Aurora The Goddess of Dawn - Number 9 of 30 Goddesses in 30 Days

I am a woman who likes the "in between", the moments of Transition, or the grey areas. I have always been intrigued by the bridge between earth and sky, and the morning and evening twilight. These moments to me are the magic time, the times when anything is possible, when things are up for interpretation, and when we can change the course of things. And so, I feel this is when we are most connected with our own intuitive senses and need to trust in ourselves as we walk the path.

These thoughts are what inspired my 9th Goddess painting in the Goddess series, Aurora Goddess of the Dawn. Aurora represents the Dawn, the beginning of the Morning Twilight. For me, this is the bridge between day and night, when the Sun is thinking of making its appearance yet the moon and stars are still at the party. All of the elements of day and night are present. Hopeful wishes of what the day has to bring creep into the mind, while we are still wrapped in the cloak of the night's safety and comfort. The twilight sky emits a color palette conjoining the polarities and glows the color of "Infinite Possibility".

And so, this is my interpretation of Aurora. She herself was painted during the twilight, with a dreamy look in her eyes as she looks up at the sky and its wonderment. Dawn's colors flow through her hair while the stars still twinkle just for her.

This painting was created with Peerless Transparent Watercolors on Strathmore Watercolor Paper. She is the 9th Goddess in my 30 Goddesses in 30 Days series.

Dona Nobis Pacem - Grant Us Peace

My entire adult life has been spent seeking, sharing, and Being Peace. I strive to surround myself with people who live their lives in a peaceful way, and try to inspire those who struggle to obtain it. When I was young, I was blessed to grow up in an area of Upstate NY that was rich in cultural diversity. "Normal" to me was being immersed in that melting pot that was defined by so very many cultures and religions. My memories are filled with weekend events - celebrations, dinners, and dances held at different cultural community centers and churches. Everyone was welcome, and everyone would partake. This place had been a destination for many immigrants years back due to the opportunities for work. I remember my grandparents telling me about the old shoe and cigar factories, which were popular places for jobs. As the area grew, more and more industry came. Families were proud and grateful to have life long jobs that allowed them to take care of their families. There

The "Crowning" of the new Queen Bee was widely celebrated and holds special significance not only within her Hive, but throughout our worldly existence.
