You can say my art has a childlike feeling because I paint from my inner child connection. All of my paintings bring a gift, a story and a lesson. I love sharing my journey with others so that we may form a connection. If my art speaks to you then I feel our souls have touched each other. I love connecting with others one heart to another.

<div style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Lavanderia; font-size: 48px; text-align: center;">
Walking Through The Fears</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Albemarle Swash'; min-height: 37px;">
<span style="font-family: Andalus; font-size: x-large; letter-spacing: 0px;">Wearing a special red cloak of inner strength and power, Little Red Riding Hood sets out on a journey to claim her independence. She knows that in order to achieve this she must conquer some of her greatest fears in the forest of her past. It is time for her to let go of her dependency on external relationships so that she can move forward in her life with confidence and courage.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Andalus; min-height: 19px;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Andalus;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">As Little Red Riding Hood steps into the dark woods, the snow begins to fall casting an eerie veil over everything. Although the darkness feels scary and lonely she remembers she is not really alone, for a white dove is perched on her shoulder, symbolizing the Divine Guidance that lives within.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Andalus; min-height: 19px;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Andalus;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">As she moves further into the forest she shudders from the cold and from the deafening silence of the darkness. Sleep creeps in as her awareness begins to slip away. In the veil of sleep, her fears rise up. Although she cannot see anything, she feels a shadowy figure lurking behind her. This shadow follows her everywhere she goes. She feels like a prisoner in her own heartbeat. Frozen with fear, she cannot even run away, for she realizes that there is no place to hide. Finally, she wakes up from the torment and calls out into the darkness, “what do you want from me?” All she hears is the pounding of her own heart. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Andalus; min-height: 19px;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Andalus;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Again she ask in a much louder and more confident voice, “what do you want?” In the stillness of the forest, she breathes in a deep breath and quiets her mind. Echoing from the deep recesses of darkness, she hears a loud barking sound. It gets louder and louder. She tries to cover her ears but nothing can block out the deafening sounds. As the shadow creeps closer and closer, she can barely stand in her own skin. She takes another deep breath and starts to shake. Her whole body begins to tremble.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Andalus; min-height: 19px;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Andalus;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Too weak to stand, she falls into the snow as an explosion of tears erupt from the deep recesses of her body. She cries and cries from the depths of her soul. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Andalus; min-height: 19px;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Andalus;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Exhausted by her tears, Little Red Riding Hood surrenders to a calm cleansing breeze which flows over her body. Listening intently, she hears a soft yet angry message which seems to rise out of the barking sounds but as she focuses more closely she realizes that the sounds are actually flowing out of her own heart. It is as if a small child is sobbing within. She ask again, “what do you want?” To her astonishment she hears, “you abandoned me in my time of need and you pushed me away. You looked for your power outside of yourself. How can I trust you to be there for me? How can I share my gifts with you when you will not listen to me? You worry about the entire world but you do not think of me. Don’t you know that I am what you seek, for everything in your world comes from within and is reflected out?”</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Andalus; min-height: 19px;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Andalus;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Little Red Riding Hood begins to rock herself back and forth. Tears streaming down her face, she realizes that she has abandoned herself. She abandoned the little innocent child within. Through her tears she begs for forgiveness and vows to try harder to stay connected to her inner child. She is amazed to learn that the love she has been seeking externally, has been right inside herself all along.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Andalus; min-height: 19px;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Andalus;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Thoroughly exhausted but confident and empowered, Little Red Riding Hood emerges out of the forest. As she stands in the clearing with the sun shining through, she feels a presence behind her. No longer fearful, she realizes the shadow is just a messenger delivering what she has long wanted to remember.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Andalus; min-height: 19px;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Andalus;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">As the snow begins to stop, Little Red Riding Hood breathes a sigh of relief, she now knows that she does not need to <i><b>seek</b></i> her independence, for it has been with her all along. She merely needs to own it. She is aware that there will be times where she will fall back asleep, however since she found her way through the forest of darkness once, she is confident that she will be able to wake up again. Together with the child who lives in her heart, she will continue to move forward on her journey of life, creating new adventures and dreams one step at a time. </span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Vortexes of Sedona</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Sedona is known world-wide to be a spiritual mecca due to the majestic grounding red rock and energy vortexes. The healing qualities of these invisible energies touch the heart, mind and soul. Many alternative healers are drawn to Sedona’s spectrum of spiritual and healing gifts.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">There are different types of energy vortexes in Sedona. These vortexes are swirling centers of subtle energy that flow from the surface of the earth. Although the energy is not exactly electricity or magnetism they seem to offer these same qualities to many sensitive people. Some are upflow vortexes and they are called electric or masculine sites. These vortexes are said to help you soar upwards in prayer and meditation to face problems from a soul level. Airport Vortex is a powerful model of the masculine side. It is a potent vortex that is said to increase your concentration, decision making skills and to increase your ability to problem solve. Inflow Vortexes are called magnetic or feminine. These energy upflows help you go within to your inner world. They are known to help you find your life purposes and how to heal hurts in your past. Cathedral Rock is an example of the feminine vortex which is said to strengthen your feminine and spiritual inward side.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Boynton Canyon and Bell Rock Vortexes are said to strengthen the balance of the masculine and feminine energies. The yin/yang balance is what we are all ultimately striving for. No matter how evolve we are we are learning that the way we treat others is also the way we treat ourselves. If the masculine side is stronger than the feminine then we will be too strong and we could do harm to others because we can be too pushy as well as take advantage of others. On the other hand if we are too feminine we will let others push us around and allow them to take advantage of us. Our emotions are a good indicator for where we are in each moment. If we are feeling angry and less fearful then our masculine is stronger. If we are feeling more like a victim or fearful then our feminine side is too strong. Having good intimate relationships is determined by the balance of our feminine and masculine sides.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The more sensitive you are the more you will feel the energy of these vortexes. You can actually see the twisting of trees in the strongest energy vortex sites.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; text-align: left;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">My painting of the Sedona vortexes was created out of a spiritual trip I took with a my spiritual friend. Our friendship is more like a spiritual partnership where our journey has been taking us on a quest within. After years of wanting to go to Sedona together we finally got to the opportunity to go on 10-10-10. It was a powerful time on our journey so I wanted to capture the essence of the experience.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The painting depicts the balance of the masculine and feminine energy. The sunny blue skies with a dabble of clouds here and there, represen the opening of the throat chakra. The scattering of clouds with the sun shining through represents the subs-conscious opening up to reveal emotional blockages. The masculine vortexes are shining bright which represents the areas of the masculine side that need to surface and expand. The feminine side is representing by the swirling vortex energy on the right side. Inside the feminine vortex you will see a crow. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Crows are known by many cultures to be the communication spirit totems and guides. Since crows are known to build they nest in very tall trees they represent seeing life from a higher perspective. They are said to help you develop your power of sight, intuition and spiritual transformation. You might notice that crows will chase much larger birds out of their territory. This makes them a good symbol to call on when you need more personal will power and ability to speak your truth. Crows are also very social and they band together so they are a good symbol for cooperation and working for the greater good of the community. Since they are black in color they represent the void and spiritual side. They are a good symbol for the messengers of the spirit world and they are known to dwell beyond the realm of time and space so they live in the past, present and future simultaneously. They merge the light and dark...the inner and the outer world to form balance. They are also known to aid in the courage to enter the subconscious and inward spiritual realms. They encourage you to “walk your talk” and to let go of patterns that no longer serve you. Crows are also known to represent magic. Since these animals are common all around the globe they are a good reminder that magic is everywhere.</span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">What I Learned</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Lavanderia; font-size: 48px;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; letter-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;">I love learning from my nighttime dreams. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;">I reflect on what the dream is trying to </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;">reveal to me about my life or</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;">how I have gotten off track.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Batang;">I really appreciate those precious moments</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Batang;">when I have lucid dreams because I </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Batang;">become the dreamer of my dreams </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Batang;">instead of the dreamed.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Batang;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">My lucid dreams usually begin when I realize that something in </span><span style="font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">the dream doesn't quite make sense or when </span><span style="font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">I know what is going to happen next.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">It kind of reminds me of one of my favorite movies</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">called <u style="font-style: italic;">Groundhog's Day </u> where the character</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">keep having the same dream happen over</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">and over until he wakes up and realizes</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">that he is co-creating his life.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Batang; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;">When I wake up from one of these dreams,</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;"> for one brief </span></span><span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;">moment,</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;"> I remember that this life is </span><span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;">merely a dream</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;"> within a dream.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> </span><span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;">I remember that life is never really as serious</span></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; font-size: medium;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">or as scary as it sometimes</span></span><span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;"> seems.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; font-size: medium;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Batang;">But the illusion of life is so strong that</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Batang;">it isn't long before I fall back asleep</span></span><br />
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;">and become apart of the dream again.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium; min-height: 15px;">
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Batang;">So during these times I try to remember </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Batang;">the little childhood song we all know so well.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; font-size: medium;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;">Row, row, row your boat....</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; font-size: medium;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;">gently down the stream.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; font-size: medium;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;">Merrily, merrily, merrily life is but a dream.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; font-size: medium; min-height: 15px;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; font-size: medium;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;"> Not saying that some dreams don't feel like nightmares</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; font-size: medium;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;">but that is when we have forgotten</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;"> that we are the dreamer, </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;">we have allowed ourselves to become</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;"> "the dreamed".</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; font-size: medium; min-height: 15px;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium;">
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;">Before we can become the dreamer of our own life</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;">we have to wake up from the illusion of this world</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;">where duality keeps us seeking externally</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">what has always been right inside each one of us</span></span><span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;">.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Batang;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Sometimes this is not so </span>easy<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> to do.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Batang;">We have to face our fears, </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Batang;">those nagging voices in our minds.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Batang;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times;">
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;">But each time we wake up </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;">we get stronger and stronger.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;">Through this strength we stay awake</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;">just a little bit longer than the time before.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;"></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;">Here's to becoming the</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;">Dreamer of your life.</span></div>

What I Learned</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>When I started this painting I was trying to come to </i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>terms with some very difficult cross roads in my life.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">These detours have preoccupied my attention </span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">for the last couple of years.</span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>Some days are better than others.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>There are days that I have a deep unflinching faith </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>while others seem to test the very core of my beliefs.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>When I fall into a hopeless sense of feeling lost</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i> I briefly lose all my sense of joy and</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i> I just cannot </i></span><i style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: x-large;">seem to find the light.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: x-large;">These are the difficult days to love life.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: x-large;"><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>But when I finally let go and surrender the struggle </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: x-large;">I am pulled deeper within </i><i style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: x-large;">to the silence of my soul.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: x-large;">In these very intimate and powerful times, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">I begin to wake up again and remember that everything</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"> is really just calling me </span></i><i><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">to return to love.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">I am reminded that even these shadows of my life</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"> have meaning and purpose.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">For without the shadows how can I experience </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">the fullness of the light.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: x-large;"> I believe these shadows are merely</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: x-large;"> "separated and suppressed </i><i style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: x-large;">parts of myself"</i><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>that I pushed away until I became strong enough to </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>walk through them.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: x-large;">When the time comes these shadows rise up </i><br />
<i style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: x-large;">out of my body </i><i style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: x-large;">to be heard and </i><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>felt.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>They may show up in the duality of this life</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>in the form of drama, karma, pain, accidents or</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>health issues.</i></span><br />
<i style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: x-large;">But when I am ready to hear their message</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>and allow them to return to the Whole Self…</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>the healing begins and I expand to</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i> more awareness of who I am.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>However I know that even in these</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i> moments </i></span><i style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: x-large;">of awareness,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>I will </i></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>slip again into the illusion of life</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i> and forget who I really am.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>But I will say, </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>my journey is teaching me to be</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i> more gentle and forgiving of myself and others.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>~</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>Because no matter what we each believe ...</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>we are all on this journey together</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>and we are all doing the best we can</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>in every moment of our lives</i></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>Of course, this doesn't mean that we allow people</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>to break our boundaries or cause us harm nor </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>does it mean we can become lazy with how we</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>treat others…</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><i>because I believe that at our core</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Crystal started coming to me when I was very frustrated</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">about situations in my life.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">I was second guessing things. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">While I had been experiencing what felt like doors opening</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">all of a sudden they started closing.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">So I had to sit down serious talk</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">with God, the Universe, my angels and my higher selves</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">or whatever word you use for the Divine Love of</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;"> “I AM”.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; min-height: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">I felt stuck but all I really wanted to know was why</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">I was feeling so disconnected.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Had a made a wrong turn...was I not seeing the signs?</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">That night I had a very foretelling dream </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">which lead me to have a deep conversation </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">within myself.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;"> So the next day my dear spiritual friend</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">and I had a chat about what I had been experiencing</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">and through all of this I realized that I was </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">not being my true self in every area of my life.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">There was still one place where I hid little parts</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;"> of myself.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even though I had pulled back many, many layers</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;"> in order to </span></span><span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;">be myself there was still one area</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;"> that I resisted.</span><span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was time to take another step so </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">that I could open the door to a deeper part of myself.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; min-height: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">This very important step is leading me to let my light</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">shine a little more brightly. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Through this journey I am finding</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">a deeper sense of my creative voice and</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am also finding my dreams.</span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">What I Learned</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">This painting came to me as I was moving </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">through so major life changes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">I think the energy was teaching me to let</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;"> go and trust that all that I need</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">will flow to me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">I don't have to seek it, strive for it or fight for it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">Just as the ocean ebbs and flows </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">so do the moments and experiences</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;"> of my life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">Sometimes things flow in and out</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">gently and effortlessly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">But sometimes I feel </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">like I am drowning or</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;"> being pulled out to sea.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">During these times it is important </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><span style="font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">for me to remember not to struggle against </span><span style="font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">the current. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">It will only wear me out </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">or pull me under.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><span style="font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">It is often best to just stay afloat and conserve </span><span style="font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">my energy until I move out of the current.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">This is a lesson that I often struggle</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">with and so I often have to repeat </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">it over and over again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">However each time this lesson cycles</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">around I am able to wake up quicker</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">and I struggle less.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">I think the ocean is a good reminder</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">of how life ebbs and flows</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">whether I work with it or against it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><span style="font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;"> I am learning that </span><span style="font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">the '<i>ocean of life'</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><span style="font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;"><i></i>is much bigger </span><span style="font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">than </span><span style="font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">I am, </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><span style="font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">so it makes sense to surrender to its flow and </span><span style="font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">enjoy the journey.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">The Ocean of Life is filled with many </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;">The only difference between 'All One'</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;"> and Alone </span><span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;">is the 'L', which stands for love.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;">Love is what connects us to</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;"> All That Is.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So the "L" is in the middle</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> transforming 'alone' to 'All One'.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I will also note that the letter 'L'</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> pronounced </span><span style="font-size: large;">"el" in Hebrew, stands for angel,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> meaning, "In God".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">An interesting thing my friend pointed out is</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Archangels' name end in 'el'.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Archangel Michael, Archangel Uriel,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Archangel Gabriel, and Archangel Raphael.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">~Love </span><span style="font-size: large;">and </span><span style="font-size: large;">Light.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">When you love yourself</span>…</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">you are also loving others.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Love reminds us that</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> we are never 'alone'. </span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">on the breath of unconditional love and grace.”</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Adorable; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Lavanderia; font-size: 72px;">"The Meaning "</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The name Skylar is a Dutch name meaning sheltering.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Michael is Hebrew which means "who is like God".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As you can easily see the angel is guarding </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">the sweet little boy and girl.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Guardian angel is not only guiding the children</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">but she is also teaching</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">them how to become Earth Angels.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Even though they are unaware that a storm </span><i>(representing fear) </i><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">is brewing around them,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">their guardian angel is keeping </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">a vigilant watch over them and encouraging with love </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">to</span><span style="font-size: large;"> walk through the storm of life</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> knowing they are never alone.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This knowing allows them to spread unconditional love.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For they know that they are each a part of the whole.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When you know you are love</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">you spread unconditional love.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When you spread unconditional love</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> you are a</span><span style="font-size: large;">n</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Earth Angel.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">~</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I believe when I live in fear I am not surrendering</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">to the Divine flow. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My lack of trust prevents me from having faith.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My lack of faith prevents me from feeling, receiving</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and giving love, yet love is my true essence.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So when I am blocking my true essence</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I do not feel my connection to everything around me.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When I forget who I really am</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I feel alone… </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">(a lost of the "One).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But aren't we all </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> the ONE in the ALL</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">All in the ONE?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>"You may say I am a dreamer</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>but I am not the only one.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I hope some day you will join us </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>and the world will live as ONE."</i></span><br />

<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Lavanderia; font-size: 72px;">“What I Learned"</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This painting is very dear to me and the story behind the painting is a very intimate one but </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will try to share it as best as I can.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Although it is not easy for me to shorten stories,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I will do my best. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A few years ago, I decided to paint an Earth Angel</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> from the Netherlands </span><span style="font-size: large;">to add to my series Earth Angels from Cultures Around the World.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But each time I tried to paint her something</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> kept me from moving forward.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You see my paintings always have lessons to teach me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So they have their own "time".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was inspired by my internet friend, Iain, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">whom I met through my art.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Iain lives in the Netherlands and his heart</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> is filled with love, compassion and light.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have been fortunate to experience it many times</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> through our back and forth emails.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I must say, I was thrilled when Iain sent me several pictures</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> of places in the Netherlands </span><span style="font-size: large;">to ignite my creativity spark.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Although I have never met Iain in person,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> it feels as if I have known him for years. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">His tender heart reminds me of my relationship</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> with my brother when we were growing up,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> which leads me in the next part of my story.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I began this painting about a year ago I noticed that </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the little boy and girl who appeared on my canvas,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> reminded me of my brother and myself when we were young.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This triggered some deeper introspection within. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I stopped my painting and built my cocoon so the transformation process could begin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For a little over a year, I began turning and twirling</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> around and around</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> like a windmill, on the winds of change.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Each cycle took me deeper into my family</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> and ancestral healing patterns dealing with</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">a lack of trust and feelings of being lost...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">away from home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes when we have not finished making peace</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> with our past, </span><span style="font-size: large;">the shadows or shattered parts arise within our bodies and pull us deeper within to heal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My higher self</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>(the part that knows she is connected to All That Is)</i>,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> reminded me that I could revisit these </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">childhood wounds with my </span><span style="font-size: large;">adult self.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Now that I am older and stronger,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I can see these events from </span><span style="font-size: large;">a higher perspective. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As I stepped into these shadows or parts of myself </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">that I had separated from,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">with my </span><span style="font-size: large;">higher perspective they began to melted into the</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> stuck emotions </span><span style="font-size: large;">that were suppressed in my body.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Without becoming fixated or dwelling on these suppressed</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> emotions </span><span style="font-size: large;">but at the same time allowing myself</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> to fee</span><span style="font-size: large;">l the anger, grief, and fear I was able</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> to move through with courage.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This process often arises out of my </span><span style="font-size: large;">unconscious,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> at night when </span><span style="font-size: large;">my subconscious is more open.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the stillness of the night, I am able to rock my inner child</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and breathe through the emotions</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">while reminding her </span><span style="font-size: large;">that everything is okay.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My mantra is "I Am Here".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I could feel the presence of the "I AM"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> which is within us all.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A peace settles in and washes over me.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Each time my heart turns toward this compassionate light</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> much </span><span style="font-size: large;">like a pink tulip in the field…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">soaking up the sun.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Of course there are often many layers to past events.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I believe we follow the path</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">of light and love</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">which is guiding us all home.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">While we are waling this path on Earth</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">we are training to bring that unconditional love</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">to Earth.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We are being guided to remember that </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">we truly are </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Earth Angels.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With love I re-member I am with </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">All One</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The "I AM."</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: x-large;">are more obvious yet others were </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: x-large;">already present so they are more subtle.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: x-large;">The hearts symbolize</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: x-large;">the boys loving nature flowing outward</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: x-large;">into Oneness.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: x-large;">During this process, I was able to </span><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: x-large;">dive</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: x-large;"> more deeply into into my emotions and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: x-large;">release outgrown patterns in my heart.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: x-large;">These experiences</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: x-large;">reminded me once again </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: x-large;">that what is good for </span><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: x-large;">one</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: x-large;"> is good for all, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: x-large;">because we can't truly be </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: x-large;">happy... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: x-large;">when the other person </span><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: x-large;">is not.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: x-large;">I believe we are all beginning to open</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: x-large;">up to this more deeply </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: x-large;">We cannot exist without each other.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: x-large;">Knowing this on a soul level</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: x-large;">frees us and allows us to begin</span></div>

<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This painting was created out of the respect for all the devoted mothers.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It truly is the greatest job the world</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">has to offer. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The first relationship </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">in a child's life</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> is with the mother. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">From the child's</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> first heartbeat </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">to the first breathe of air</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">a sense of </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">trust is born.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">And it is this special bond </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> that affects the child</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">throughout her/his life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I think if we do our job well we</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">will be able to learn so much </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">from our children for t</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">hey bring gifts</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">that hold some of the most </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">valued treasures of our life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I have to say that I am so proud and honored </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">to be the mother of </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">two beautiful and very talented</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">daughters. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am continuing to learn from them.</span><br />

<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Lavanderia; font-size: 72px;">What I Learned</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>When we live in the world of dualism </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>we see things as this or that…up or down, etc</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>because we see through two eyes. </i></span><br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-large;">This creates polarity of good or bad,</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-large;">male or female.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-large;">We forget that we need </span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>both the yin and the yang to live in balance</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>within ourselves.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>In fact, one cannot exist without the other.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>Of course when we are out of balance</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>one pole may be more valued</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i> or seen as better than the other.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>But with this belief comes a price</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>and we cannot live this way forever.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>Our internal and external world </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>begins to suffer the affects</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>of living out of balance.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><br /></i>
<i>Both the masculine and feminine energies</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i> are now emerging into Oneness.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>There is no need to have a battle</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i> between the sexes…</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>for we are not only on the same team</i></span><br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-large;">we are each other's reflection.</span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><br /></i></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>As we begin to see our world</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>through our third eye,</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>our spiritual eye </i><i>of Oneness, </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>w</i><i>e remember that everything</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i> is within </i><i>each one of us. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><br /></i>
<i>We are not separate.</i></span><br />

<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Lavanderia;">”What I Learned"</span></div>
<div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; font-size: medium;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; font-size: medium;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large; letter-spacing: 0px;">This was one of the first paintings </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; font-size: medium;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large; letter-spacing: 0px;">that I ever painted which was about 5 years ago.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; font-size: medium;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large; letter-spacing: 0px;">When I painted the horse</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; font-size: medium;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large; letter-spacing: 0px;">the painting took on mind of its own.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">I noticed that a female had appeared on the canvas.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">When I started painting her in,</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;"> her </span><span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">eyes appeared wild.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">I tried to tone them down</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">but nothing seemed to work.</span></div>
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">The energy was so intense so I decided to let her be</span><span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">…</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">the way she wanted to be.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Batang;">Right at that moment,</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Batang;"> I realized that she reminded me of the song Rhiannon by </span></span><br />
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">Stevie Nicks of </span><span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">Fleetwood Mac.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large; letter-spacing: 0px;">At the time I did not do any research</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large; letter-spacing: 0px;"> on </span><span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large; letter-spacing: 0px;">the song.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large; letter-spacing: 0px;"> I never really knew the story </span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; font-size: medium;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #76a5af;">behind the song until recently.</span></span></span><br />
<br />

<div style="font-family: Batang; font-size: medium;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #76a5af;">A dear high school friend of mine</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Batang; font-size: medium;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #76a5af;">was having a birthday and</span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-family: Batang;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">her children</span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Batang;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">asked to purchase</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-family: Batang;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">a print of my art.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-family: Batang;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I immediately thought of Rhiannon </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-family: Batang;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">because she loves horses and she</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-family: Batang;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">loves Fleetwood Mac.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">(</span><span style="font-family: Batang;">Her children took her to see</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-family: Batang;">them recently</span><span style="font-family: Batang;"> and I have to admit I was a bit jealous.</span><span style="font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">)</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">This lead me to sit down to write the story </span><span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">behind the painting. </span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">When I researched the song I found</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">out that it is about a Welsh Goddess</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">who is associated with white horses.</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">She is said to be related to the </span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">Irish Horse Goddess Epona.</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/91036985/epona-irish-goddess-of-horses-an?ref=shop_home_active_6" target="_blank">(Click here to see my print of Epona.)</a></span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">Wow…I was so surprised.</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">I noticed that the painting looked just like the description </span><span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">of Rhiannon. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">I got chills to say the least.</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;"> I will say that each of my paintings </span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">teach me things</span><span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;"> about myself or lessons</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">I need to learn. </span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">They are all like a personal journey with my spirit.</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">When I painted Rhiannon I was</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">getting in touch with my </span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">inner feminine power and strength.</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">Now I am returning much stronger</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">but still expanding out of my shell...</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">so that I can share more of myself and my love with </span><span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">the world around me.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">I hope you have some great stories</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;"> to </span><span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">share. </span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">The world loves a </span><span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">good story.</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">There is so much beauty all around </span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">and wonderful stories waiting to be told.</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">Dreams unwind…</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">Love is a state of mind.</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Batang; font-size: x-large;">(Update…I just posted this last night</span><br />

<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">I think beauty is a state of mind.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">We can all project it when </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">we are feeling beautiful.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">As we grow older,</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">we learned to go within to find</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;"> our glamour,</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">the eternal </span><span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">beauty within.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">I think part of our glamour and beauty</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">lies within the mysterious nature of</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">being a woman.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">Just like a lake shines in the</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;"> sun and moon light</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">with all of its glistening beauty….</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">it also hides the mystery of many things </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">within its depths.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">You can never quite figure out what a woman</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">is thinking</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">because we are always changing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">As the saying goes….</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">we reserved our right to change our minds.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">We aren't really fickle,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">we just keep expanding and opening up to better </span><span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">ways to see and do things.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">So don't try to figure us out</span><span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">just love us</span><span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">and we will return all the love you need.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; letter-spacing: 0px;">What I Learned</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;">I am usually a very causal dresser </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">

<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;">So I decided to create a series </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;">of formal styles that I would like </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;">to wear if I had a really fancy place to go.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;">I also like to dress for how I feel or sometimes for how I want to feel.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">I came to know through pictures her mom sent to me.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">I instantly saw her with a squirrel and knew that </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">she was reaching out to teach me the balance</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">of giving and receiving. </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">Notice her wings are in the shape of a heart </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">and her hands are open for the love she is </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">giving and receiving.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">You cannot have one without the other.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">Both are acts of love. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">We feel love when we receive but we also feel </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">that same love when we give.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">I think children and animals teach us this very well.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">When we return to the stillness where our</span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;"> we expand our hearts and remember our Oneness,</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">where the ebb and flow of giving and receiving endlessly flows.</span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">Both the giver and the receiver feel this same </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Lavanderia; font-size: 48px;">What I Learned</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;"> I met Lily Isabella through pictures.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">Her sweet mom was one of my customers and</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">she entered Lily Isabella's picture in my </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">Kid's Photograph Modeling Contest.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">I just fell in love with her.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">The sweet energy I felt came flowing out of her pictures.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">I knew instantly that I wanted to paint a squirrel</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">with her. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">Although Lily Isabella loves all </span><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">animals,</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;"> I later found out that squirrels are among</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">her favorite. She calls them kitties. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">As I arranged the sketch for my painting</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">the energy of Lily Isabella came flowing in.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">I recognized the energy through some lessons</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">I was learning in my life on a deeper level.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">I have always enjoyed giving more than receiving.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">But as I allowed the lesson to flow in more fully</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">I quickly realized that both come from</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;"> the same </span><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">source.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;"> In fact, we cannot have one without the other.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">Although it is true many of us enjoy giving more than</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">receiving, </span><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">if we do not allow ourselves to receive we are cutting </span><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">off the Divine Process. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">We are preventing </span><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">someone else's joy of giving.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">Also when we do not allow ourselves to receive </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">we are cutting off our own hearts. </span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">We are stopping the flow, making it harder</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">to give from a deep open heart connection.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">When we give from our hearts we give</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">without strings attached. </span></div>
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: large;">Then the giving is also receiving</span><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: large;">…</span><br />
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">for we feel the ebb and flow of love</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">between each heart.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: large;">I remember an old childhood </span><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: large;">rhyme…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: large;">"To receive a gift is truly a pleasure </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: large;">But isn't the giver receiving the treasure."</span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: large;">I actually think both are receiving the same treasure.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: large;">For it isn't the gift that is cherished and treasured</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: large;">it is the love that is shared between the hearts.</span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: large;"><i>So when we give …</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: large;"><i>we are really giving to ourselves.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: large;"><i>For we truly are All One.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande;">I was able to go deeply into my inner child.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande;">She taught me many things. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande;">Some of them I forgot…maybe I was not ready </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande;">and they continue to teach me </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: Lavanderia;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-size: 72px;">What I learned</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Lavanderia;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"> As the energy of this painting flowed onto </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">my canvas…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">it brought many things for me to grasp and to let go.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">One of the things I got from this experience</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">is that the unseen world holds infinite</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">possibilities. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">Our past experiences and our future possibilities are all …</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">a part of who we are Now.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">For the past is really only our perceptions of events.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">We remember things differently at different times </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">in our life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">So the past is really as pliable as the future. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">It is not fixed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"> As we change our perceptions</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">of the past …it changes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"> and then so does our present choices </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">and our future possibilities.</span><br />

<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Lavanderia; font-size: 64px;">What I Learned</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: #c27ba0;">Fayanna was such a joy to paint.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">She reminded me of my time in Paris with my family.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">To me Paris was exactly the way I envisioned it.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">My journey to Paris began as a dream vision.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">My husband and I were going to be celebrating</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">our 30th anniversary.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">We wanted to travel to Europe.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">When my girls found out they asked if they </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">could join us. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">Well actually they said,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande;">"hey, don't think you are going to Europe without us!"</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande;">I knew it was going to take an enormous amount</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande;">of faith and trust to allow this trip to </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande;">be born.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande;">Not just because of the expense of the trip</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande;"> but also because of </span></span><span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: large;">my own inner doubt</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: large;"> when asking for any of my</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande;">dreams to be born into the light of day.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande;"> I will say it took a lot of meditating </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande;">and letting </span></span><span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: large;">go</span><br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: large;"> to allow this dream</span></div>

<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: large;">to spread its wings and fly.</span></div>

<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">While painting Brianna, I </span><span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">was guided</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;"> to find my own inner strength and courage.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">I have spent so much of my life giving my power</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;"> away to others or running from my fears.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">I tried to make everyone around me happy and </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">it was often at the expense of losing myself.</span><br />
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">I wanted to control my environment</span><br />
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">so I could feel at ease.</span><br />
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">It took a very long time to realize </span><br />
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">that I was not controlling anything.</span><br />
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">I was casting a web of an inauthentic life.</span><br />
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">I was not being myself. </span><br />
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">I allowed my fear to control me which</span><br />
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">left me weak and scared.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">During my inner journey, I was guided</span><span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;"> to go deeper within to learn more about myself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">I was also lead to feel my fear and allow it to flow through me.</span><br />
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">By having the courage to do this I am able to</span><br />
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">take my power back</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">that I gave to others and I am able to give back the </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">power others have given to me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">This enables me to </span><span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">reconnect </span><br />
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">with parts of myself I lost along the way.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">It also allows me to find my creative voice and</span><br />
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;"> my own talents,</span><br />
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;"> so that I may share these gifts </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">Through this daily process I am learning</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">that the greatest thing I can do for others</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">is to allow everyone to experience their </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">own path without me trying to control or force </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">things to be a certain way.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">I am also learning that when I focus on my own journey</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">I am able to see that we are all walking our own paths. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">We can be compassionate with each other and we can offer assistance when others</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #06a4d5; font-family: Batang; font-size: large;">We don't need to "fix" others.</span></div>
