I hope my “energetic paint brush” has come through your computer screen to
paint some full color energy in your space today. What I know for sure right now

my actions, and my beliefs.
I have been faced with some very real and HUGE life challenges the past
couple of years. I know now what it means to be faced with life lessons that can
appear too daunting to learn. I have felt like giving up, giving in, succumbing to
the invitation to take the path of least resistance. I have felt fear and guilt like
never before. AND I have learned to lean in even harder, into my creative
practice, to consciously and intentionally create change on an energetic level.
I paint symbols and surround myself with images that boost my energy, reinforce
my greatest desires, and fuel my passion for living my most authentic self!
Life is the canvas of your soul. You are here to live as a CREATOR. How does it
get any better than that!?
I leave you with a poem from Hafiz. Let it illuminate for you this divine path that
you chose in this lifetime and your infinite creative power that infuses each
moment.

From all the hard work you do
Of bringing pain to your sweet eyes and heart.
Look in a clear mountain mirror—
See the Beautiful Ancient Warrior
And the Divine elements
You always carry inside
