Recently, I've been receiving huge nudges from the universe to share my gifts. Almost every day, I've found myself with some sort of cosmic nudge to do SOMETHING. I mean, I'm still painting. I try to create almost daily. I opened my Reiki studio where I offer Reiki in the late afternoons and on Saturdays. I have a book club, an accountability partner (actually 2). I want to start offering online Yoga classes for beginners. What else could it be?
I meditated. I journaled. Finally, I realized I just needed to take a step. I needed to be seen. Seen for real. Show up in my energetic glory. Teach people about energy in the body. How this energy should be cleaned, cleared, protected, and used to spread goodness in the world.
I've been seeking community, but have realized that if I want community in-person, I must create it. So, I'm taking a small step.
This may not be for you and that's okay. Just delete the email and go about your day.. I mean, don't unsubscribe. You don't want to miss out on my art and creative offerings, do you? But, if this is something you have interest in, I urge you to check it out today. I'm offering a Saturday morning, in-person workshop on your body's energy channels and how they work. ENERGY 101
Seating is limited to 6 people. I want this to be fun and enlightening, but also a safe space. We will talk about meridians and chakras, learn to recognized our own energy and the energy of others, as well as how to ground and protect ourselves. If this sounds interesting to you, but you have questions, please hit reply and let's chat!
xoxo,

Welcome to the October Newsletter! I can’t believe it’s October...and even more so, into the double digits already. We just returned from a week long vacation at the most Magical Place on Earth, Walt Disney World. If you've been around awhile you know we are Disney Fanatics. I love indulging my inner child, losing myself in imagination, and letting all my troubles fade away. It refreshes and recharges me but most importantly, it reignites my creativity. What's happening in October I know, I...

Welcome to the September Newsletter! I can’t believe it’s September. Summer slipped away while I wasn’t looking. It feels like we just didn’t have quite enough summer, but I could do without the 100 degree days. It’s okay though, it was a busy and fun summer and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Honestly, I’m kind of ready for sweaters and and jeans. So, with that, Happy Labor Day and the end of Summer! Gourds What's happening in September Not much. And that is exactly how I planned it. We...
