The Ship's Sailed... New Beginnings, New Moon Magic

My very first diamond art piece was of three ships. It was a large canvas but only part was diamond art. I bought the kit to complete with my two boys to give as a present to their dad for Father's Day. My life was a little tumultuous back then and found the diamond art to be therapeutic. I loved the repetitive motion with the colors to focus on. I have always been a believer in color therapy and this activity was very soothing for me. While I love making my own original art, I also enjoy following patterns at times to give my mind a mental break. When my life turned upside down and went through some major shifts, diamond art became my therapy. I still enjoy it to this day and have gone through phases of focusing on mandalas, then trees followed by moons. My son picked out my last piece and it was a ship. It brought back the memories of the first piece I completed and also how it was the first thing I noticed gone when my life changed unexpectedly. Completing this piece feels very cathartic and like the end of a chapter. I am grateful that the ship has sailed and all the beautiful lessons and blessings I received. Every twist and turn has led to this amazingly beautiful moment. I have so much gratitude and love in my heart. I embrace new beginnings and let my light shine ✨

Mandala for Living our Highest Timeline

Image
This mandala was created as a personal piece to acknowledge my growth and support further transformation. I have been reading and listening to a lot of Thich Nhat Han lately, including his book No Mud, No Lotus . One of the Buddhist principles is that there is suffering. We all experience and go through suffering at different levels throughout our life and that enables us to experience greater depths of joy, love and compassion. Just as the lotus flower needs the mud in order to bloom, I have gone through great challenges which have shaped who I am today.  The center of the mandala has the alchemical symbol of the philosopher's stone of a circle in a square in a triangle in a circle. The philosopher’s stone is a symbol of transmutation as it is said to transform base metals, like lead, into gold. As I began to draw this symbol, I started visualizing placing all of my lower frequency energy, thoughts, emotions, and patterns of behavior into the center circle so it could be transmute...

Chaos and Conflict: No. 33

Image
Daily Angel Oracle Card: Chaos and Conflict, from the Wisdom of the Oracle , by Colette Baron-Reid Chaos and Conflict: “Disarray; being at cross purposes with another; the tension of opposites; the value of chaos before order.” The Oracle’s Message: “Opposing forces come together to create a turbulent atmosphere. But consider the value of chaos that serves you well, as you become unmoored by it. Scattered to the winds, you leave behind the parts of yourself that you no longer need and disperse seeds to reinvent yourself anew. Although the conflict appears to exist externally its essence is also internal, projected  outward and causing disarray. You may find yourself at cross purposes with someone else, facing a storm you feel you can’t control. Yet every storm passes, and chaos leads to a reordering of things. Conflict provides a way to see more than one side of a situation. Look upon this as just a moment in time when you may need to take shelter and step away from the...

Crystal Gridding has me Grinning!

Image
    Crystals have been a part of my life as long as I can remember. I remember at a young age going to  conventions with my parents and sitting through workshops on crystals. I remember learning an invocation at a young age to cleanse crystals and have used it ever since. I learned the "rules" in regards to handling crystals that have become a part of my mindful practice. Working with crystals in a variety of ways and wearing them is a daily habit. However, crystal grids is something new to me.  Growing up, I do not recall ever having been exposed or been aware of crystal grids. Over the past few years, as I have delved deeper into my work with crystals, I have seen beautiful grids shared through social media channels. At different events, I have seen grids you could buy but never really put much thought into it.  All of that changed after taking a class with Natalija Kyle , a local clinical herbalist, reiki master, certified yoga teacher and holistic healthcare...
