From the Studio - The First Mini Art Retreat

5/18/2019

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.

2019 Word Color Symbol

Happy New Year!!

This year, like the last several years, I've selected a word, color, and symbol of the year. I find that doing this helps me recalibrate when things in my life get a bit hectic or chaotic. It also keeps me grounded and focused on what feels important to me at the start of a new year. I do this instead of setting resolutions that I will probably forget by February and that don't really do much for helping me be more mindful. You might wonder why I pick the three. Well, here's a little bit about that and how I use the three to help me stay committed to my journey.

Depth Year 2019: Going Deeper, Not Wider

1/2/2019

7 Comments

Listen to the AUDIO VERSION of this blog post.

So I recently stumbled upon this idea that has the power to change my life in the best way possible. Maybe you’ve heard of it, but it’s new to me and it has blown my mind. I’ve spent three weeks binge watching videos on YouTube and reading as many articles as I could find about the idea. Now I want to share my thoughts and my take on it. And of course share with you how I plan to make it happen.

WARNING: This concept won’t appeal to everyone, but I share it because it really resonates with me and it comes at the right time in my life. You may want to do a WIDTH year instead -- a year where you go wide, learn more, and do more. I’ve had a Width Life, so I’m good on that front for now.
