Last night, Facebook conspired with my website to give a sneak peek of my upcoming workshop. Apparently this workshop just can’t wait to share itself with you. Since “the cat’s out of the bag” I figured I’d go ahead and officially announce “HAPPINESS IS…” the first workshop in the “Wishes & Dreams” series. In...
I LOVE getting feedback on my workshops. Whether it’s in an e-mail, a handwritten note, a comment left in a forum or my personal favorite a “Thank You” accompanied by a heart to heart hug, I am so grateful for all of the kind words I have received. For me these words are the...
Some days life just drops something REALLY REALLY COOL in your lap. That’s how I felt the day I received a request to review the book Raw Art Journaling: Making Meaning, Making Art by Quinn McDonald.

Lately I feel as if I’m either going completely insane or I’m finally coming to my senses. Mostly I feel the latter, although I am sure there are those who would disagree. Just listen, just trust, I keep reminding myself. Last night I worked on a metaphorical self portrait. It is part of the...

Journal page inspired by “Improvisation Station” at 21 Secrets. This morning I feel as though I am seeing myself more clearly. I am seeing past the labels I and others have given me. I am seeing deep into the core of my being. What I see there is Love. I have been here before,...
