The Really Good News
The good news is that we are waking up.
The bad news is that the alarm went off a while ago.
The good news is that it is not too late.
The bad news is that we have to act fast.
The good news is that we actually know what to do. Continue reading

Presence of Peace: An Audience With Our Lady
Your original question was: How can we be at peace, yes?
I have told you. And still you do not believe me. How then is change possible?
Why don’t you just try it? Like you tried today, calling on me?
As you all are so fond of saying: What have you got to lose?
So much of this creation, little one, is set up to work with how
you approach your lives. What you allow yourself to think,
and what stories you choose to cultivate. And the stories you make
about the stories to hold yourself, and others captives. If you all would
stop, just this part, the whole world would be different overnight.
You are the miracles in your midst. Continue reading

OPEN – A writing for overcoming, and visiting a cafe in heaven.

Manifestation Altar – An Art Project for Focusing on Your VISION
Taking action is one of the most essential parts of realizing or manifesting a Vision. If we do not take action our project remains an idea. An action can take many forms: an action plan, a drawing, a mission statement, a luncheon with someone who can assist, building a model, a business card, a web-presence, attending a workshop, planning an event, joining a club, opening a bank account, calling a circle, hiring a coach, creating a space in which to work, buying a binder, setting up a desk, creating a recording, making a collage, a vision board, a manifestation altar or collage, painting it, singing it, praying about it, enrolling others in it, putting it on your computer, starting a blog even if it is just for you, posting affirmations on your mirror, getting friends to remind you of it, calling people who are doing it, volunteering where it is happening, getting in the presence of it somehow. Practice believing in yourself and your project. Walk about it. Dream about it. Make up names for it. If you are a prayer person, pray, if you are a meditation person, meditate, if you are a wish upon a star person, wish and wish and wish. If you are a ‘mostly intellect’ person, think on! As it is all very much about our thinking. If you are a chef, cook it in your soups, if you exercise, move it! FOCUS on it! To create with good intention, can be an act of personal and collective abundance. Continue reading

Navigating Our Economy With Grace: An Artist’s View In A Letter To An Old Friend
Who Are We Going to Be?
I have a strange notion to embrace our economy. A mystical sense that to navigate these changes with grace will require deep love, not regret or blame. While at every turn, fear is present with the “what if’s” it has always used to leverage itself into our lives. Each day, I face fear with paintbrush and pen in hand and kindly reply, “I have no need of your stories, but, thank you for reminding me.” To choose not to submit, when fear, regret, blame, shame and other not-so-kind frequencies have been laced into the air by the unseen hands of doom sayers – well, it takes courage.
