Hey Amazing artists !
Hope and pray that you are enjoying your artwork of life with gratitude and wisdom!
Yes we all know that "life is work of art" and to put your Best to get BEST out of it is very important.
We all are blessed with various kinds of art ,art of thinking ,observing ,accepting ,experiencing and most specially the art of LEARNING FROM CONSEQUENCES of all former arts!
The most learned one gets on the mark or close to it ,What mark?
Obviously we all long for PEACE OF MIND end of the day !
and this is our target which gives motivation to all our struggles !
If we are not distracted by other false temptations we follow our intuitions and reach to our mark EASILY!
But if we put conditions to have it , there is no limit of lust you know :(
Because BIRD OF PEACE SINGS ONLY ON THE BRANCH OF CONTENTMENT :)
So wise artists be focused , determined and loyal to their art and come up with better results!
Today sharing with my special friends our new family photo that we have hung in our living room's front wall.
When my precious eldest baby was here we went to the studio and saved these moments of togetherness!
This one is digitally processed and sharp in colors
The one we have on wall is actual one with normal and little dim colors as we liked our real image more.
Hubby ordered for new study table for my youngest son as he is getting taller and earlier table is little low for him now ,we received it 2 days back
Now one question ,hope you will share your valuable thoughts over the topic .
image source google
I have always avoided to have dressing table or any kind of big or small mirror in my bedroom , Because mirror in bedroom makes me uncomfortable .
I don't know whether it is phobia or any kind of disease .
Is this okay for you to have mirror in bedroom ???
Keep using your art of living for bettering yourself and to embrace the each moment with sense of achievement that comes from making our
" EXISTENCE SUCCESSFUL !"
Lots of best wishes and love!
God Bless you all!
Such a beautiful family photo! A treasure!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much dear Marie!
DeleteWOW...your photo is fantastic, dearest Baili...such a beautiful family!!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how wonderful it looks on your wall.😊😊
Yes, like you, I do feel a bit uncomfortable around mirrors. It sometimes feels like I'm being watched from the other side of them! Lol
And I totally agree with all you've said today...we do indeed receive exactly what we've given in every way: giving out positivity brings positivity and, unfortunately, the opposite is also true.
It is Universal Law, isn't it!
Such a wonderful and uplifting post, thank you so much!😊😊
All my love and hugs xoxoxo
I really appreciate your sweet encouraging words dear Ygraine!
ReplyDeleteYes it is universal law that we have to reap anyway what we have sowed because
By sowing cactus we can't hope to get roses !
Hugs back to you too my friend !
And yes same here though I think I am not superstitious yet mirror specially in nights bother me which is weird
ReplyDeleteI don't have a mirror in my bedroom, I did not plan it that way as the one in the bathroom is enough for me. When my mom had centennial my sister covered her bedroom mirror as it made my mom see ghosts. Your large family photo is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is even more awful to ghost in mirrors dear Christine!
DeleteI can't say that my perspective is same for mirror or not but it is weird that I feel little bit disturbed around them
Good that you got a family photo done. Some families wait too long and they never get back together again fro a photo.
ReplyDeleteOh how sad dear Red!
DeleteYour comment reminded me a story that I read years ago in national language Urdu
In story when family decided to reunite for family photo an accident made it impossible as one member was no more there to be in frame
I can have mirror in bedroom if it doesn't face the bed, a window or a door...I know it makes it very hard to find a place for it. I too do not like mirrors in bedrooms. Love your family photo. Your whole family will cherish it for many years!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it strange that though we know that our mind play games with us and mirrors has nothing wrong still we follow our instincts and feel helpless to change our perspective towards things
DeleteWhat a nice photograph. You have a wonderful family. I think that you should do what you want with your bedroom. If a mirror makes you uncomfortable you should not have one.
ReplyDeleteI don't want mirror in my bedroom and I will stick with my decision
DeleteI remember when back in my native home we had to place mirror in same room where we used to sleep I would request mom to cover the mirror before going to bed
May be it was affect of grandma's ghost stories or what I felt restlessness until it was covered
First of all you have such an attractive family. As far as a mirror in the bedroom I don't have one. It is not because it makes me uncomfortable in any way. I usually only look in the mirror when I wash my face. I stopped wearing make-up many years ago. I just have no use for a mirror in any room except the bathroom.
ReplyDeleteDear Emma will you believe that I am totally not fond of looking in mirror myself
DeleteI always used mirror much lesser than any normal girl or woman
Reason for it is that I am not very concerned about my looks (don't know why) but I never was
I hardly look at mirror when I had to get ready for job or any family event other wise no curiosity for how do I look
Now since some years I started to look at the mirror which is part of my efforts for self encouragement
I just look in my eyes
SMILE and say
"You are doing fine"
It energies me within moment that's it
Your family photo is beautiful. Such a good idea to do this from time to time. I dearly treasure my own family photos from years ago, especially as some members have died and some of us live thousands of miles apart now. I don't have a mirror in my bedroom as I always see a person who looks more like my father than me looking back at me. Mirrors are nice, though. I will carry your thought, "Bird of peace sings only on branch of contentment" with me and remember to count my many blessings.
ReplyDeleteOh this is so disturbing dear friend!
DeleteEither I get feeling of having another mysterious world across the mirror
Which starts to connect with mine when darkness fall
I know this is absolutely false still it is influential
That is a lovely family photo--so nice to treasure! I do have a mirror in the bedroom. It doesn't bother me. I don't always like how I look when I see myself in it, but I don't give it a lot of thought.
ReplyDeleteOh this if relief to know that your mirror in bedroom does not cause you problem dear Connie !
DeleteI think either I should work on my nerves to get as strong as your' s
What a wonderful portrait! I know you will always treasure it. A photograph is truly a moment in time frozen for ALL time, and a good portrait is one of the best examples of that.
ReplyDeleteI have a mirror in the bedroom because I need to check to make sure I haven't forgotten to put the right clothes on or comb my hair before I go to work! One day it didn't work, though; I ended up at work with my "house trousers" on - thank goodness I don't have much contact with the public :)
Haha
DeleteYou can't beat me in such mistakes dear Jenny
During my school job 3 times I wore different shoes in both feet and when after reaching in school my colleagues brought it into my notice it was so embarrassing
One of my kind colleague who had house near school brought her own shoes and gave to me .
Even I was able to see my feet in mirror it was going to happen because I was always in too much RUSH in morning times as had to do so many things in really short time
But sometimes the most embarrassing things we do make the BEST stories, don't they? :)
DeleteI think you are right dear Jenny
Deletebut i am little dull in this art too when it comes to create immediate excuse :)
Beautiful family, baili.
ReplyDeleteThe most important thing in the world.
Beautiful photo capturing that moment in time that will never be captured again at the same moment.
ReplyDeleteMirror in bedroom - yes, I have two and not a problem.
i think i have to learn from you lesson of bravery and strong mindset dear Margaret!
Deletefor me you are so brave to not to be bothered with mirror in your sleeping place
What a beautiful family, dear Baili! Such a nice portrait! Your son's new desk is very nice, too, and so important for having a good place to study. I do have a mirror over my vanity table and a full length one on the antique armoire for dressing. I don't mind them there, as they are not near the bed. I don't think I could sleep if I could see myself in a mirror! That would scare me in the morning :) Sending hugs xo Karen
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Karen!
ReplyDeleteyes it is absolutely right that either i can't sleep front or beside or even near the mirror
it takes away my sense of loneliness , feel i am at the edge of another unknown weird world
Nice photo of a beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteGreat post.
Dear Baili, have a nice weekend.
Kisses.
Dear Baili, in reading books on Fung Shui (not sure of spelling), I learned that mirrors are fine in the bedroom so long as they are hidden in some way and do not reflect the person sleeping there. With your mirror, you could put it on the inside of a closet door. Then when the door is closed, the mirror is not evident. I hope all is well. I surely like the photograph! Peace.
ReplyDeleteDear Dee to have mirror in bedroom I need lots of control over my head to not think about one hidden in closet
DeleteIt's not mirror it's my freaking head actually which need to be fixed
And I am sure once I decided to overcome it I will hopefully
what a beautiful family portrait, your boys/men are so handsome!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Debbie!
DeleteYes they are indeed by the grace of God!
That is an amazing family photo! What a lovely treasure.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind a mirror as long as it doesn't get in the way or take up too much space.
You mean you don't consider mirror in your bedroom a magical window that invite you to another side of it it stays just a mirror for you anyway
DeleteThis is very powerful my dear Martha I am really impressed.
It is research that when our brain lacks some certain vitamins it get illusions which
Trick our thoughts on bad manners
I think I have to find out what kind of vitamin my brain lacks to make it hard for me
That is such a lovely family picture …
ReplyDeleteWe have a mirror in the bedroom, but perhaps if you are not too keen on mirrors one could one be fixed to the inside of a wardrobe door, so it's there should you need it.
All the best Jan
I was not keen of mirrors even in young age dear Jan which sounds weird even to me while saying that but it's true
DeleteI like your thoughts on "art" ...of living - etc. Love your family photo. It's been years since we had one taken with all the family. I don't have a mirror in my room and I only have a small bathroom medicine cabinet mirror. I had gotten rid of furniture when we sold years ago and never replaced a dresser with mirror. Instead I use a simple cubed looking thing with squares drawers ..not really cubed it is like 6 feet by 2 or 3 feet wide ..anyway, bought at Ikea and no mirror. I don't have any objection to a mirror but these days I'd rather not see myself first thing in the morning, lol.
ReplyDeleteThat is nice to not have objection on having mirror which sounds normal and likely usually as I know people around who have mirrors or mirrored dressing table in bedroom and they don't give it serious thought
DeleteMy case feels like of wild imagination that freaks out sometimes
Beautiful photo! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
Lovely family photo! Mirrors in bedrooms - goodness me yes! I have a whole wall of mirrored doors (wardrobe of clothes behind) in our bedroom - which the whole family use to pose in front of - you have to check you are looking your best - why not! it also brings light into the room. I guess we all have times we don't like how we look, but take heart - we don't see ourselves as others do - we see the things we don't like but they see all the things they love about us and that's what others focus on! and of course God gave us our bodies in his likeness so personally I think mirrors are ok and admiring our reflection without too much vanity is very acceptable! hope that helps. x
ReplyDeletep.s. I just noticed your reply on another comment - a magical window to another world - what a wonderful idea - I used to think this as a child .... I guess there's no reason to think that 'the other side' is harmful, I have always had that feeling of 'being watched' and maybe that's why!
ReplyDeleteThis so right dear Betty
Delete"the feeling of being watched" exactly that is my point
When it gets dark I can't stand mirror around as firstly it turns the appearance of all reflections mysteriously and secondly it bothers me with constant realisation that someone is giving me a very weird look OH this just don't let me sleep
What a beautiful family you have, dear Baili! Such a lovely photo. We have a full length mirror inside the closet door and another round facial mirror hanging as a picture. They are both practical and behave themselves.
ReplyDeleteAmalia
xo
Haha
Deletewell said dear Amalia "behave themselves "
They reflect your strong head indeed
So nice to see your family portrait, Baili. To answer your question about a mirror in the bedroom, we do not have any eithr on a dresser or on the wall in our apt. We do have mirrors in the bathroom and one in another room, and that is enough for us.
ReplyDeleteWe also just like you one have installed in huge ironed wardrobe and other in front yard wall where hubby use it for shaving purpose
DeleteGood day dear Baili, your family photo is beautiful. Your sons are getting so big. Mirrors in the bedroom can be tricky as far as I am concerned. I consult with the art of Feng Shui when decorating any room. In the bedroom never place a mirror so you can see yourself in it from in the bed, that is bad Feng Shui. Also do not have two mirrors opposite each other as this stirs up lots of energy and makes sleeping difficult. You can Google use of mirrors in the bedroom Feng Shui and read all about it. In my bedroom there are two built-in closets with large mirrored doors that are almost opposite each other which caused me many bad dreams and sleepless nights over the years, even to the point of hallucinations as I could see the energy being transferred between them. After reading about the use of mirrors in the bedroom I moved my bed to a different solid wall and covered one set of mirrored doors. This made such a big difference. I do sleep so much better, have no bad dreams or hallucinations. Sometimes I can still see the energy in the room but nothing bad anymore.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Carol for sharing your experience of having mirror in bedroom!
DeleteI have never had mirror in bedroom though but I slept few times in mirrored bedroom as guest
I still remember I could not sleep even though hubby was laying beside me
Then I got up and covered it
I got but disturbing sleep afterwards.
Since I got Into my senses I can feel the weird energy waving around by the mirror but only in nights
Hi, Baili! I love your family portrait. What handsome men you have! I really like how the photographer captured you, so calm and peaceful! I read your thoughts on mirrors and all the comments they provoked. We don't have a mirror in the bedroom, but only because we have a huge one in the bathroom. Mirrors don't bother me at all, and I was surprised to learn about others' feelings regarding mirrors. When I was a teacher I had lots of small mirrors for kids to explore with, especially symmetry. We had great fun. I do think that some people experience things beyond the range of what is typical for humans, so it doesn't surprise me when people speak about feeling or seeing energy, for example. I absolutely believe that a bedroom should be a place of peace and refuge, and that everyone should choose what makes him or her happy in this personal space. Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Louise!
DeleteYes I too we all liked the way he photographed us .looks really a family portrait :)
Your thoughts about mirrors don't surprise me :)
You are amazingly strong headed lady and this is not exceptiona to have such realistic approach .
I am not superstitious in any other way either but mirror in bedroom spoil my sleeping somehow
Such a beautiful photo! I have a mirror in my bedroom. I love it! But, do what is best for you!
ReplyDeleteYour family photograph is wonderful and precious :-)
ReplyDeleteMy bedrooms have mirrored wardrobes. I like them because they reflect light and nature from outside. The mirrors make the rooms look brighter and also connect me with nature outside my window.
