Word of the Year 2020

Happy New Year Lovelies!!
I don't think I can express how happy I am to have made it to 2020. It felt like touch and go there for a moment. Life was just feeling way too hard and I was really struggling with all the parts of being an adult.

I had to make some really tough, but necessary, decisions last year in order to find my way back to myself. I was stuck in survival mode. Well, if I'm really honest, I've been in survival mode for about two years and that's just not how we re intended to live. Seriously, I know we are meant to thrive. Everything is set up on a natural level for us to do so.

It's when we begin to live in a way that is NOT natural -- that's when we have to figure out how to survive. And when that becomes the norm, watch out...things get bumpy.

From the Studio - The First Mini Art Retreat

It happened y'all!!!
It really happened.
We held our FIRST mini art retreat at the new studio and it was a blast. The five women who trusted us with their creative journey came from as far as Sarasota, Florida and as close as five minutes from the studio!! Some of the ladies had taken online classes with me, but I had never met any of them in person (except my mother -- standing to the right of Tiare). It was spectacular. I learned a lot from this first experience and I'm gearing up to create space for the next group of special women creatives. Stay tuned for details. But for now, let's recap our Creative Freedom Retreat with Tiare Smith.

A Friday Favorite: Pull Pen Paint 2019

It's BACK!!!!!!

I'm thrilled to announce year three of Pull Pen Paint: Exploring Intuition, Imagination, and Imagery. If you've been around here long, you know that this class is near and dear to my heart. It's one of the classes that I hoped someone else would offer, but never saw it happening, so I reached out to some of my pals and favorite online people and we built a beautiful community with love, light, and lessons on how to tap into that which makes us magical.

This year I've gather 16 of my favs and we just opened the doors for 2019. Here's what I'm looking forward to from this year's line up of teachers.
