Metamorphosis of a Woman - Original Contemporary Folk Art

It was time for Change, time for an utterly complete transformation. When she found herself walking through her days feeling like a foreigner in a strange distant land, she knew that somehow her life had been derailed into something that was unrecognizable....something that was not hers. Somewhere along the way she had relinquished her power to the manipulations of those who never had her highest good in mind.

Feeling broken she retreated quietly into the deepest past of her self, seeking respite and answers. She had lost everything and in retrospect realized that it was necessary, for this transformation required her to be in a most raw and authentic state.

It was time to recreate her life into the magical journey it was meant to be. This time she will live it as the empowered woman warrior that she is, wiser for the battles she has already fought, and with a sage's grace that comes with the passing of seasons.

She spent considerable time wrapped up in her protective cocoon, ignoring the criticisms and judgments she could hear from the outside. They didn't know what kind of work was being done inside, nor did she feel the need to explain.

Finally a whisper suggested that she was ready to emerge. Slowly she began to shed those protective layers to reveal her transformed Self, confident and strong. Filled with a wisdom from past experiences, she knows this time she is living for Her...this time she will write her own story.

She opens her vibrant wings and perches on the center of a flower, ready for flight. She pauses for one second and asks herself... "Am I truly ready?"

YES
unequivocally YES.

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...
