Hidden Intentions: Sacred Heart of Refined Joy
One Heart to change the World
Hello there! In this blog I would like to share everything about the Sacred Heart of Refined Joy, how it came to Life, how it was created and of course why!
Be sure to read the Three Sacred Texts that are digitally encrypted into the Sacred Heart and how they came to Life!
Enjoy! :))
Let's start with the beginning
After launching the happy “:)” Smiling Collection, it was about time to truly draw my own designs. I always wanted to make a design with a Heart or little Hearts. Little did I know, that 2 years later I would stand in front of the Sacre Coeur, in Paris for a photoshoot for a new design called the Sacred Heart of Refined Joy!
So why the Sacred Heart?
I think that after those 2 years I was finally ready. Ready to be able to truly co-create a design for Refined Joy from my Heart. At that time I remembered that my mother told me not so long ago about the Sacre Coeur in Paris, in France. She told me that she had an amazing time and experiences there. She said that she felt so vibrant and peaceful when she meditated in the Sacre Coeur and just felt so alive and fulfilled when she walked around the Sacre Coeur and in the beautiful Painters’ Quarter of Paris called Montmartre. Which is one of my favourite places till this day!
So this started the ball rolling! She explained to me what Sacre Coeur means in French and it means Sacred Heart and I was wowed! I already loved the Heart itself, but a Sacred Heart that sounded even more wonderful! I did not even know it existed. I wanted to know more about it and as I talked about it with my mother & did some research on my own I ended up at the doorstep of my dear friend nobody less than Jesus himself. Wild Story ey!
He preached and stood for Love, Kindness, Unity and Truth. Which is all that I am longing and living for. I always have felt this deep longing in my Heart to make a change. To create more Joy, Laughter, Connection and Kindness into this World and that’s why I felt called to start Refined Joy in the first place. Because of this I began to feel really close to him and got even more curious about who he was, what he did and I just wanted to get to know him better.
As I got to know more about him, experienced him and learned more about the Sacred Heart, I knew that this was going to be the new design of Refined Joy. As you may know, I Love shining sunshines! They are so Joyous, Vibrant, Alive, Happy and Cute while they carry a deep Wisdom too!
This new design will be the Sacred Heart of Jesus Chirst, drawn into my own drawing style of Refined Joy and it will be called:
the Sacred Heart of Refined Joy
The 3 Sacred Texts
I like to make subtle or even hidden Loving and Kind gestures, texts and symbols on all my creations. Not only because I just think it is a lot of fun, which it is! I also believe that they strengthen the Intentions and Love that I have put into my creation. Be it a Clothing Hanger, Clothing Peg or a Design of Refined Joy!
It’s for those who notice, an extra fun and kind surprise when they look were most do not :)
The Process of the Sacred Texts
So, I knew I wanted to add a little cute text and a little Golden Heart into the Sacred Heart of Refined Joy and put it a layer underneath the design so I could digitally encrypt it into the design itself. It would not be visible, but it will for ever be there, how cool! So I started drawing the text with the little Golden Heart that I had in mind. This is what I drew at first:
Little did I know that this text would not be used and would be replaced by Three very Profound and Sacred Texts that truly reached the depth of the Sacred Heart. It was way better than I could make up myself!
A Change of Events
As I was drawing this text “I Love You So Very Much” on my Tablet (The drawing above) for the Sacred Heart and suddenly I hear a crystal clear voice in my mind saying:
“I Love All of You”
And I was wowed! Because it was so much more Profound than what I was planning to do! (Side note: I am making my own Refined Joyous Font, which is getting closer and closer to being finshed!)
So I started gathering the letters I already made from this font of Refined Joy to make this new, way better text. And somewhere in that process of gathering the letters I hear this voice again. It was coming from the same source and said these two following texts:
“Remember who you are”
and
“You Are Love”
I was wowed again! I would love to explain why, because these texts hit so deep and are so profound. Lets start with the first one!
The True Meanings of these Sacred Texts
“I Love All of you”
It hits Home because this says two things that are just so Heartwarming <3
1. I Love All of You, meaning I Love everyone and everyone equally, no one is exempt of my Love
2. I Love All of You, meaning I Love All of that of who you are, All the unloved parts of you that you might not have accepted yourself, I Love them deeply and only all of you fits inside my Heart
“Remember Who You Are”
This might be the most important one, as we tend to forget in our lives who we truly are, and that is nothing short of a Living Miracle carrying the deepest essence of Unconditional Love in our Hearts
P.S. It’s also one of my favourite lines from the Lion King, when Simba talks to his Father again who is in Heaven, after wanting to forget where he came from and what he is to do here in Life
“You Are Love”
It is a confirmation of the Sacred Text above, You are Love, and only that is what you are. You are none of the judgemental thoughts in your mind, you are not the behaviours that do not serve you and you are not the fear you experience. You are simple a reflection of Unconditional Love, having a Human Experience on Earth <3
Thank you
I now know who me told the Sacred Texts and if you have been reading this post I guess it is not too hard to figure it out haha. All I can say is that I am so grateful and thankful for have had the opportunity to receive this deep Love and Wisdom that it carries.
Little disclaimer: Religion can be a beautiful thing, but I want to point out that I am not religious, and if anything would be my religion, it would be Life itself.
I believe in a force that is both within us and all around that is holding us always in this profound and deep Unconditional Love. Call it Life, God or the Universe to me it is all the same ✨
May the Love that exists within you lighten up your Heart and show you the way :)
For you are an unstoppable force of badassessness!
You got this!
I Love You
After all that being said, I just have two words left:
Thank you <3
The Next Creation Process
And so I wrote them down, created them within the Refined Joy Font and placed them one layer below the Sacred Heart of Refined Joy, grouped them together, exported it into a editable PDF File and the Sacred Heart of Refined Joy is complete <3
Want to know more about the process from design to shirt? I’ll explain every other little detail from drawing to the Shirt how it all happened into a new BLOG which is coming soon!
New Designs are coming :))
Feel free to comment or share your thoughts!
Kindest Regards,
Jeroen :)
