Dancing with Pinterest - Real Estate Gone Bananas - Finding the Road to Balance and Happiness--all things are good if you choose to see them that way. It is a refined art and way of life. I have been away from ActiveRain for a while and although each and every day, I have had a thought to return.....I am pleased to say that there is a new awareness in my life and it seems to be resident.

A Review of the Last Few Months would involved several topics. Some of more interest than others. I will choose to write about the interesting ones because I want to. There is an unfolding going on and I have to say that while there have been some disappointments there has also been such evolution going on for the lifestyle that we live and work.

Dancing with Pinterest--it all began with exploring Pinterest and finding a visual world to market and brand for who I am as a person and as a Realtor. The possibilities for us are endless with our plans for Pinterest. It has reformatted my brain and caused a revolution in my thinking. It became that one little step that created a whirlwind of change for me and leads me forward in a new world of marketing.

Photo Art--Pinterest has taken me to the next step in my creative love of photography and art. Exploring Pinterest has broadened my palette for refinement in what my eye loves and what makes my heart delight. Spirit is so necessary in life and for me it is connected visually to my world in all I do. I found a playground of visual delights that is like traveling the world over to share and to embrace what makes us dance. It is diverse and it is up to each individual to carve out what makes you dance and allows you to discover new levels of creativity.

I have long wanted to put a focus on my photographic work. Pinterest has helped me move in that direction. I created my first photo blog on Tumblr.com. It is the launching pad for my photo art that I Pin to a Board on Pinterest. As I enjoyed learning how to pin on Pinterest....I created many boards that were fun and heartful for me. One that I particularly enjoy is a Board about Pink things and I named it Pinkster. It is my favorite Board and so as things have evolved, I looked for a domain name for my Tumblr blog. Pinkster was taken but iPinkster was available and so check out my photo blog at www.iPinskter.com. I love it!

Marketing and Branding--what a lovely way to brand who you are and to embrace the lifestyle of your work and how you live. Connection to our world and how we see the world is on a more real level than verbal communication can convey. Art has always been a beautiful thing for me for there are not words but only the visual connection of my heart to the work. Just as Social Media awakened within me a need to be creative in expression of words and thoughts so has Pinterest moved that forward with the combination of artful expression that can have tendrils of connection to a brand, service or product. It becomes very compelling and effective.

Real Estate Gone Bananas--our local real estate market has gone bananas and is so wild that it is surreal. I have grown to understand and be comfortable with the fact that I am an objective observer of the market and here as a guide for others. I am only interested in speaking with those that can hear. We have downsized and positioned our lifestyle to work in a balanced and happy way. As my work in marketing and branding for our real estate business has evolved so has our love to share the beauty of our area and to share with relocation clients the diverse lifestyle choices that exists here in Shasta County, California. All our work continues to promote and establish the business we wish to nurture and grow. We are designing our future and how it will all come together.

The Road to Balance and Happiness--life is so grand and offers such opportunity. All things are possible and it is our choice to view life as our opportunity to design and live the life we choose. We can do it...all of us...we just have to want to.

If you are looking to relocate to the North State, give us a call and we will send you a digital relocation package of information and data on the North State, We like to include some of our photography along with the package so that you can see the beautiful place we live and work in. We call it "Living The Shasta Lifestyle"!

Jeanean - I always enjoy your photography so much.  It not that you simply point the camera and shoot, but it's how you add editing skills to catapault the pictures from photos into art.  The wonderful texturing on some of those flowers is incredible.

Welcome back my friend, and CONGRATULATIONS on having this blog FEATURED in the Photos group!

Those are some neat modifications. Wonder what you could do with a listing photo. Stylize someone's new home and frame it for them?

Jeanean - I meant to ask, what application or program did you use to provide the texture and effects on your photo flowers?  Was it via Pinterest?  I just put in for an invite from them, so I'm hoping so.  I'm especially interested in how you created the texture on the pink flowers.  Really special stuff!

Hello all! Thank you for coming to visit and share my latest thing in life. I just love Pinterest and I am so having fun with it. It is amazing how it provides a level of exposure to those things the eye likes and the evolution of the discernment that occurs. Really love it.

Mryl, I am going to answer down the line but thank you for the feature and also wanted to share how I get the texture in the "Red Rose" and the "Pink Flower". It is actually in one other but more refined.

I am using Photoshop CS6. I was given the beta version to try and I just love it. I have Photoshop Elements but I must now get PS CS6. It is a filter that you can render for "Oil Paint". We can chat about it if you like. Pinterest is just a place where you can collect "eye candy" things that you personally like. I find that it is speeding up my development in my photo work. I like that.

We are converting our dining room (which we never use) into a studio. We will be setting up a professional lighting system so that we can play around and learn. Looking forward to having lots of fun.

Thanks everyone for visiting me. I miss you all and hope to be back several times a week to post and visit. I am not promising....just going to do it. So great to touch base and hear from you all!

I can relate to talking only to those who hear. So many people try to waste our time with no intention to follow our advice.
