My life is surrounded by unfinished paintings, beautiful strokes of line and color filled with some sense of Presence, of Self, and also of the self undone. I begin to feel the churning within my internal mid section (solar plexus) that unsatisfied part that wants to rant and rave. “Why keep on doing this my critic cries? You know there is never enough time to keep up with all of the projects, events, and writing.”

But my heart knows the joy of stepping up to the canvas or into the art journal for that well deserved moment of “no time” as my fingers glide across the canvas and the page. My Muse insists that this is the right medicine for the Soul. It soothes the spirit and opens the intuition to “Listen and Breath” along the pathway into the open door of “Presence.” This moving meditation leads me beyond and away from the third dimension of cares and worries.

Can Art really transport one from stress to joy? YES! Being in the energy of the New Moon and deep in my Studio winter mode is a quiet gift to myself. I consider it “Living my Dream.” The new year goals have been written and considered. The tea and chocolate are available, the paint brushes are cleaned, and the candle is lit. She calls to me, “There are strokes to be made, tending and nurturing of flowers and hearts, and the claiming of yourself wholly blessed.” I am tuning in to all the feelings flowing through me as I tend the lights and darks. Painting from the sacred place of connection.

What wants tending in your Heart?

 My intention is" I am fully supported by the Divine Feminine through this process of Intentional Creativity."

Is your Heart calling you to paint this year? Do you have a desire to break free from the critic's pattern of false beliefs that keep you from living your dream? I would be honored to help you on your path.
