I May Bend, but I Will Not Break

I have recently been drawn to create a body of work that focuses on Strength. With the changes that have been happening in our communities and our political sphere, there has been a significant rise in bullying, intolerance, hate, and fear.

This energy, which once felt like an acute event, now feels like a chronic current continually and quietly flowing underneath everything. Its presence has left me often feeling consumed with anxiety, along with those around me. And so, I decided to try and work through those feelings with my Art and create this body of work. I will be creating it, in one medium or another, every day. It is

"30 Warrior Women in 30 Days". Each piece will have a "writing" attached to it, portraying the feelings or thought process associated.

Day One: "I May Bend, but I will not Break"

"I may Bend, but I will not Break.

Those winds of change, unexpected forces that push me up against the side of the mountain, they may cause me to pause....but only for a moment.

I am resilient.

I will keep Climbing.

I am a Warrior Woman.

Those predictable tricksters, the ones who put obstacles in the path, they may slow my trek to the finish line...but they will not prevent it.

I will stay alert.

I will readjust my path.

I will keep Walking.

I am a Warrior Woman.

Those crazy makers and drama dwellers, the ones who drain the energy of others and speak in half-truths, they may hurt me...but they will not cause me to close my heart to others.

I will practice Self Care.

I will stay aware.

I will keep Loving.

I am a Warrior Woman.

I may pause but I will continue to climb.

I may readjust the path but I will continue to walk.

I may protect my heart but I will continue to love.

I may bend but I will not break,

I am resilient.

I am strong.

I am fragile.

I am a believer.

I am a Warrior Woman."

Romancing the Butterfly and its Symbolic Meaning

The Butterfly has such a beautiful significance in life, a delicate and ornate creature who just by their floating into our presence can instantly light smiles on the faces who see her. They are symbolic for the Perception of the Evolving Soul. The way in which they flutter through the air and land on one flower... to the next flower, looks as if they are doing a dance of happiness. Almost as if they are giving out kisses to each one. Even in difficult or harsh circumstances they still float in the same manner, insistent on living in the moment and living in joy. The Butterfly represents how you choose to perceive your growth, whether you perceive the transformations as a difficult period or whether you perceive them as a grand adventure appreciative of each moment. Transformation, change, and growth are inevitable, but how we choose to walk through them affects how easy or difficult they can be. The Butterfly is a special totem to look to when you are going through a t...

New Year Quest to Organize and Simplify

I'm spending the remainder of the year trying to make life easier, simplify, organize, with the eternal quest to find more time in my day. So many hours are spent now on social media that I strive to find the balance between creating and connecting. The past few months my blogs have suffered from this, my writing being sporadic. I'm committing to get back to my consistency with the blogging, as it has always been one of my first loves....and especially the time reading my favorite blogs. I found Bloglovin where I can keep track of my favorite reads nicely, in one simple clean format. I hope this helps on my quest. Back to organizing :) Peace and Love http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/13296731/?claim=mn4sk8qx4fb
