🌻🌻🌻🌻to evolution and growth🙂. Though your professional work is phenomenal and precise in capturing stillness and beauty (all acknowledgments well deserved), there are your everyday musings,(which I always thought of as your true work) the paintings of the landscape you walk , paint swatches, spiritual abstracts, mark making, and notebooks of words and more words (of which I know must fill a basement at this point:) etc. Looking upon it as a whole made from transparent layers, feels like looking at someone who has lived many lives. It is the work of a deep life- an intimate and authentic self portrait. In all of these expressions there is the inner and outer search and an intriguing conversation that never stops. We are lucky to get a glimpse here and there. I look forward to seeing where these new insights take you. Much love. ❤️

I am currently in a stage of reflection. I started saving some of my notebooks and now see them as long letters to the collective ( : )). These books are quiet, but speak to both the seen and underneath. They are my personal “work of art.” Since I do not have children, it is the only part of myself I can leave behind.

I feel this way about my Substack. I want to create and not be concerned with the outcome. To offer something to my readers in exchange for paid subscriptions will be welcomed, but the main reason I am writing is to get this creativity out of me and onto the page.

Wonderful revelations ❤️

I have found peace and the ability to lose myself completely when I am painting or doing Zentangle. I was sitting at my desk, a loaf of bread baking in the oven, and if my husband had not come in to remind me about my bread, it would have burned to a crisp. Reading your musings and watching your classes has enriched my life more than you will ever know. Seeing how you show up for us no matter how you are feeling is inspiration in itself.

Love, love, love, everything about this musing. The Devil, Wheel of Fortune, and Before! What you feel in each of these. Your tangles speak artistic love and new beginnings. Always look forward to your creative gifts to the world.
