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 pro...

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.

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...

This new painting, "The Blessing of a Women's Circle", was created in a moment of my gratefulness. I always appreciate my chosen "sisters" in life, but this past week especially I have felt an overwhelming love for the energy they bring to my life. Each one was met at special points in my Journey and quickly that bond was formed. Their presence in my life is probably one of the greatest gifts ever to receive, knowing that you are surrounded by unconditional love and support.  We are living in challenging times. Our status as women and our rights are continually in a vulnerable state while we become fodder in political power and control battles. The media bombards us with underlying tones of never being enough, to strive for a sense of impossible perfection, and fosters a lowering of self esteem and competitiveness among us. As time goes on we are having to do and be more and more, with never ending lists and responsibilities. And through all the oppression a...
