I did it! I made a second VLOG for you. I’m really enjoying this version of bringing a message straight to your ears and heart. Today’s vlog theme is loving yourself through life’s transitions. Really, all the theme for everything I do, in my art or coaching, is finding love for yourself. This video is[…]
Contentment is my practice today
Hello dear one. I’m trying out vlogging (video logging or video blogging). I still love to write, so this vlog-ing may stick around or it may be a once in a lifetime thing. Either way, I hope you can take about 10 minutes to listen in to my musings on a theme in my life[…]
10 survival tips for new moms
Hey there mama. I am writing this post for you, as you wade the waters of early motherhood. Life change in such a grand way (like becoming a mama) can be beautiful, but also daunting and full of a flood of emotions. As a new mama myself, I know those early months were full of[…]
Here’s how to be a dreamer and stay present
Almost all of my life, I’ve craved for what is in the ether and unknown. You can totally say that I am a dreamer. I loved to live in my imagination as a child, wandering the thick woods around my home seeing the landscape as a whole village. As a young adult, I considered myself[…]
A look at Beyonce’s bigger message
I don’t know the entire picture of what people are saying about Beyoncé’s performance at the 2017 Grammy Award ceremony. I have a nine month old that takes up almost any and all of my free time.

Yesterday, I was on a jog alone (shout-out to mama self care time!) and had this thought reoccurring in my mind: My creative path is[…]
Promise
Promise. This artwork of mine is a dear one to my heart, she’s a little over two years old. I created this piece by washing a deep blue india ink over raw wood surface. Then, I let the lines and details fill in the rest of the story of the painting. Promise. What a heavy word. What[…]
Inspirations today
Since my son was born 8 months ago, I’ve written a lot. Here and there, I’ve written in order to stay centered, sane, and to relate my experiences to the big picture. I write mostly about my experiences post birth and in early motherhood. I’m in the process of curating these entries to bring to[…]
Living artfully when everything changes
Before I gave birth to my son, I had expectations of what life would look life after he was born. My oh my, did life’s plan have a whole other road for me to travel down than the road of my expectations. As often with expectations, these expectations become our teacher by making way for[…]
A lesson in finding my answers
A journey to find the right answer, right now… I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with my online public persona. In example, for years I used an alias name for most of my online accounts because I didn’t want anyone to truly see me. I am introverted and painfully private at times, so staying under[…]
