought. Since childhood, CHILDHOOD!
These are mistakes of the present, to the beginning of something new...? Please make a difference, PLEASE!!!

- I shall be making titles, and description of blog posts.

This shall involve sharing my ideas as little as to what I would like to blog. I would like to showcase them to the you, because it is what makes my blog. It lights me up (encourages) to keep blogging, (along with your help to make it beyond what I could imagine coming from it). So, this shall be coming soon.

- I got to vacuum today.
I say this because I have not been able to do this, or such things lately. Lately, when I go to do anything, my headaches take over, and I feel sluggish, tired and dizzy. That's why I've been thanking each day since.

** Saying dizzy, I found a nurses note from secondary school, dated from 2014. I didn't know I was suffering from headaches then (that year).

Design Wise:

- latest designs have been "God Bless" graphics.

I made them today, and shall be sharing them soon on my art page (keelo15.deviantart.com).

I created them, because it is a saying you may hear, get in a card or just say on a daily basics. 

As for me, I thank everything, and things that happen. 

In any situation, it can not be helped what happens, it's what we choose to do about it.

I do hope this blog post is not too much. But I would like to know if the scheduled blogs were better, or is this the original way to go for my blog. 
Feel free to let me know.

Thank you if you read this far.

Planned Posts (and Others):

- Preview: Jun/Jul 2015 (Collection), available on my YouTube channel, xImmortalMindsx [link]

- Versatile Blogger Award (yep, been nominated), from the lovely basciallychole [link], thank you!

- Selection Of The Collection, or Introduction: the tshirt club (Pr2), [blog link]

Plus, I'm starting to write posts down (except this one, lolls). It makes it easier to re-read, plan posts and allow a copy I guess.

That's all for now.
Hopefully relaxing after this. My head is about to do its thing (headache, dizzy...so on).

Anyway, take care,

Lifestyle: WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW...

1. I want to post

2. I want to do something

3. I'm tired, unwell and confused

What does this all mean?
LIFESTYLE: WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW...
I'm trying to figure out, whether I need another break, or my mind IS in that confused state again.

Now, confusion for me takes weeks to a month, for me to "get through", (find/know the solution(s)).

First cause, is my depression is being a menace. When this happens, it mostly takes my brain with it. I don't like it.

I came to a conclusion the other day, that I'm a workaholic. I say this, because when I work, I feel happy to do things. It's just me.

Exploration, to finding my steps again.
LIFESTYLE: WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW...
I got in touch with the right people, and it's progression to know the problem, or problems. I'm just happy to know them this time, no matter the circumstances.

I just feel like saying this to you, because it's what can happen, and does happen I should say.

I know I can beat this. This is the third time, but second time I've had to seek help, and that's ok. I acknowledge my problem(s) now.

I know, this post is confusing. I'm sorry.
But thank you, you're a friend. Take care,

xImmortalMindsx

P.s - feel free to tell me what you think of my images, on this blog. I feel more happier in using, doing and experimenting with them.

It encourages me to post more too.
Unbelievable, but it does work for me.
Checking over my draft, helps before making them (images). It makes me happy. 😊

Tribute: I LOVE MILITARY ITEMS *with WARNING*

* WARNING: MAY HAVE TRIGGERED MEMORY, (sorry...).*

TRIBUTE: I LOVE MILITARY ITEMS
Ok, so I was just looking through others work on Flickr (https://www.flickr.com), and I came across medals, to actually viewing military items. And it rekindled how I just LOVE them.

Their creations, than what they're actually used for, is what I love. I love the design/style of them, the detail...they're just different.

I do get dreams, ideas, and come across military/army things most of the time, so I feel appreciative to just honour, get involved with tributes, support and I just love how skilled, and from what they actually do with most of their things, and what they do.

I love documentaries, toys and just seeing others who may want to share/give tribute to the military/army.

I could go on all day about this, but I must know when to cool down, and just stop I guess.

MY FAVOURITE MILITARY ITEM:
TRIBUTE: I LOVE MILITARY ITEMS
- Hercules, (double propeller helicopter)

Anyway, I say adieu and I'll leave you with this post. For a question however,

- WHAT MILITARY ITEM DO YOU LIKE?

Feel free to comment at the bottom. Take care,
xImmortalMindsx

P.s - I'm going against what I said in a last post, but I just wanted to share this right now, and...it's just a love of mine. Oooh.... ☺

Lifestyle or Health: ON HOLD

ENTRY: ON HOLD
I wanted to do a blog post today, of the things that I suffered from, to being diagnosed with depression.

I was on the road, happy to come back to be able to continue doing my notes, but the same feeling of being overwhelmed, came back again (began late 2015, this feeling).

It happens when I feel that, something I couldn't control, just found hard to deal with, or talk about, was just another thing that would take time.

It happened again today.

As the hours ticked on, I still feel  overwhelmed. I feel fine, but thinking about it, makes my stomach and head, get into a stubborn, hurtful state. I get really fidgety a lot. So, I stopped.

I'm saying this, because earlier, I REALLY wanted to blog about it (depression). But I wanted to blog, so I blogged this.
I always said, if I'm unable to blog, I would say it on my blog, and just discover why, in a way.

It's troublesome all the time.

I honestly wish I had something(s) positive to say today, but all I can think of is...
"how nasty the air was today".
I guess there was building works, going on in the distance, as I realised. But I just couldn't breath normally, so I did my "inner cocoon" look.

[Scarf over the mouth. Head down. And stay cosy in the jacket].

Actually Thinking:

- WHAT I LEARNT TODAY,

"take time to discover".
Mine was: Feelings, work and art techniques

That's all for now. Take care, and I want to break this barrier. It's annoying.

 **imagining, angst hands, shaking in the air**

Bies,

No. 17: WHAT WOULD I LIKE TO ACHIEVE?

Fantasia Painting(106)
"17. Share a goal and outline how you plan to achieve it.", - http://www.molly-greene.com/101-blog-topic-ideas/

I was stuck on what to blog today, because I REALLY wanted to blog. But I guess I had nothing, from actually HAVING something.

So, this idea came up. It was to 'share what I'd like to achieve, and how', with you.

As you may know or have seen, I love to design. The sort of designs I've mostly showcased are fashion, and that is what I like to do.

I wanted to do fashion design, but now I like fashion illustration.

Example:
- http://keelo15.deviantart.com/art/Fans-1-2-290136131, [BETTER VIEW]

Fans 1 (2) by keelo15 on DeviantArt
- http://keelo15.deviantart.com/art/Fans-1-2-290136131, [BETTER VIEW]

BEFORE:

- What I Wanted To Achieve,

* to get into the artist/designer industry, by working for a company.

* seeing my designs/clothes in stores

And,

* selling my own clothes, in my own store (community supported).

Fantasia Painting(104)
However, plans have changed. They've changed due to my health deteriorating, and not feeling confident to even start this "adventure", I'd call it.

AFTER:

- Plans For Now,

* gaining a way for my work to be sold, even if it's just one

* allowing my work to go offline, such as self-ad, telling others, etc.

* first ever one was, showcasing my work (jobless)...

...and I gradually do this last one.

Whatever the future may hold, for my designs and me, I'm just thankful for this talent. I'm just grateful to be honest.

Fantasia Painting(115)
POST IDEA:

This idea is what I got from a website, from searching: BLOG IDEAS,

- WEBSITE: http://www.molly-greene.com/101-blog-topic-ideas/

And the search, actually came up with a lot of results.

I do hope you liked, my blog post in a way. It's actually a mind opener for me, due to knowing what I liked, and the ideas I had, over the years.

Live your dreams. Good living, and good luck :)

Event: WHAT I'VE DONE THIS MOTHER'S DAY

EVENT: WHAT I'VE DONE THIS MOTHERS DAY
For this Mother's day, - Hi to any Mother's, or Grandmamee's, WE LOVE YOU!! - , I did go back to an idea, where I make a graphic.

I mentioned this as a last minute, kind of gift for Valentine's Day, and I used that idea in a way.

POST:
http://postingvprojects.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/choose-ables-last-minute-valentines.html

Apart from having a last minute way to have something for my Mom, I don't know which craft item I would have done, - letting you know, my Mom likes made things, so I'm all good, lolls.

I haven't brought much since, and I've actually not been able to "gain money" as it may be said.

POST:
http://postingvprojects.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/rant-say-it-again.html

Anyway, for this Mother's day I did make a graphic. I'm just waiting now.

Here are examples of them:

SELECTIONS
For close ups:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/neeky_b


Inspired Patterns:

- free bird pattern (searched)

- free animal pattern (searched)

I hope you liked my idea. And here was the other ideas I wanted to share yesterday, (illness to tiredness came):

LAST MINUTE: MOTHER'S DAY
- design = graphic, favourite place, thing, etc.

- blog post dedication

- post office/local convenience shop

- left over/craft decor = item, room, etc.

- classic little treats = hidden, meals - set already/they know or hidden makes for each time she goes into another room

Take care for now, and have a great Mother's /Grandma's day...

Remember, love for one another, doesn't only have to happen, on one day.

Rant: SAY IT AGAIN....

RANT: SAY IT AGAIN....
I just wanted to do a post today, from some things that have been happening lately. I have to be real, right...?

I know I did a blog post yesterday - it was great - so, I don't really like to 'correspond' in a way where there's this post, to that post, and next days, and so on. I like to read things in my own time, than catch up reading. It's just me.

To talk about now, is "I haven't worked for over a year", and I've been saying this none stop this year. And, it's bugging me.

It's bugging me, because no one listens, no one cares enough, and no one acknowledges, how difficult it is to manage my health these days. Why do they think I haven't been to work, in a year...?!

Now to say so, which I wanted to have, was a video chat Saturday. Yeah, life long, (short) dream I've been wanting to do. But you know what, I'm just really ashamed of how others, may react to some things that, they can't even control.

Thank You For The Venom _ Music Is Life _ Pinterest
Just "give me drugs" and I'll be on my way. NO!!
My Chemical Romance was right all along, "give me all your poison,..." And such. Because all I'm getting, is towards a grave I can't even afford. No thank you.

On the tip of all this, I'm actually gradually getting help from others who do care. Others I know, other health professions, and just seeing the ones, that really understand, "yep, you need this and this done" and that's it. That's all I ever wanted.

I had to wait from last year for that.

New Year's Dress/New Year's Resolution(s)
One step closer...?

IMAGE FROM POST:
http://postingvprojects.blogspot.com/2016/01/new-years-resolutions-2016.html

And now, I'm gradually getting a brain test, to actually know what's going on in my head. I am scared, but hopefully it's not as serious as said.
If you know about it, then feel free to mention. I would like to chat about it.

So, in the news it's no stranger. Patient neglect is slowly creeping in, and I'm one of them. However, I'm not one to "complain" about wrong doings. More than once, is enough in some cases.

I think this is going to be a rant post, because I've been repeating myself lately, and I'm just tired.

Rant
It's not been and is not good on my health at all, I want to live my life, and I want to accomplish things, whether how big or small. I say that for now.

If you have any ideas, or motivational things, posts/vids, etc. that may help with now, or my wanting to do a chatty-sit-down vid, then please feel free to share.
I say please, because I'm wrecking my brains out, on how I could talk to/in a camera for now (I don't have Voice Recorder, at the moment).

Thank you chickadis of the day.

Take care now,
xImmortalMindsx

P.s - I'm really loving, to doing graphics right now. I'm so proud, because I've searched and tested different ones, (software...?).

Collab: SPRING MEMORY

COLLAB: SPRING MEMORY #2
This is a collab post with Abi from the awesome blog, a cuppa and a half. Feel free to view.

- Abi's Blog: http://acuppaandahalf.blogspot.co.uk

- Abi's Post: http://acuppaandahalf.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/collab-month-spring-memories.html

So, we decided to do "Spring Memories", and I can just agree with her on her post, of the blossoming of the buds on trees and flowers, and Easter that comes around in March.

For this subject, I did think about my greatest Spring memory. It would be the time I went "back home" to Jamaica. But, before I start, this shall be a story. You've been warned :).

In Spring 2005, we got a surprise that we were travelling to Jamaica. This would be the first time me, and someone I know, would be going back there. So I was excited, however they knew already.

All I could think about on the day, was that my toys need to come home with me too. I've had them ever since I was two, so yeah.

So, we travelled to Gatwick Airport, in London, and it was so different but, it felt refreshing...apart from feeling sick on the coach 🚌. Sorry. (travel sickness).

Travel Sickness Experience:

- Job Searches + Troubles...?, http://postingvprojects.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/job-searches-troubles.html?m=1

McDonalds Logo We got to eat (McDonalds, breakfast), got the tickets, went toilet at least and waited to get on our plane. Seemed all simple, it was.

When we were on the plane, I honestly thought I'd be scared but I was actually relaxed. We got 'British Airways' and it was comfortable. They made you feel like you were at home, and the tv was good to the radio. Can't say nothing bad about it (I heard them on watchdog since. I hope they change).

We landed in Jamaica, I don't remember the airport. It was hectic, but we took to the road, the view was good, really relaxing and the places looked so green, to orange 🍊, lolls.

We saw people we hadn't seen in ages, went back to the place we lived and did some needed shopping 🏬. We were going to the beach. It was awesome.

The only downfall, was that me and my dad (RIP) got mosquito bites. WHHHHHYYYY?!!! We had to put a lot of 'Bay Rum' on. It was nuts. Don't underestimate wearing jeans 👖 /trousers either. Jeez.

What I Packed...(well, thought to pack):

COLLAB: SPRING MEMORY
- home toys (x2)
- cd player/cds
- TAMMY bag (free)

We went to church, saw the pastor, and we went to my aunties grave (RIP). It was lovely up there. Peaceful, happy and mournful.

When it was time to go home...wait...I forgot the dog 🐶 Rover. Rover was so cute, and had a pink nose. He was CUUUUUTE. His sadly "runaway" as we just know.

Other than that, going home was nice. When we came back to the UK it was COOOOOLD. We were so not feeling it. If we remembered, we would have put on sweaters.

Apart from that, it was good to be back home. We said if we were to go back, we would do the tourist root, which I do recommend. All inclusive as said.

I did keep a diary, and had to do homework while I was there. See school, we do have stuff to do while we're off, meeeh.💃

So, yeah, this is my most favourite Spring memory.

I do hope you get to check out Abi's blog, you'll love it.
