In with the new...and out with the old....a skin is shed....But the only way it can be shed is to truly let go...& move forward...and the only way you can move forward is to forgive...
As I watched this inspring video sent to me by my dear friend Rak (founder of the Humanity Healing Network); Entitled Forgiveness & the Freedom of Letting Go, I felt compelled to write this blog post...
I've learned that forgiveness takes strength, & to forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love....it brings with it a great peace, happiness & contentment...
May you go forth in the new year & know that you too can begin again & again... Happy Auspicious New Year everyone....may your year be filled with love & wonder!
I wanted to share with you one of the newest paintings I've created inspired by my love for the sea, seaweed, the ocean, love, and seashells. I went down to the ocean last weekend and drew this whimsical image...I than colorized it in the computer and added texture with special paper. Once finished, it reminded me of a quote I had always known & loved; "May your joys be as deep as the ocean, your sorrows as light as its foam". To the right of it are pictures I took of the sea and my environment that day....you could look at them as inspiration...The is one of many paintings I am creating for a larger frame I am giving to my sister to remind her of home while she is in Germany...I will be sharing the rest of them with you in additional blog posts...
It has been a while since I posted last...over the next couple of days I will be posting on my blog some of the arts & crafts I've been up to over the past couple of months. This painting, which consisted of ink & watercolor on paper was created for my sister....one of the strongest women I know. Strength & perseverance must run in the family, for when I created this gift for my sister, I knew I wanted to show her that although it felt like the storm would never end....that her roots are only growing deeper as she becomes more grounded...until the storm passes....
Light is shining down onto the tree....and underneath the ground you can see the roots are much larger than the actual tree itself....Inside the roots of the tree are a sun symbol, to represent warmth, a flower to represent happiness, a peace sign to represent a peace of mind, & five peas in a pod to represent our family.
Signed prints are available of this piece for only $15! Please visit my website for more information.
here's a excerpt of a short story I am writing I thought I'd share with ya'll :) Enjoy!:
we looked at the moon that night...
it was bright, glowing, luminescent & filled your entire body with a deep and peaceful energy...
A breath, warmth, a smile, a gaze....the aura in the sky seemed more blue that night, but glowed with intense brightness....the stars lit up the sky
moments between us seemed slow...like honey, and it was as if everything else in the world had stopped....and it was only us in that moment in time...exchanging divine energy...that flowed from soul to soul with such ease..it was as if these souls had interacted before in such an embrace...there was a great deep love between the two...a spark of infinite light that neither of them could deny....
So excited to say this is the very first blog! yay!...So anyways, people, I am going to be posting everything from projects I am working on, artwork, pieces of my portfolio, to poems to pics, so please keep checking back, adding your support & love, :), lord know I'll need it!
