“Love sees the thorns but cherishes the rose anyway.”
― Jeffrey Fry
To love someone unconditionally is to see and accept that person for who he or she truly is.
If you’ve picked this photo, you’re invited to contemplate all your relationships.
Do the people in your life feel comfortable showing their true colours to you? Or do they wear masks because the price of being themselves in your presence is too high?
You can’t change how they choose to be. But you can certainly cultivate a more accepting and loving environment for them to grow in.
To really love, you first need to truly see. That means it’s important to look beyond the masks and mud to reconnect to the truth.
One way to encourage others to be who they truly are is to show yourself as you truly are. Show both your flowers and your thorns. Be honest. Be vulnerable. Be quirky. Be brilliant.
By seeing, accepting, and loving yourself for who you truly are, you’re opening the garden gate to others. They may feel freer to blossom in your light. Some won’t like it, but that’s their choice.
Living your life as someone else defeats the purpose of being alive. So be your Self and allow others to do the same.
As they reveal their essence to you, check in with your heart to see if you’re fully appreciating them, thorns and all.
Are you open to their differences? Can you empathize or sympathize with their growing pains? Can you celebrate their buds and their blossoms?
May you grow in both your giving and receiving of unconditional love.

Doesn’t it feel great to give?
Do you like to give gifts, advice, donations, affection, time, or help?
Do you enjoy organizing parties or preparing meals for friends and family?
For someone to express their joy of giving, there needs to be someone whose equally happy to receive.
If that person, however, is so focused on what they don’t have, they close themselves off from you. They won’t even see your gift, appreciate your love, or hear the invitation.
If you’ve picked this photo, you’re being asked to explore the ways you can allow the Universe’s abundance into your life. How can you become a better receiver?
Do you graciously receive gifts and compliments? Are you open to asking for and receiving help?
Can you let go of control for even better solutions to present themselves?
Are you allowing the flow of energy into your life – be it love, money, inspiration, well-being, experiences, etc.?
Allowing is an art. It’s at the core of the Law of Attraction.
Get in touch with your heart’s desires in any area of your life. Appreciate what you already have and imagine the feeling of having more of it.
Like attracts like. So if you’re broadcasting to the Universe your appreciation for the money or love you already have, you’ll attract even more to you.
Allowing means not resisting how the energy of your thoughts and feelings work.
If your thoughts turn to lack, for example, it’s like closing yourself off from the flow of abundance. It’ll pass you by.
Get the flow moving. Be open. Ask and you shall receive. The Universe loves to give.
Think, act, and feel as though you’re abundant right now. In truth, you are! Once you allow for that truth to sink in, you’ll become a much better receiver to gifts of the Universe.

Sometimes misunderstood, the Japanese Geisha is a professional entertainer, not a prostitute.
She’s a highly cultured woman trained in the arts of dance, music, conversation, and yes, a little flirtation.
In traditional Japanese culture, the wife’s role was to be modest and responsible. The Geisha’s role was to be skilled, entertaining and seemingly carefree.
If you’ve picked this card, you’re being asked to contemplate the balance of these qualities within yourself and your relationship.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a man, woman, single, or married.
Are you blooming true or hiding parts of your authentic beauty? Have you become too serious and blasé about life?
If you’re in a committed relationship, are you both a friend and a lover? Or have you become more of a mother / father to your partner?
How can you be more entertaining with and for each other? What skills would you like to bring into your relationship? Dancing, communication, cooking, Kamasutra positions?
If you’re single, are you so focused on your work that you’ve stifled your need for culture?
What skills would you like to add to your life? Painting, music, dancing, etc.? You don’t need someone else to get dressed up for or go out with – get glamourous for the fun of it!
So go ahead! Bring your Geisha side out, so you can form, nurture and grow your relationship to Self and others!

Are you bored or overworked?
It’s time to have fun outdoors!
If you’ve picked this photo, your soul is calling you to shake things up a little.
What can you do outside to raise your vibration? What brings you joy!
It’s never a waste of time to boost your batteries.
Get out in the sunshine and bask in the wonder of being human.
Feel the sun on your skin and the breeze in your hair! Stop and smell the flowers! Make snow angels! Play!
Beware of energy-sapping escapism. This isn’t about losing yourself. It’s about reconnecting to your Self and nature in fulfilling ways.
This could be on your own or with friends. Perhaps it’s travel, photography, nature contemplation, or skiing. Whatever it is, make time for it and do it soon.
You’re worth it!

How Will You Come Into Bloom?
What’s one inspired action you’ll take in the next few days to come into bloom? Please share in the comments below.
Surround Yourself with Beauty.
It’s so important to surround yourself with art that support you on your journey to your Highest Good. Does your artwork raise your vibration and inspire you to connect to your True Self?

Spirit Song Painting & Guided Meditation
/in Guided Meditations, PaintingsMy heart swells with love as I share these Spring Equinox / Easter gifts with you.
May they encourage you to sing your Spirit Song, blessing your own life and the lives of all those around you.
“Spirit Song” – the painting
“Spirit Song” is part of a growing series of paintings inspired by the great ocean that surround the island of Newfoundland, where I live.
It calls you to rise up from the depths to move upwards & onwards, creating momentum in your life.
When you raise your vibration, you align with your Higher Self, making it possible to connect and communicate with your team of Divine Helpers.
The energy infused into this work encourages you to emerge from the winter more fully as your Self.
On a side note, have you ever seen a humpback whale up close?
I was blessed to have this experience while in a zodiac a few summers ago. I found out that the bumps on their nose are called tubercles. They contain hair follicles. I include a few photos I took in the album below.

Sing Your Spirit Song” – the meditation
“Sing Your Spirit Song Meditation” is a guided creative visualization I channeled to help you connect to your Light.
I’d asked my Facebook Friends what they needed support with. I was then honoured to be used as a channel for Spirit to work through me.
Take 45 minutes in your day to close your eyes and be fully present in this participatory exercise.
May it open you up to the clarity & courage to sing your Spirit Song into the world.

Unlocking the Gifts of Your Shadows
/in Paintings*
I love so much about the life I’ve designed for myself, but the lack of income in the past year was taking its toll. Hard work wasn’t resulting in increased sales and the “why bother?!” soundtrack was getting louder in my head & heart.
I’d asked my team of Divine Helpers to point me in the right direction. “What’s my next best option to have a more fruitful career as an artist & intuitive?”
Part of living an intuitive life is realizing when you’re off track and need help. For me to continue inspiring others to connect and be true to their Higher Self, I had to admit that I too needed inspiration.
Everything pointed to the need to go deeper within to see what was sabotaging my financial success. I knew better than to blame the local economy or anything outside myself.
When the student is ready, the teacher appears. This time, he showed up in the form of the spiritual visionary and thought leader, Derek Rydall. I’d never heard of him, but the 4-hour recording my friend sent me started shifting thing in both my inner and outer reality.
That was sign enough that my request for guidance had been answered. So I invested in his Awakened Wealth Mastery 9-week live program -“to create a life of sustainable wealth in every area regardless of the conditions”.
It’s already been fruitful! In week 1 alone, I listened to over 20 hours of audios while painting. Perfect!
This painting, “Unlocking the Gifts” was inspired by Derek Rydall’s Shadow Process, which you too can experience for free on his website.
Derek Rydall – Shadow Process
You’ll grow as a result of Derek’s 30-minute Shadow Dancing Meditation.
It’s all about embracing your shadows and unlocking their gifts.
It asks you to look at the area of your life that you feel most stuck in – that you want to grow the most in. Then you’ll be lead in a process that helps you identify:
I was amazed at the results this morning.
One shadow really caught me by surprise. Somewhere along the way, I learned that getting rewarded for my gifts was unspiritual. I had no idea I believed that on any level since on a conscious level I see money as just a part of the energy flow. Very very interesting…
The beauty with this process is that by embracing your shadow, you unlock its gifts (the reason for the spiral in my painting). It’s not about battling it or hating it. It’s all about love!
Funny Story
My Divine Helpers kept playing with me once the Shadow Process was done.
As soon as the audio finished playing in my iTunes, a random song from my music collection started. It was “Sweet Dominique” by Adam Cohen. It’s a rather sexy song with the lyrics “I didn’t know that we could go so many kisses deep, Sweet Dominique”. After going so deep in my shadow process, I felt so acknowledged and loved when hearing this song! The timing made me laugh!
Then, when I went into our class Facebook Group to share this story, I explained that the “Dominique” song I’ve been hearing my whole life when I introduce myself to others is the Singing Nun version about a poor religious brother called Dominique. In the English lyrics, it says:
So yeah – the message about blessed poverty was deeply ingrained. He was poor, but he was happy and doing God’s work. I’d like to be happy no matter what, and although I choose simple living, I’m not interested in being poor.
What do your shadows have to teach you? What gifts are waiting to be unlocked? Try his meditaiton to find out.
Unlocking the Gifts – the painting
“Unlocking the Gifts”. (12″ x 18″) – SOLD
Acrylic, glass beads & aventurine on gallery-wrapped canvas (no framing required)
1) Seahorse: The seahorse is a symbol of Curiosity, Patience, Protection, Perspective, Persistence, Friendliness, Contentment, High-Perception, Generosity/Sharing.
2) Spiral: symbol of evolution, holistic growth, release & connection with the Divine,
3) Aventurine: While creating the background, I was working with Gabriel, archangel of water, of emotion. I embedded a green aventurine, the “stone of opportunity” that helps harmonize body & mind as it releases toxic emotions. It supports your efforts to reconnect to the wealth that you already are.
P.S. While creating it, I was also reminded of The Work by Byron Katie. Turn It Around: each turnaround is an opportunity to experience the opposite of what you originally believed.

An Oceanic Trio of Paintings
/in PaintingsDoes the ocean call you? Are you, like me, a water person?
Then you’ll enjoy this oceanic trio of paintings, the results of my first experimentation with a new professional pouring medium that gives added dimension to the watery effects of fluid acrylics.
I thought it’d be easy since I’ve been playing with acrylic washes since the 80s … but if you keep scrolling, I’ll let you in on my humbling creative process.
First though – enjoy the results. These paintings looks great side by side as they’re all 12″ tall.
Which is your favourite?
Aperçu – The Glimpse
(9″ x 12″) – SOLD
SOLD
Is this magical creature being given a glimpse into the very core of Mother Earth – the fires of its origins, of the past? Or has it been shown an opening to a new path illumined by the celestial sun?
There’s an energy of curiosity in Aperçu (the Glimpse). It’s that fear mixed with excitement that comes from moving into the unknown. It’s an invitation to embrace the mystery & grow.
The sea horse is also a symbol of patience, protection, perspective, persistence, friendliness, contentment, high-perception, and generosity.
What other meanings are you feeling here?

Into the Depths
(12″ x 16″) – SOLD
This majestic humpback whale invites you to dive deep into the depths of your Self to rediscover your flow – your magnificent essence. It beckons you into a journey of ease & grace as you say YES! to the self-discovery that connects you to the Oneness of all that is.

This jellyfish is a reminder that for you to thrive, you need to live in harmony with Nature, knowing that you don’t have to do anything on your own. You too can connect to Source Energy to be guided to move with ease & grace.
Jellyfish are also a symbol of love, intuition, faith, balance, sensitivity, and flexibility through challenges.

“Momentum” – 12″ x 12″ – SOLD
The Spirit of Exploration
The painting studio is my sanctuary – where I go to connect with Spirit and play. But it’s also a science lab – where I experiment with new materials and techniques to achieve desired effects.
The trick is to stay in sanctuary mode when the science experiments fail.
You see, I was excited when I found out that my professional acrylic paint companies had developed pouring mediums that would enhance the effects I was already achieving with fluid acrylics.
I expected instant success.
My growth challenge was to remain in a state of inner peace even when hundreds of dollars of supplies seemed to be going to waste.
Plus the sticky messes that covered my studio needed days to dry before I could use the space to try again.
My desire to dive deep into the creative flow was stumped by delays, frustration, and scarcity mentality.
Can you relate to the humbling feelings of becoming a beginner again?
It’s all part of the growing process. You stretch through trial & error. There are no failures – just learning.
Having an open heart and positive mindset are key to the creative process.
The trick is to invite your Higher Self and Spirit in and to keep the ego and fear out of it.
Once I’d accepted that my investment in these expensive art supplies were an investment in play & learning, it all flowed so much easier.
The backgrounds you can see now in this oceanic trio are the 3rd thick layer of pouring medium mixed with fluid acrylic colours. Each colour has a different density or weight, affecting how they interact when they’re poured together and slowly shift over time. You have some control, but there’s lots of room for surprise.
Once I’d co-created a look that pleased me, the creatures appeared in my mind’s eye – leading to days of that meditative painting and dot-making bliss that nourishes my soul.

What kind of growth would you like to see in your future? What seeds do you need to plant right now?
Let your intuition guide you. Tune in!
Pick the photo that attracts you the most and scroll down to start planting seeds that are right for you.
As you contemplate your chosen image, also add your own interpretation. This is a great way to exercise your intuitive muscles. Why do you think that image is calling you?
Want to find out what I’m inspired to create for you next? Join my mailing list and get a free guided meditation mp3.
#1 – Serenity
Are you able to stay calm, peaceful, and untroubled in the midst of chaos?
Or are you thrown off kilter by changes in plans, unexpected results, world news, and unhappy people?
Wouldn’t you like to be the eye of the storm instead of jumping right into the drama, adding more energy to it?
Serenity is something you can nurture within yourself so you can act instead of react to life.
The more deeply rooted you are in your own serenity, the stronger a source of peace you’ll be for those around you. They’ll gravitate to you. Your very presence will calm them down. What a gift!
If you’ve picked this photo, you’re asked to check in on your serenity levels. Then take inspired action to become more peace-full.
So what do you need to be more at peace with everyone and everything? Schedule it right away. You’re worth it!

#2 – Generosity
According to the Law of Compensation, the more you give, the more you get.
The opposite is also true. The less you give, the less you get.
If you’ve picked this photo, you’re asked to reflect on both your level and quality of contribution.
Take note. True generosity comes from planting healthy seeds. Their energy is pure.
So keep an eye on your motives. You don’t want to be planting tainted seeds. Giving just to get doesn’t work.
There’s a difference between giving to get and receiving through giving.
Giving feels great when it’s aligned with your beliefs and values. It increases your happiness, opens your heart, supports cooperation, promotes gratitude, inspires more giving, and is good for your health. That’s part of the abundance the Universe returns for your generosity.
So back to the question: How can you be more generous? Is this a question of quantity, quality, or both for you?
Let your generosity be inspired, not forced. The quality of energy you put into your gifts will affect the difference they make in the world.

#3 – Stillness
Be still.
Quieten your mind and your heart to reconnect to your essence.
This is easier said then done.
If you’ve picked this photo, you’re invited to carve out time in your busy schedule to connect to Source through stillness.
Start by setting your intention. Expressing it through rituals can help: prayer, smudging, lighting a candle, pouring a hot bath, sitting in a dedicated spot, etc.
Then meditate or focus your attention in a way that calls you.
You might:
Simply observe where your mind goes without judgment and gently redirect it back to your point of focus.
And breathe deeply so that Life Force fills your lungs and spreads throughout your body. Your breath is your connection to Spirit. It’ll help you decrease the static on the line between you and your team of Divine Helpers for clearer communication.
Whatever stillness practice you use, know that you’re planting seeds of awareness, connection, and wellness in your body, mind, and spirit.

#4 – Witness
Don’t you feel all warm and fuzzy inside when you know that someone’s truly seen and heard you?
They’ve shared in your sorrows and joys by simply being there – open and accepting.
If you’ve picked this photo, you’re invited to become more of a witness in the lives of others. Really listen. Share in their experience.
Be fully present, whether you bump into a friend at the store for 2 minutes, share a meal with your family, or meet someone new at a networking event.
Be careful not to jump right in with your story or try to fix the situation with your advice.
Try not to compare yourself or your situation to theirs. Gently bring your focus back to them. Witness their truth of the moment.
See and accept them for who and how they are right now. Acknowledge the beauty of their perfection in their imperfection.
Life isn’t meant to be lived alone. Being human is a shared experience. By being a witness to the ups and downs of those who entrust you with their moments and stories, you connect the Spirit in you to the Spirit in them. You’re planting the seeds of love.
Go ahead. Practice truly seeing and listening to the people you meet today. Be the witness they deserve!

A Purposeful Path Meditation
/in Guided MeditationsMy friend Leslie asked that we do something to help align us to our life purpose and our mission for 2018 and beyond.

#1 – Vision
It’s OK to have your head in the clouds for short periods of time every day. Actually, it’s fantastic!
In order to connect up with the life you want, you need to imagine what that life looks like, feels like, is like.
Visionaries blend wisdom and imagination to create new possibilities. Inventors first give birth to innovation in their minds.
So go ahead. Fill your head with what might seem to others as unrealistic ideas. Imagine already being and having what it is you want. Schedule visionary breaks and invite the angels to play with you.
Have fun this week exercising creative daydreaming in line-ups, on your daily bus ride, while brushing your teeth, or right after waking up.
Explore the manifestation powers of your mind.
But don’t forget to come back into the here and now with those feelings and visions. Let their essence inspire creativity and action.

#2 – Impact
You’ve heard the slogan “Just Do It!”, right?
Well, it’s time.
You’ve been in your head long enough.
Stretch your comfort zones and grow through action.
Dive into that project that’s been calling you.
Go to that class to learn what you need.
Tackle that problem head-on.
Join that club to meet like-minded people.
Ask that person out for lunch.
Call that potential client or collaborator.
Make an impact in your life and in the world around you this week by moving ahead in the areas that both excite and scare you.
Take action!
P.S. Sitting in a zodiac and watching this humpback whale coming straight at us was exhilarating. It’s boldness and curiosity had a great impact on me.

#3 – Mystery
Your first job as a co-creator with the Universe is to have a clear vision of what it is you’d like to live, have, create, etc.
Your next job is to let go of how that will manifest. Don’t try to force things to happen your way.
If you’ve picked this photo, you’re being reminded to let go of control. Have faith, trust, believe! Embrace the mystery. Get comfortable with the unknown. Let your plan evolve through inspiration.
Focus on what’s working and keep your energy aligned with the end result to keep attracting it to you. Don’t put the energetic brakes on by focusing on what you don’t have or the fact things aren’t working as you’d planned.
If you’re so bound on things manifesting in a particular way, you may miss the magical opportunities right in front of you.
For example, if it’s more money you need for a project, you may be so fixated on having your loan approved that you didn’t pay attention to a lucrative short-term contract proposal or an acquaintance’s offer to volunteer, which would reduce the costs of the project. Let your angels get creative and be ready to receive.
Stay excited about your vision and focus on the beauty of the co-creative process. Know your “what”, but leave the “how” up to the Universe.
Then keep your eyes, ears, and heart open. You’ll be inspired to take the necessary actions to achieve your goals and recognize alternative solutions to your challenges.

#4 – Trinity
What does the word “trinity” bring to heart for you?
Is it:
If you’ve picked this photo, you’re asked to reflect on how to best connect up to the three prongs of the trinity to empower your life.
Do you have an equally strong relationship with all three? Have you neglected any?
Are you stuck in one phases resisting the natural progression to the next?
Take some time to ponder why you chose this image and what your soul is calling you to be and do in response.

Leslie’s Soul Energy Portrait
/in Soul Energy Portrait ExamplesThe co-creative process behind Leslie’s Soul Energy Portrait was different than my usual client experiences.
Leslie Bridger, also known as the Wizard of Awe, is both a very good friend and a collaborator in events/ workshops.
She’d long talked about commissioning a piece when the time was right. That time revealed itself late last fall.
Unlike my usual Soul Energy Portrait Experiences (in which I channel an opening meditation, receive visions, do energy work, and send daily love letters) this one was based on three symbols Leslie received during a Steve Nobel meditation we listened to together at the beginning of a business meeting.
Once we’d finished the meditation, she told me about the infinity symbol, a heart, and a figure with her arms in the air and asked me to create a painting that incorporated all three.
Like with most of my paintings, there are so many layers of paint, symbolism, and energy here.
One day, when I wasn’t even planning to paint, I went to the studio to do my yoga, but it called me so strongly I found myself deep within the process for over 10 hours… and never did my yoga. I couldn’t keep up with the instructions I was intuitively receiving, yet also felt so calm, relaxed, and meditative.
In addition to the symbols that Leslie asked me to work with, I could feel the influence of Steve Nobel’s mediations. He invites the powerful energies of archangels and of the transformative grids of both ascending light from earth and descending light from the heavens.
These energies are present in the initial layers of patterns that can still be seen through the figure as well as the thousands of iridescent dots surrounding it. It’s a reminder that we are not separate from all that is. It is a part of us and we of it.
When Leslie saw it almost completed, she just stood there in silence for the longest time and then said:
I was so glad she liked it. Relieved even. I’d told her “I hope you’re ready to shine”, conscious of the amount of iridescent paint and the mirror I was guided to include.
The white & gold mica at the core of the infinity symbol add to this shine – infusing her path with love & compassion. When the infinity symbol had appeared in one of my visions for Leslie, they were almost as wings. With time, they evolved to include the crimson blood of humanity, the healing energies of Nature and archangel Raphael, and the celebratory feeling of Christmas coursing through it.
The heart in peacock colours is reminiscent of this creature’s ability to transform the toxins / poisons it ingests into beauty. Likewise, Leslie has transformed her near-death experience and challenges into the love and light she famously shares with others.
This is what she just shared with me, a month after bringing her Soul Energy Portrait home:
P.S. I work with clients all over the world to create Soul Energy Portrait Experiences. I only do a few a year as these are very intensive processes. If this is the divine timing for yours, please contact me to make arrangements. Learn more here…

#1 – Unconditional
To love someone unconditionally is to see and accept that person for who he or she truly is.
If you’ve picked this photo, you’re invited to contemplate all your relationships.
Do the people in your life feel comfortable showing their true colours to you? Or do they wear masks because the price of being themselves in your presence is too high?
You can’t change how they choose to be. But you can certainly cultivate a more accepting and loving environment for them to grow in.
To really love, you first need to truly see. That means it’s important to look beyond the masks and mud to reconnect to the truth.
One way to encourage others to be who they truly are is to show yourself as you truly are. Show both your flowers and your thorns. Be honest. Be vulnerable. Be quirky. Be brilliant.
By seeing, accepting, and loving yourself for who you truly are, you’re opening the garden gate to others. They may feel freer to blossom in your light. Some won’t like it, but that’s their choice.
Living your life as someone else defeats the purpose of being alive. So be your Self and allow others to do the same.
As they reveal their essence to you, check in with your heart to see if you’re fully appreciating them, thorns and all.
Are you open to their differences? Can you empathize or sympathize with their growing pains? Can you celebrate their buds and their blossoms?
May you grow in both your giving and receiving of unconditional love.

#2 – Allowing
Doesn’t it feel great to give?
Do you like to give gifts, advice, donations, affection, time, or help?
Do you enjoy organizing parties or preparing meals for friends and family?
For someone to express their joy of giving, there needs to be someone whose equally happy to receive.
If that person, however, is so focused on what they don’t have, they close themselves off from you. They won’t even see your gift, appreciate your love, or hear the invitation.
If you’ve picked this photo, you’re being asked to explore the ways you can allow the Universe’s abundance into your life. How can you become a better receiver?
Do you graciously receive gifts and compliments? Are you open to asking for and receiving help?
Can you let go of control for even better solutions to present themselves?
Are you allowing the flow of energy into your life – be it love, money, inspiration, well-being, experiences, etc.?
Allowing is an art. It’s at the core of the Law of Attraction.
Get in touch with your heart’s desires in any area of your life. Appreciate what you already have and imagine the feeling of having more of it.
Like attracts like. So if you’re broadcasting to the Universe your appreciation for the money or love you already have, you’ll attract even more to you.
Allowing means not resisting how the energy of your thoughts and feelings work.
If your thoughts turn to lack, for example, it’s like closing yourself off from the flow of abundance. It’ll pass you by.
Get the flow moving. Be open. Ask and you shall receive. The Universe loves to give.
Think, act, and feel as though you’re abundant right now. In truth, you are! Once you allow for that truth to sink in, you’ll become a much better receiver to gifts of the Universe.

#3 – Geisha
Sometimes misunderstood, the Japanese Geisha is a professional entertainer, not a prostitute.
She’s a highly cultured woman trained in the arts of dance, music, conversation, and yes, a little flirtation.
In traditional Japanese culture, the wife’s role was to be modest and responsible. The Geisha’s role was to be skilled, entertaining and seemingly carefree.
If you’ve picked this card, you’re being asked to contemplate the balance of these qualities within yourself and your relationship.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a man, woman, single, or married.
Are you blooming true or hiding parts of your authentic beauty? Have you become too serious and blasé about life?
If you’re in a committed relationship, are you both a friend and a lover? Or have you become more of a mother / father to your partner?
How can you be more entertaining with and for each other? What skills would you like to bring into your relationship? Dancing, communication, cooking, Kamasutra positions?
If you’re single, are you so focused on your work that you’ve stifled your need for culture?
What skills would you like to add to your life? Painting, music, dancing, etc.? You don’t need someone else to get dressed up for or go out with – get glamourous for the fun of it!
So go ahead! Bring your Geisha side out, so you can form, nurture and grow your relationship to Self and others!

#4 – Sun-Kissed
Are you bored or overworked?
It’s time to have fun outdoors!
If you’ve picked this photo, your soul is calling you to shake things up a little.
What can you do outside to raise your vibration? What brings you joy!
It’s never a waste of time to boost your batteries.
Get out in the sunshine and bask in the wonder of being human.
Feel the sun on your skin and the breeze in your hair! Stop and smell the flowers! Make snow angels! Play!
Beware of energy-sapping escapism. This isn’t about losing yourself. It’s about reconnecting to your Self and nature in fulfilling ways.
This could be on your own or with friends. Perhaps it’s travel, photography, nature contemplation, or skiing. Whatever it is, make time for it and do it soon.
You’re worth it!
