Each of the Four Sacred Seasons: Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, Autumnal Equinox & Winter Solstice, Dear Lady Lyndy will present for your viewing pleasure answers to your questions received through blogging comments &/or email.

The Spring Equinox celebration once again has disappeared & yet the Holiday celebrations continue on with a Beautiful Spring Season. The glory of Easter Magick is just around the corner. Lady Lyndy's seasonal Spring Topic(s) are: NEW POSITIVE BEGINNINGS, MIND, BODY & SOUL HEALTHY IMPROVEMENTS TO MORE INFORMATION ON THE PUBLISHING OF MY BLACK CAT HALLOWEEN ART BOOK(S).

DEAR LADY LYNDY,
How does one make a new beginning when the economy is collapsing?
GEORGE FROM NEW YORK ~ NEW YORK

DEAR GEORGE FROM NEW YORK ~ NEW YORK,
Stop stressing over the economy & start making your new beginning with the blessings you already have. Remember family & your belief system should be your center ALWAYS working with what you already have.

****************************

DEAR LADY LYNDY,
What can one do to keep their mind, body & soul healthy during these stressful times?
BAD DOG

DEAR BAD DOG,
Staying healthy includes a balanced diet, getting enough rest/sleep, good hygiene & plenty of exercise. People who practice good nutrition, rest, hygiene & exercise patterns develop a lifetime of habits that will keep them healthy for many years. Especially during the stressful times.

IMPORTANT: Keep your heart & mind strong by cutting out bad food additives. Read the labels on your grocery products.

****************************

DEAR LADY LYNDY,
Since everybody has had to cut back this New Year, will you still be able to publish your black cat Halloween art book?
MISS SALLY

DEAR MISS SALLY,
Thank you for asking about my black cat Halloween art book. Yes, but the time frame has been delayed due to our credit lines being frozen for now. I'm determined to see this black cat Halloween art book through, no matter how long it takes!

****************************

DEAR LADY LYNDY,
Have you asked anyone to help you with writing, photographing, computer organizing & publishing your black cat Halloween art book?
KARINA KELLY

DEAR KARINA KELLY,
Yes, I even provided a computer & a salary. But way to many wrenches were thrown in the path of completing this very special black cat art book even before this last economic crunch happened.

The friends & people that were suppose to help did not or could not follow through. This was very disappointing, especially since I've spent so much time & money on many supplies & various art works. I've learned my lesson well, only count on yourself when it comes to completing any book project.

****************************

DEAR LADY LYNDY,
First I would like to say, I always look forward to your informative Lady Lyndy Sorceress Of Light column.

When you get the funds & if you are self-publishing, have you decided what publishing company is probably best for your black cat Halloween art book?
BLACK CATS RULE

DEAR BLACK CATS RULE,
THANK YOU for your very nice comment. Yes, I don't want some fly by night self publishing company, so I have decided on the Amazon Publishing Company. That way my black cat Halloween art book will be in the Amazon Book Stores (Including the Internet Book Stores) & in the public libraries, especially school libraries, etc.... This will cost quite a bit more, but well worth it because of the distribution considerations.

PLEASE REMEMBER, that I'm dealing with 50 + artists & not just my own personal black cat art work. I never in my wildest dreams thought I could write & publish an art book of this magnitude over night. It took time & loads of money (all on my credit cards) just to acquire this black cat OOAK Halloween art collection.

So keep good thoughts & good prayers for my book project to keep moving forward. It was always about my love for all my favorite black cat Halloween art & artists in the first place.

Angela said...

Hi Lyndy, great advice column!

Question though? I see you love Halloween. That Ghouls Gone Wild painting & contest is great Halloween fun. But isn't it seasonal? It's only spring!

Angela

LYNDY WARD said...

Hi Angela, thanks for the comment & great question!

I love Halloween all year long. In the Millennium the Halloween 'OOAK' Original One Of A Kind artist has become more than just a seasonal artist.

WHY??? Because some (sorry not all) of these craft artists have become part of an incredible art movement. They have superseded the craft world with their wonderful art work. They have become 'Today's Gold' in collectibility with actual investment quality art work.

That's why I'm writing my Halloween black cat art book, so I can explain the history of Halloween art collectibles through the OOAK art works of these very talented Halloween artists of today.

* My opinion is that the best thing would be to work on till art lovers feel drawn toward it of their own accord, instead of having to praise or to explain it.
Vincent Van Gogh 1853 ~ 1890

Sadly, Vincent Van Gogh never knew how much he & his art would be loved or it's worth, (in the millions).

My opinion is that one should not leave this planet young or old without ever knowing their worth, be it art, life's accomplishments or how much they are loved.

AND on Halloween or at least once in a lifetime one should be allowed to have as much sweetness & joy as one can possibly want & hold. 

I prefer OOAK Halloween Black Cat Art all year long, it's less fattening!

Hug or Virtually Hug someone today & tell them how much they mean to you...

Halloween Blessings Filled With Sweetness & Joy,
Lyndy
