on solitude & introspectionI love birthdays They are my New Year Time to pause and reflect To celebrate how I've grown in the last 365 days Lessons learned Hope, goals, aspirations for the coming year This year More than ever Craving Solitude Introspection Going beyond words Time in the woods Writing The introvert in me was kicking in Getting excited for #38 Getting into the prime of me I also wanted to create a vision board for this next year of life. My health coach, Dawn said her vision board helps manifests her dreams & goals. Just learning of Soul Collage, a friend & mentor sent me the website right before my birthday. So, you know what time is was? Time to get my art on Time to see Those dreams of mine Come down to earth Into reality Go Deep Within Bring out the gold Time to connect with my mom Hear her whisperings In my art My visions for the year Share with her What's going on with me To listen To her wisdom From above I started making my plan. Then Life got involved. Oh, you are asking for some Solitude? How about pink eye? Introspection? How about no power for 52 hours? And the birthday celebration Of solitude & introspection Was on Beautiful Unexpected I got everything I wanted. Just not how I was expecting it. Isn't that how life works? Exactly what I needed Time to Nurture me Sloooooow down Way down Unplug Connect In the woods With my boy A beautiful birthday What I needed Most Minus conjunctivitis Feeling extra thankful for water that runs Would you like to see my birthday gifts? Journaling by Christmas candles, inspired by Bliss & Balance. Love all the memories held in each of these treasurers, and in little notes from Christmas elves. Painting my vision board at dusk with the last bit of daylight. Pink! Silver! We are out of gold painting. It's a spiral/rose shape with some big circles of silver glitter. Feeling happy already. My birthday cake on top of magazine images I clipped for the vision board. It's still perplexing to me why angry, deprived, sad looking women are considered beautiful in the fashion world? Anyways... All of our summer fruit defrosted made a lovely raw birthday cake, reminiscent of something my sister would have made, and fulfilling my son's wishes that I get to have a cake! Visions of my inner world. And snap! just like that. After 52 hours, the power came back on in time for me to glue. Images of the heart. How I ended my birthday, and begin this next year of my life. Open Your Heart: one of my goals for the year. Always.
Happy birthday! May all our wishes come true May we have time to slow down Enjoy our lives Remember We are all artists Connect with our heartbeats Always Be thankful for the blessings of our lives Hiding in the unexpected May we live our Hearts' dreams Every day Even when life is difficult May you, me, all of us Reclaim our lives Our gifts Our goals Happy end of Live Our Purpose 2014 xo

Hi friends, I write from the heart to tell my life story, and the story of those in my neighborhood called life. Research shows that our children's emotional & mental health is contingent upon us parents being able to tell our life story, or "coherent narrative." This is my coherent narrative, my life story in the making, with some of what I love in life too. My goal is to share my life in a way that is real, uplifting & positive- sometimes serious, sometimes fun. In my practice, I inspire parents to empowerment through reclaiming our life stories and learning respectful discipline. My work is my offering to our children- our future. Wishing you all a happy family! Archives
