How Bubbles Reflect Our Energy

How Bubbles Reflect Our Energy

  Blowing bubbles as a kid was always a favorite thing to do. No matter how small the soap holder, it was always a challenge to see how big a bubble you could create. The competition with my brothers was endless, and fun. Your breath blows into the soap and a...

The Parallels of Healing and Sandpaper

The Parallels of Healing and Sandpaper

Life challenges us. The healing journey sometimes feels like an out and back hike, but in this analogy, to come full circle, we begin and end with a piece of 0000 steel wool. When we begin to sense something is wrong with a situation, it can feel like 0000 steel wool...

The Power of an Apology

The Power of an Apology

This morning while trying to find a parking spot at the local farmer’s market, a cop pulled up next to me and yelled at me to move and not block traffic. I’d found what was the last spot on the block, and yes, I was mucking up the flow of traffic. I moved ahead and...

The Cancer Within

The Cancer Within

This is the cancer within my body. One night, it asked to be seen. So, as I do with much of my art, it intuitively drew and then colored itself. Entitled, The Cancer. It’s been named and drawn because it’s very real. In the past, it’s been easy to disassociate from...

The Rules of Silence

The Rules of Silence

You will never be able to win your game as long as you’re playing by someone else’s rules. Why boundaries are vital to your being. I’m not typically interested in royal shenanigans. They’re human just like us, but with a lot more money and level of prestige greater...
