Chaunine Joy - Angels and Demons, A Love Affair

Angels and Demons, A Love Affair

I just had to laugh when I saw this picture. It unintentionally captured an aspect of life that I love so much. The yin and yang of being alive. Our time in the light and our time in the shadows. Between the contrast of the two, life is beautiful, rich and full of meaning and lessons. I never feel really fulfilled as an artist unless I'm working on a balance between the two. 

I love the complex love affair between angels and demons. I can honestly say that some of what I thought were the scariest demons in life that I've faced, turned out in the end to be some of the greatest blessings I could have asked and prayed for my angels to deliver. 

You'll often see me wearing clothing and jewelry with skulls on them. They are a reminder to myself that everything is not always as it seems and when I see those hollow "demon" eyes appear in situations in my life, to ask myself what blessing is this angel in disguise bringing to me on the other side of that toothy grin. All the while Buddha over my shoulder smiles that knowing smile as he knows that angels and demons are two sides to the same coin. 

Have a blessed day all.

I Need To Tell You I Love You

I Need to Tell You I Love You

 I need to tell you, I love you. 

 

The blissful burst my heart would give, were I to touch your skin and show you with my fingertips how you make me tremble.

 

Somehow, it seems

 

through that one touch, I could tell you that all that I know to be good is held in you.

 

I know this kind of love. 

 

It is the power that spins planets in the skies and oceans move and sway to its pulse. 

 

Such a love I feel blaze through me at the sight of your name, the sound of your voice, a thought that blushes across my face.

 

If I could speak these words, if I could put voice to this love, this fever, this pulse, this.... love, 

 

not words but flowers, starlight, bird song and endless sunsets rioting in their rapture would spill from my lips. 

 

Surely this is the magic of which the stars and universes are born. 

 

No more a mystery to me, the origins of this world of wonders.

 

‘Tis the offspring of the gods that give themselves over to this delicious, dizzy, swirl and swoon. 

 

Quickened beating of hearts and minds, 

 

beauty binds and becomes all we see with earthly eyes. 

 

I need to tell you, I love you.

I'm Having a Two Dime Day!

Two Dime Day

There was a day many years ago when all seemed lost. I was taking a walk outside doing my best to think how in the world I could make things turn out right. 

I sat on a rock underneath a little grove of trees at the side of the street that I was on. As I sat there pondering things, my foot shuffled a few leaves and two tiny dimes appeared at my feet. 

Somehow those two sweet dimes shining at me were so bright and cheery, it felt like they had been hidden there for me to find as a message from the powers that run this universe that all was well and my guardian angels had my back. 

From that point on, I have happily picked up every coin that finds its way mysteriously into my life and the phrase was born, “I’m having a Two Dime Day!” 

 Over the years, the collection has grown quite a bit. Just when I need them most, shiny little coins show up in magical, mysterious ways to let me know all is well. I see every little dime and penny as a sweet love note from the universe that I am loved and have more blessings than I can ever count with a cheering squad that has angel wings. 

Wishing you all a Two Dime Day!  Love you all!
