Horsing Around – Emergence, the painting
“Emergence” (9″ x 12″) SOLD
What would you do if you had a week to horse around?
What lights up your fires of passion, play & purpose?
How can you do more of what uplifts you?
Making time for play and for giving to yourself is key to health & happiness.
It doesn’t mean you have to make it your channel for income as I have with my full-time art & intuitive play, but it does mean making it a priority.
So pause for a moment and ask yourself “What do I love to do that I haven’t done in a while?“.
Then take out your schedule make a date to add more play into your life – and more of the people, places, actions, objects that hold that essence for you.
Horsing Around in the Studio
Paint has long been my playmate & teacher. I was self-taught for the first 20 years or so, discovering my voice and my passion through play.
Intuitive painting is very freeing because you don’t know where you’re going when you start.
Layer by layer, you allow the painting to become what it wants to be. Do you want to try? Check out my free Guide to Intuitive Painting.
Intuitive painting is an opening for me to embrace the mystery and channel energy, imagery, and whatever personal development lessons the process has in store for me and my clients.
Emergence
This painting, “Emergence” came into being while I was a student in Derek Rydall’s Awakened Wealth Mastery Course.
Personal development is also one of my passions, my play, and my work.
I’d been staring at the background for a couple of months, unsure of what would emerge from it.
Then, as I re-connected to a deeper truth, strength, freedom, joy, and abundance, the horse emerged from the fire – first in my mind’s eye and a week later, on canvas.
As a Fire Horse (in Chinese Astrology), 2018 is the year for me to make peace with myself. So be it! So I let it be.
No more thinking small. No more playing small. No more undervaluing myself and my work. Instead, I emerge into yet another layer of potential that has always been there – an indomitable spirit of creativity, beauty, and love.
Our potential is inherent. It’s always been there!
What About You?
What gifts, talents, skills, passion are aching to come out if you would only give them space and time to shine?
They have so much to teach you about being who you truly are.
It’s not about improving, fixing, healing, controlling or manipulating anything or anyone.
It’s about allowing your truth to emerge, to make you free.
You’re like no one who has ever existed. Your gifts are precious.
Your passion, play & purpose – your happiness – brings a smile to the face of the planet and beyond.
So keep focusing on what brings you joy. Get hooked on your own passion, play and purpose.
And ask the Universe for the channels to allow these to emerge more fully in your life.
You’re worth it. We deserve it! We deserve you!
May you too emerge more fully into yourself this year.
If you need a reminder of the power and potential that has always existed within your core and need the energetic support to allow it to emerge, this painting’s for you!

On a Side Note
Have you spent hours watching clips of “The Voice”, “The X Factor” “Britain / America’s Got Talent”, etc. on YouTube?
In my efforts to reduce the number of hours I spend on Netflix, I’ve started treating myself to shorter inspirational blasts of these talent shows.
Wow! It’s so moving to see people who’ve discovered their passion and want so badly to express and share it.
These people aren’t horsing around.
They’re emerging into their truth, their gifts, no matter their conditions. It’s sooooo beautiful!
I join in the applause for these bullied kids, dreamers, cancer survivors, burn victims, grief-stricken souls, and determined spirits.
These shows are doing so much for them and for us – our lives are enriched by holding a space for their emergence.
To be honest, I haven’t watched the clips entitled “most stupid”, “embarrassing”, “most rude”, etc. I’ve focused on witnessing examples of overcoming challenges and dreams coming true. I’m hooked!

May your story & mine also inspire others to emerge more fully into the amazing being they already are.

Oh Dominique, I LOVE this one. This horse seems to me to be coming straight out of a cloud of darkness and doubt – emerging into the light and heading straight for me! Just like my little pixie has stepped through a special door! I am pondering how…..:-)
So glad you LOVE it Doreen – I love the enthusiasm 🙂 From what I’ve learned, leave the How to the Universe (through inspired action) and focus on the What. Stick to the vision and the steps to get there will reveal themselves. May your emergence continue with ease, grace, and fun!
