Inspirations Among Us (IAU)

Hello, 

In life we meet people that inspire us, help us to grow in positive ways (mind, body, and soul), and whom can truly make a difference in our lives. These people often do offer many amazing opportunities to us, and it’s important to grab hold of those opportunities that can arise. Especially when “the sock fits” us as individuals/ people. 

I want to share part of a conversation I had with a friend today, to show you what I mean. It started like any other conversation, but then turned into more. My friend, let’s call her... Dawn, is an artist of sorts like myself.  Dawn invited me to a painting party she plans to have in the future, and of course I accepted the invitation.

After which, I was talking to her about how we are like-minded with some areas of our creative selves, and how I see that together we can have a lot of potential in these areas.
Next we started talking about downsizing, this is where we also started into something inspiring that is now in the planning stages. Here is part of our conversation...

Me: ‘ If I can downsize enough, then I will be able to focus on what I actually want/ want to make for sale. ’ 
Dawn: “For sure.” 
Me: ‘ I would also love if you came over to use a machine with me (I have 2), so we can do it together and also learn how... together. ’ 
Dawn: “I’d love that.” 
Me: ‘ I would love that too. So come over already! And let me visit you too to help get you ready for it... lol ‘ 
Dawn: “... in early March for sure!“ 
Me: ‘ And we could do a fashion show ‘ 
Dawn: “Absolutely” 
Me: ‘ And it doesn't take a lot of pieces to do a fashion show... It just takes about 5-10 probably... Although I bet we would make way more... ‘ 
Dawn: “I'd aim for 10-20“ 
Me: ‘ Our brilliant minds together can go far in fashion I am sure... ‘ 
Dawn: “Oh indeed.” 
Me: ‘ And your photography would totally help there too. As would my social self... So why are we waiting for me to start visiting you? lol ‘ 
Dawn: “Good point!” 
Me: ‘ I am always willing to do "art therapy" with you with anything creative we can do together... I just want to help you grow faster so that you can grow into what you want sooner. ‘ 
Dawn: “Sweet” 
Me: ‘ I want to strengthen us and get us where we want/ should and can be. ‘ 
Dawn: “I love your attitude. You really are inspiring.”

This is just one example of inspirations among us. There are many people I have met whom have inspired me in life, and a few whom have become not just a muse, but a friend as well. I feel there is a HUGE amount of untapped potential out there with many of them, and I don’t plan on letting such opportunities ”slip through my fingers”. I value them, and I am honoured to be considered as their friend.

If you have met me in person, truly know me as a person, and are one of my friends, know that I am always willing to help us grow in as many positive ways as possible. I am here in this world as a positive conduit if need be, and I am glad to do it. 

So the next time you encounter a friend, muse, or someone else offering opportunities that fit you... Take them!
It just may turn out to be something awesome!
Until next time,
Take care & Safe travels.
Sincerely,

Mortisha M./ C.E.S. (^&^)

C.E.S. - Why I do it

(~*~)

Hello,
   Some have asked why I started my 3 major projects/ "business initiatives"... So I'm "spilling the beans". 
=
WHO
As an Individual :
   I care about Life being positive, and try to promote/ help preserve what is pure & good. For myself, my children, their children, and our globe as an entity of it's own ("Mother Nature"). 
+
As an Artist/ Community Member: 

   Inspirations surround me, like a blanket on a cold stormy night.

 My projects/ creations are my assistants, to pass on my thoughts into my existence.

   I care to grow positively along the way; and spread the love too. All while meeting new friends. Who knows, some may become close/ true friends, as possible collaborators/ resources in our arts & culture community. I have become a "community builder" (both online & off), with my volunteering efforts since 2009.
WHY

Along adventures in my life's journey, I have discovered many-a-disturbing facts.

Among them...
1. Our resources for "independent"/ creative thinking and what's known as "common sense", seems to be depleting/ disappearing.
   My '3Cs' (creativity, collaborations, and community building) efforts started; as my 3 major projects/ "business initiatives" went online. As resources/ creative outlets they enabled supporting those around me (including enablers), as well as my own ideas. All are welcome to share, join me/ us on projects, or invite me/us to join them.
 &
2. There are still continual attempts in society, to suppress women.
   Trying to "do something about it", with my support for creative women. A project with a friend years ago started the fruition of our name for this, while another friend's visit years later started our first official website with me! 
I/ We are happy to support creative women in their efforts.
+
An excellent example - I can't let the memory of it "die"!
Tamara Minns, owned a shop that was "legendary" in honouring and attempting to aid artisans of all kinds, from all over Canada! It was called "Rare Funk", and it was a huge contributor & support to our arts & culture community. 
They are both greatly missed, among many community members.

For more about Tamara Minns & "Rare Funk": My Blog & Rare Funk on Facebook.

+

As an "Ideas Gal"/ Entrepreneur:   
   With projects under way since 1985 or earlier, I have yet to encounter a lack of ideas. As I  expanded into our digital age with an online presence, it quickly grew into 3 completely different directions from there. I made the one that all "branched out" from as my "house" for them all. Official with a name of it's own, it uses the same initials as my real name - this way any copyrights for it/ me cover both (so was my intent).
More Information:  Need 2 Know    

+

Since then, I changed the name for a better/ more attuned to my ideas/ projects better. Now called " Wild Collab World ", and is sometimes referred to/ known as " Cosmic Pirates Productions ". 

Online presences seem to be taking on one or the other, more than anything else. 

My most used social media are:

YouTube: Cosmic Pirates Productions; @Wild Collab World 

Instagram: Wild_Collab_World; @My name

Facebook:

Profile

Pages: Chris S' Projects, Wild Wicked World,  Wild Wicked Women - Creative Collective, and Cosmic Pirates Productions 

My Groups: Wild Wicked World/ W3 - Earth, and Rock 'N ' Roll Friends 

Groups I Contribute to: Me(n)tal Health And Music, Dance Events in Southern Ontario, Niagara Goth, Let's Talk About Gothic Fashion, Witches of Wortley Dance Troupe, and a few others randomly.

TikTok: TrishT.Dish1369; @Cosmic Pirates Productions
=
My Goals for each:
Try to help to "spread the love"/  promote Life positives, and build community. I find it can also promote independent thinkers and thinking, present/ preserve "good role models" for all generations, and generally "do good". As creative outlets/ multifunctional resource spaces, and for my/ our "grand ideas", learning resources, and a space to brainstorm together like a "virtual" office!, and of course for sharing our activities/ events, and products/ services. For free, so feel free. (^&^)

Online presences:

Other than what's listed above: List by request.

"Continuous Construction" is ongoing here, as are self improvement attempts throughout Life.

My Random Add - RE: Going more "green":
