Workshop



I lead a workshop last night. It was absolutely wonderful. Each person there was amazing. I was so touched by the sharing. They made lots of cards and everyone was very open in sharing them.

I wanted to pass along a link. Debbie Ford does a lot of shadow work. She's written books and lectured about embracing our shadow sides. I subscribe to her blog and this morning I received this beautiful post. I think it speaks so well to why we make cards for those parts of ourselves that we really don't like. Here's the link. Enjoy!

My Path Found Me



This is another card for my Vision Suit.

It's been an amazing week of self-discovery for me.

I finally listened to the voice that has been trying to tell me what I want to do with my life.

It was startlingly clear.

I want to work with children, being a cheerleader for their creativity.

As I travel the amazing blogging community, I hear a similar phenomenon of people, particularly women, becoming aware of the full potential of their creative inner selves well into their thirties, forties and beyond.

This is a truth for me, as well.

I was 40 when I discovered my inner artist. She burst into my awareness and out through my paint and glue-covered fingertips.

I don't believe in regrets, but for a time I struggled with the "what-ifs." Such as, "what if I had discovered this muse and her power in my teens or even as a child." "what if I had discovered how powerful my inner selves are before so many outer voices influenced my life's path."

Here and now I want to help introduce children to their Neters and to encourage their participation in making choices throughout the rest of their lives.

This card, made as part of the Full Moon Dreamers project, reflects my immediate goals for January.

Details: Writing a mission statement.

Networking: Finding people and places that will connect me with those who will benefit most from this process of SoulCollage and my take on it through my Neters.

Get Started: Just Do It. Don't wait. Make it happen and let the Universe help me.

I hope you'll come with me on this journey.

I finally feel that I am on THE path, no longer walking in the bramble betwixt them afraid to go forward.

I look forward to your insights along this path.
