I Absolutely love this process. I held a mini workshop a few nights ago in my studio and the results were amazing. What could be better then a group of happy, beautiful women, (few bottles of wine, etc.). We allowed our minds to explode and come to life along side our creativity . We had so much fun. We laughed …

They will point us to our freedom every time.” ― Byron Katie, Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life This is so true. I have seen this happen to so many people lately …
There are many ways to describe the relationship between Picasso and Matisse. It could be called a rivalry, a creative dialogue, often referred to as a chess game. Matisse himself once compared it to a boxing match. But it also became the abiding friendship of two creative geniuses as titans who, daring to paint the ugly, transformed our sense of …

The truth is that we are all good people and we are all loved. Its crazy to ask others for love and respect when we aren’t willing to give it to ourselves. I understand this, as this was me. Become the student of your own mind, and question every thought. If thoughts like this resonate with you, please …
“It’s such a beautiful world when you don’t know and just notice.” MaryAnn Burrows
I met myself without my story, inside of my beautiful mind. We made peace, my mind, and I. In here, I am clear. I am free. I am awake. I am only noticing. Simply flowing back and forth, with little effort, my brilliant imagination in perfect sync with the calm, silent melody of knowing. It is quiet, without war. …

Quiet friend who has come so far, feel how your breathing makes more space around you. Let this darkness be a bell tower and you the bell. As you ring, what batters you becomes your strength.
