They are called, “SELF-worth” and “SELF-esteem” for a reason… we can’t let others decide what we are worth, that is so dangerous! Empower yourself!
People can have the best of intentions when they tell their loved ones how they should be living their lives. But often times, when we are in struggle, we are seeking to be supported, not solved.
From the tattered edges of an exhausted mind, inspiration blooms… mental filters disintegrate and walls crumble, as the ocean of creativity washes over everything.
My world is about FEELings. Sometimes, these feelings run so deep i fear i will drown.Creatively, it’s a dream to be so sensitive. In real life, it’s exhausting, as i tread water to keep myself from sinking.
Imagination is our inner-child and creativity, its playground.
Art gives those unexpressed parts of ourselves permission to be felt and spoken.
Sanity is transmuting all the insane parts of your brain into a creative outlet.
My art is largely made up of my pain; re-framed, redesigned and re-purposed. It’s a mutually beneficial experience for both the creator and the beholder. Transformative healing is a beautiful process.
Art invites us to become explorers and excavators of our vast internal landscapes, discovering new terrain and digging deep into the past to unearth forgotten experiences and emotion.
My past takes no hostages, no prisoners. I’ve let go of yesterday and am free to receive the beautiful gift of the present.
I embrace my shadow self. Shadows give depth and dimension to my life. I believe in embracing my duality, in learning to let darkness and light, peacefully co-exist, as illumination.
Grace is darkness and light, peacefully co-existing, as illumination.
I am the brightest light beaming from the darkest depths. A dichotomy, i am . . . illumination.
Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves to release us from the shackles of our past. The pain of those who wounded us may linger but it needn’t overshadow our happiness.
I love dipping into dreams and sinuously sinking into sleep. It’s the freest place to be. The possibilities are limitless and my imagination becomes a weightless wonder.
Our hearts and imaginations need to dance and play if we are to live awake
Sometimes, the most healing thing we can do for another human being, is to listen to them, just … LISTEN.
We can bring into being, the things we dream. So much of what we are is, limited or expanded by, what we think.
Whomever you truly are… honor that person. No dream was ever realized by disappearing into the shadows of self-deceit and doubt.
When i move through my pain, it clears the path for a new dawn, a new day. It is in these moments, i feel the sun rising on the horizon of hope, in my soul.
Make your pain productive and you can transform tragedy into triumph.
Shake those stars from your hair, pretty Moonchild. It’s time to dance with the noonday sun!
Give and receive with gratitude. Do the former, without expectation of, the latter.
Love can be such a mysterious muse and seductress… spinning her magical web of stardust and emotional euphoria. True love sang her siren song and we wrapped that song around us like the sweetest melody.
You hung around the tattered edges of my soul, that’s where you preferred to be…
ANXIETY i will transform you into something useful and productive. I will not bow down to you. ~THE END
I thought calming thoughts and visualized serene places. Eventually, i found myself drifting along the frenetic edges of my mind. The Sandman was nowhere to be found, as i slipped further away from sleep.
When i spend too much time in my head, focused on things in the past or things in the future… when i lose sight of the present, i fold in on myself, mentally, my thoughts become toxic and distorted, my emotions, darken.
When we learn how to become resilient, we learn how to embrace the beautifully broad spectrum of the human experience.
Each of us is a unique thread, woven into the beautiful fabric, of our collective consciousness.
Harmony is about bringing things into balance and knowing how to go from sunrise to sunset. Mother Nature teaches this to us, in so many ways, each and every day.
