The Goddess of Starting Over

This Goddess carries no name.....for now, because for now she is in a self induced dormancy. She has laid down all of the extra baggage that she has been carrying around, all that luggage that has been weighing on her. Like washing her face before bedtime, she has cleansed herself for this trans formative  period. On the outside she appears quiet and neutral almost barren, like a blank canvas. 

On the inside, OH on the inside,  there is a swirl of activity. She has planted her seeds, made her wishes, put her intentions out to the Universe, done her internal personal work, and soon the very delicate flower buds will begin to emerge.

She is Starting Over. This time is for Her, time to Heal, time to be Selfish, time to simply and beautifully Be.
She is rebuilding her self, piece by piece, taking all that she has learned and now putting all those pieces together that create her magnificent Spirit. She is seizing this new Season as her Own.


Those days of living for someone else and as someone else are over. It took a lot of hard work to get here, a lot of tears and a lot of joy, and now she patiently waits for the unveiling of her Truest Self.





The Goddess of Starting Over is #14 in my "30 Goddesses in 30 Days" watercolor series. She is available in listed in my Etsy shop here

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 ...

Mermaid and Patina Moon

Mermaid and Patina Moon In the past she would swim to the surface to sit along the water's edge and watch the humans. She used to find them quite magical. Most mermaids thought so. But over time she lost her intrigue. She began seeing their shadow sides, and how their fears evolved into hate. She couldn't stand to watch them being so mean to one another anymore and decided to remain in the safe and loving waters of the cove.  As the years passed she began to change. Merfolk don't age like humans, with wrinkles and such. Merfolk begin to patina when they age, a colorful sheen cloaks them, most especially their tail. As she began to patina, she became hidden in the waters even more. She blended into her surroundings with precision. This made the Moon ever so sad because he loved Fin the most.  It seemed that every night it would take longer and longer to find her. Finally one cold night in November he called to Fin and presented her with a gift wrapped in stars. I...

Using Art Nouveau Color Palettes on my Mandala Paintings

This weekend I created a new Mandala Painting with a Butterfly as its focal point, and wanted it to exude and earthy yet feminine allure. I decided the best way to achieve that was to use an Art Nouveau color palette. The one I chose had a combination of Antique White, Pale Yellow. Soft Salmon, Teal, Payne's Grey, and White along with a Honey Brown as a background. The finished piece came out exactly how I was hoping. Not only will it compliment almost any home decor, but it DOES bring an Earthy yet Feminine feel to it. You can see more of the painting on my website here  Garden of Bliss Original Butterfly Mandala Painting
