MerFolk? How magical it would be to live in this whole other world that seems so far away yet it's right at our fingertips. I often imagine all of the people that I love and admire as MerFolk.... and Dolly Parton would HAVE to be a Mermaid! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div>Recently, I allowed my imagination to run and CREATED Dolly as MerFolk. Loving so many of her styles, I remembered a red jeweled dress that she had worn in the past. I recreated my version of it with red and gold swirled fabric. I adorned it with light gold and red beading. Of course Folly is known for being voluptuous, so I designed her breasts with gold and clear beads in a spiral fashioned bralette. </div><div><br></div><div>Her face took the most time, an original sculpt of clay, as I looked at photo after photo of her. It was important to get Dolly's smile right. I used a spun bamboo fiber to create her hair, and pulled it back away from her face a bit. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And what a perfect time to do so with my most recent creation, the Goddess Flidais, who is filled to the brim with <i>gentle </i>protective energy. I wanted to create work who's presence would be a reminder of a strong, yet kind and gracious personality, especially in our current world that can seem so aggressive. <div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This was definitely the case for me when we lost Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I was working in my Studio that day while the TV was softly playing in the corner. Breaking News had cut in to announce it and almost simultaneously it felt like my heaft sunk to the floor. It just couldn't be....it just COULDN'T. Even now I struggle to be able to describe the flood of emotions. The only reaction that I could express was to grab my clay. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>I'm not certain how long I immersed into her creation, just know that it was days. Each day I thought about the incredible, dedicated work that she did, her thoughtful dissents, and her work ethic.

I thought about her love of the opera and how she knew the value of feeding your soul with the arts. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Venus of Willendorf is thought to have been created 30,000 BCE. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
In the past and especially in other cultures, voluptuous women were often thought to be more vibrant, attractive and fertile. Sadly though, for many years here in the United States our main stream media has inundated us with a concept that beauty is staggeringly thin with features that are difficult to attain. For decades women have stressed on this concept and many have punished their bodies attempting to reach this corporate ideal.<br />
<i><br /></i>
Today Willendorf is still admired and loved by many, symbolic of Womanhood, the Mother, the Divine Feminine, Fertility, the Sacred Female, and Abundant Life.<br />
<br />
This piece is an Original Sculpt of Gourd and Clay that measures approximately 15 inches in height x 7 inches in width. She is permanently mounted on a wooden base that is painted black, signed and titled underneath. She was painted with Acrylics and sealed with a soft satin finish.<br />

The Goddess Wands can be utilized in variious ways such as : (1) Using the Ribbon Loop sewn at the back of her head, she can be displayed as Spiritual Wall Art, being a daily reminder of her symbolism. (2) As a Goddess Wand she can be used in Women's Groups or Gatherings, passed around the room and held by participants as they are Active Listening or Active Speaking, or ((3) As a Goddess Wand she can be a focal point during Visual Meditations. </span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"><b>The Knowing</b></span> is a Crone Intuition Spirit Doll. The Crone can teach us how to access our intuition more effectively, <span style="color: #741b47;"><b>and</b></span> to believe in it more deeply. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

She teaches about the importance of <b>clearing away the things that no longer serve us</b>. When we do so, we can cut down on all that outside noise that distracts us. Those distractions eat up valuable energy, create illusions within our priorities, and can muddle those more subtle messages that are being sent to us. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While many people are familiar with Space Clearing our homes and work places, the Crone also believes in Space Clearing the negative energy within our relationships and projects. When we clear the negativity, we are able to<b> maintain a greater inner balance</b>. When we come from a place of peace and inner balance, we pave the way for a clearer intuitive connection. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trusting in your Intuition becomes easier and easier over time. As one continues to improve on creating clear connections, and understanding the symbolism and messages that are sent, we are able to release self doubts and <b>Stand in our Power.</b> </div>

There are plenty of people out there who enjoy inserting themselves into our lives and "critiquing" us...."criticizing" us...or downright "judging" us. As of late there actually seems to be an overly abundant amount of it, so I think it is even more important for us to be diligent with our Self Care. In fact, researchers say that approximately 80% of our Self Talk is negative ! So, we definitely have some work to do on showing Kindness to ourselves...on a consistent basis. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently created "The Wild Woman and her Pocket Full of Love" to serve as a reminder to fill your thoughts with Loving Kindness. [ This Spirit Doll has sold, but you can request a commission from me, and I will create one for you that is similar ] </div>

<b style="font-style: italic;">The Wild Woman's Story </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the moments when she is feeling fragile, yet deep in her soul she wants to stand TALL in her power...she reaches into her Pocket of Love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the moments when she is discouraged, exasperated because she works so hard to live in Man's world, yet isn't compensated fairly for her work...she reaches into her Pocket of Love. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the moments when she doesn't Believe in herself , after taking to heart all those words from the nay-sayers, she reaches into her Pocket of Love....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so that she can remember that She Holds the Magic...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that she has all the tools she needs...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that she IS a powerful woman...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She reaches into her Pocket of Love that is filled with love notes To HER.<i> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Any time that you are feeling unsure of yourself, you can reach into the large pocket on the front of the Wild Woman and retrieve one of the Love Notes. [Several love notes and affirmations are written out to inspire, along with a few blank notes for you to personalize even further] </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each commissioned Wild Woman is OOAK (original one of a kind). They are Cloth and Clay creations, each face being an original sculpt of clay. Collectors can share their favorite colors, gemstones, preferences on hair color and length, and any desired themes in the love notes, and I will try to work them into her evolution. </div>

The Inspiration</h4>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1leNEdFF2gt6KTKZ11aARDs0pWhPiTrJGpUo1K8MgEK8GGndJZ0zxEJOjiM1VWXvaM0DJbHoml5a3gXPQOyNP6Y_Y2HaOLrLs3P68wc1MolwxQIgArnx5Mi29hVwb4TFEWLiRsfUX9hQ/s1600/CourageHeldFullPromo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Finding Courage where the eddy meets the sierra - OOAK Beaded Spirit Doll" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1leNEdFF2gt6KTKZ11aARDs0pWhPiTrJGpUo1K8MgEK8GGndJZ0zxEJOjiM1VWXvaM0DJbHoml5a3gXPQOyNP6Y_Y2HaOLrLs3P68wc1MolwxQIgArnx5Mi29hVwb4TFEWLiRsfUX9hQ/s400/CourageHeldFullPromo.jpg" title="Finding Courage where the eddy meets the sierra - OOAK Beaded Spirit Doll " width="300" /></a>I wanted to create a Spirit Doll to reflect a particular<i> character trait </i>at a distinct kind of <i>place, </i>hence "finding courage where the eddy meets the sierra". In my thoughts, being able to find "serenity in the strength" leads to the courage to move forward. When I thought of what that would look like visually, it made me think of a magical little space where a cool blue eddy meets the edge of a sierra...where the water meets the mountain.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
The Symbolism</h4>
In order to bring that forward in the spirit doll I used color, shapes, and gemstones. First, her face was an Original Sculpt done in a more roundish shape to reflect the circular movement of an eddy. Her complexion, painted with acrylics, was done in earth tones to connect with the mountains, the sierra. Adding the two turquoise gemstone chips to attach the face to the body was a perfect addition.<br />
Her hair, the main symbolism for the eddy, was created by sewing hand dyed fibers in fabulous cool water blues with hints of mermaid green. Her hair is wavy and flowing, almost a bit wild, but contained by pulling back in a loose pony tail - symbolic for the water current.<br />
Her body was sewn in a soft pyramid shape to reflect a mountain, using a batik fabric in a deep payne's grey that has accents of subtle yellow-green and blues. I loved the color scheme to symbolize the edge of the sierra, and then used several types of earthy beads to accent the symbolism.<br />
The <i>Unakite</i> (spirituality stone) focal bead in the center is itself in a pyramid shape that allowed me to add a small round beige jasper bead in its center.....the serenity in the strength....where the eddy meets the sierra. A flowing swirl of beads lead away from the focal bead, a mixture of<i> Prehnite, Green Jasper</i>, and <i>Wood</i> Beads....all beads associated with grounding, the earth, stability, balance, and strength.<br />
Fibers in lavender, turquoise, purple, and blue are tied around her shoulders as a scarf, and run along the bottom edge of her body and once across her chest.<br />

<br />
Crone wisdom reminds us first and foremost that those abilities are innately within us, and in order to deeply connect we must reach back before the days of oppression to when the Goddess ways were <i>THE</i> way. We are at our strongest when our rhythm is in sync with the Earth and the Sky, the tides and the moon, when our heart beats with Hers.<br />
<br />
She can teach how to<i> work with</i> the magic, techniques and symbolism, herbs and lore, but that truly <i>harnessing the magic</i> takes more personal inner work.<br />
<br />
Crone facilitates a deeper connection with the Divine Feminine. The more meaningful that connection becomes, you will begin to find a <i>more authentic</i> sense of Self Love and Acceptance. The patriarchal expectations of what a woman should LOOK like, TALK like, BEHAVE like, and BE like...just begin to shed themselves into a pool of unimportant jibber on the floor. As you begin to love and appreciate every aspect of your Being on this elevated level, you equally <i>believe and trust in yourself</i> more and more. That confidence in yourself facilitates more Ease in Manifesting and Strength in Magic.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT6pTbE5WI1-6ZWvprYfJePQjGAXA97T_wVKusw_41vf5eoPaymOz_Jw_8JVZ-4ffGBSjSJPdIZsnJrfPd10h8daer-p5iRYxkhVkL7AHelny4DLqMa9LxWzcCdUwln3oswu2ITB97ac8/s1600/MagicBeadedFaceCloser.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Harnessing the Magic - a Crone Beaded Spirit Doll " border="0" data-original-height="1364" data-original-width="1600" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT6pTbE5WI1-6ZWvprYfJePQjGAXA97T_wVKusw_41vf5eoPaymOz_Jw_8JVZ-4ffGBSjSJPdIZsnJrfPd10h8daer-p5iRYxkhVkL7AHelny4DLqMa9LxWzcCdUwln3oswu2ITB97ac8/s320/MagicBeadedFaceCloser.jpg" title="Harnessing the Magic - a Crone Beaded Spirit Doll" width="320" /></a></div>
The Crone will urge an inner exploration to ensure that one isn't carrying negative self talk or sabotaging traits that can work contrary to the intended goals.<br />
She will prompt one to surround themselves with loving and nurturing people, and distance Self from those who disregard their highest good.<br />
She helps one to understand that a person's inner climate and surrounding energy impact their spiritual connection and effectiveness of manifestation.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
When we are able to believe in ourselves AND believe in something bigger than us, AND understand the connection and purpose between the two.... the possibilities can extend past the Milky Way.<br />

I find it essential to create spaces in my home that are comfortable, feel safe, feel nurturing, even healing.<i> (Comfort bypasses proper Interior Design every time. )</i> I always chuckle when family and friends visit because they will navigate directly to every one of my personal spaces...in the living room, kitchen, even my studio/office. Yes, I do Space Clear and practice Feng Shui, so I suppose at the end of the day it's all about the Energy to me.<br />

I utilize colors and symbols throughout my home - everything that is placed has an Intention. I also have Prayer Altars, yes multiple.I have a formal one in the living room, but my more personal ones are in my Art Studio, Kitchen, and Bedroom - these being important energy centers for me. </div>

Over the last few weeks I have been creating some small Gourd and Clay Sculptures and Spirit Dolls, each with a focused theme, that can be placed on one's prayer altar. The newest one that I am sharing today is named "Cho Ku Rei", representative of one of the Reiki healing symbols. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Cho Ku Rei in Reiki is symbolic for Power, Energy, and as an Amplifier. Often when it is described, it is defined as </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Place the power of the Universe here". </div>

This OOAK (original one of a kind) Spirit Doll is an original sculpt of natural Gourd and Clay. I later used Acrylics and painted this petite dark haired beauty wearing a sage green dress with her arms held in front of her in prayer. There are subtle spirals throughout her dress, grooved in the clay. The Cho Ku Rei symbol is painted in purple, as a design on her dress. She is wearing a purple and green head wrap. Her eyes are closed in sacred thought. The sculpture sits on clay base that is painted purple with the words Cho Ku Rei on the front. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">She would be a perfect addition to a Healing Prayer Altar in one's home, but also welcomed in a Yoga space, a Massage Therapist's office, or at Reiki circles. </span></div>

There are times when we are seeking guidance when we know specifically that we are seeking wisdom from the Maiden, or the Mother, or from the Crone. There are other times when we have more difficult challenges to work through and we look to the Triple Moon Goddess in her entirety for sage support. In either case, I wanted to create a small sculpture to keep on a prayer altar that could reflect the embodiment of the Triple Moon Goddess AND that could do so in a way that many Goddess beliefs could connect spiritually. </div>

Often during prayer, I will look tot the Maiden when I begin new ventures, projects, or times of new growth. I will look to the Mother when I am focused on protection, fairness, relationships, abundance and health matters. And I look to the Crone for spiritual support, bigger picture views, wisdom, transitions, and healing. </div>

For many years I have honored the Triple Goddess, the "Maiden Mother and Crone". My focus has always been to authentically live through the stages, consciously aware of the experiences and the growth afforded to me. Over the past 16 years I have gratefully been able to merge my Art and my Spirituality to acknowledge the diversity we hold as women and the many layers we each have. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As I began transitioning into the Crone season it became a more quiet time for me. I needed that time to reflect on the lessons learned over time. While my beliefs remained the same, there was a shuffling in how I prioritized them. Those beliefs became my <i>core </i>beliefs and now were held with a level of absoluteness that is almost indescribable. My time and energy were now a valuable commodity not to be trifled with. And a sense of freedom emerged, so much more notable without the layers of needless worries attached. </div>

I want to share my journey through the Crone season, not only to connect and relate to other Elders, but to help change the narrative of this time. For far too long Crones have been dishonored. Instead of being referred to as the Sage Woman or the Wise Woman....the Crones became unattractive and unneeded...hags..broads...all in an attempt to dis-empower her.</div>

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
The Muse of Dance </h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The Change of Seasons, the eruption of Spring, inspired me to create a series of Wisdom Keepers that reflect the Nine Muses. <i>Terpsichore</i>, the Muse of Dance, was the first that came to mind. She is often depicted seated with a lyre, accompanying the ballerinas with music. But, I <i>don't</i> think a Muse should be sitting on the sidelines.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here I wanted her inspirational nature to be Dancing at the forefront. Her focused intent and quiet mind fully connected with the ecstasy of the Dance, where the soul is able to shut out all the background noise, <i>this </i>feeling of <i>BEING the Dance</i> is what I want portrayed. </div>

<div>
It was important to me when creating, that these nine muses be reflective of vibrant and empowered feminine beings, that they love themselves...their bodies...their talents...</div>
<div>
Here, Terpsichore was sewn in a free form full figure body, using a rich burnt orange and magenta batik fabric Her sacred womb was embellished with a beaded spiral of Rhodochrosite gemstone beads. She holds a gorgeous smokey glass faceted bead that is symbolic for Her Sun and Her Moon.<br />

But she definitely deserves some space on the blog, especially as she is one of my favorites. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was created to honor Iris Apfel, the beloved fashion icon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
The Creative Process of making Iris Apfel </h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had such a great time creating her, choosing a multitude of fabrics that would be unique and reflective of Iris and her style. I'm thinking about creating another of her because that creative process was SO entirely fulfilling. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Choosing gemstones and beads to create her bold statement jewelry pieces was one of the most detail oriented parts, by trying to imagine what Iris would choose. </div>

My love for Frida Kahlo recently led me to learn about a magical place in Mexico that was truly an inspiration. One afternoon I had been reading and found that Frida had adopted her colorful traditional dress and style from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. I started to look up information about the region and discovered that this place was not like any other within Mexico. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tehuantepec is known for its Marketplace, most especially because it is run and operated by the Women. The Women dominate the local markets and the regional economy. It is said that Juchi Ta'n de Zaragoza is the most impressive - rows and rows of stalls filled with jewelry, folk art, clothing, and local foods. While most of the men work in agriculture, the women are highly experienced vendors at Market. The women are afforded economic independence, which is out of the norm for the rest of the country. Here you find the indigenous Zapotec culture, which is said to be more advanced, in many ways, than Western culture. </div>

More specifically, a Comfort Doll for women who tend to worry. I created her so that she could be displayed virtually anywhere in the home, or on a wall, and be a reminder with her message that is painted Word Art on her muslin. She is also a perfect size, and softness, that she can be held during difficult moments or in moments of meditation. I know for myself the importance of continually reminding our spirit about releasing and relieving stress, because <b><i>I</i></b> am an Expert Worrier. </div>

Butterfly Blessings Message:</h4>

<i> <span style="background-color: #f0f0f0; color: #333333; font-family: "roboto slab" , serif; font-size: 18px;">"Don't hold on to those worries, dear one. Worries can multiply if you don't pay attention. Your Sacred Self was meant for holding LOVE, not worries. When you feel a worry fluttering around in your belly, visualize it as a Butterfly. Close your eyes and Ask for a Solution. Give that worry to the Butterfly, and allow it to Fly Away. These are your Butterfly Blessings." </span></i></div>

The Creation of Butterfly Blessings</h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Butterfly Blessings" is an OOAK (original one of a kind) Art Doll that was entirely made from original painted muslin. Her face is an original painting on heavy muslin. Her body and butterfly headdress is free form sewn muslin and painted. A fabric medium was added to the Acrylics to protect the painting. Additional linen and fabric trims, along with a few glass beads and an applique were added for her embellishment. She is soft, beautiful, wise, and calming. </div>

<h3>
Understanding the Wild Woman</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh-rKrOXqVsrfUM9RXrXSzShze8VVcGupfXmPuY4ln2iL2DNhF4VpN2M9vAp6VUNzd-dZSF4aiEzmnuYR7lJ7gYS5F5eusi6l1tG2BlH057ngL5GBOMIKBaawigoKvv6hqD_ZBoCNYmYo/s1600/WildWomanFull.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="OOAK Art Doll Wild Woman" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh-rKrOXqVsrfUM9RXrXSzShze8VVcGupfXmPuY4ln2iL2DNhF4VpN2M9vAp6VUNzd-dZSF4aiEzmnuYR7lJ7gYS5F5eusi6l1tG2BlH057ngL5GBOMIKBaawigoKvv6hqD_ZBoCNYmYo/s400/WildWomanFull.jpg" title="OOAK Art Doll Wild Woman " width="300" /></a>She doesn't have time to waste worrying about what others think about her. She doesn't read the Reviews. This life is her "One Woman Show". </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She is the Director, the Producer, and she Designs the stage. Each day is her performance art. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is no Playbill, it is all Improv. It is her truth, her hopes, and her dreams. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She decided to stop <i>thinking</i> small and to stop <i>living</i> small. The cookie cutter life is not for her. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her spirit is too large to live inside the box of "should", and once she had stepped out of it she found she was in the land of "could". </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She has learned to be more discerning about who gets to join her on her stage. There are those who will try to steal your lines, those who will try to upstage, and even those who will try to take control and make it their own. So some won't get a call back, and others may just be given a small tight role. After all, this IS her production. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She doesn't much care about how many people show up. What she does care about is that each day she goes out there and gives it her all, follows her heart, speaks her truth, listens with sincerity, inhales love, and exhales joy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is the Life and the Passion of the Wild Woman. </div>

It is the only way that her spirit is able to Live....authentically. She finds joy watching and engaging with the precious life all around her, be it plant, animal, or human. There are lessons to be learned from them all, aren't there?. Though honestly, as of late, it has brought sadness to her.<br />
Watching how people have been treating one another, the judging, the tearing down, the turning of backs on one another, and the total disregard out of greed or fear.....all seems to be at such heightened levels. The grief exists whether she is on the receiving end or witnessing it happening to another. At times it feels like her heart couldn't hold one more <i>ounce</i> of sadness.<br />

<br />
There have been many who have offered up unsolicited advice for her sadness....turn off the news...don't be an advocate...don't participate in social justice events...don't engage in politics...delete people from social media...delete people from your life...turn your back...turn the other cheek...let someone else help...keep your thoughts to yourself....bury your head in the sand....just worry about your own life...don't talk about the negative...grow a thicker skin...you're just looking at things wrong...Close Your Heart. ...<br />
Sometimes all those things make her snort a half giggle. She thought how funny it is that as children we are raised to be thoughtful, kind, and giving human beings....yet when we are older we are told NOT to be.<br />

She <i>is not</i> going to change who she is. She will <i>continue</i> to walk with her Heart Wide Open...to feel...to love...to cry...to laugh...to help...to give....to be fully Present for herself and others. She will continue to let her heart lead the way.<br />
And in those moments when things feel a little rocky, when the sadness comes, and when the world seems disappointing, she will protect herself Spiritually.<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">She will close her eyes and imagine herself standing within the Agate Sunset....where the wide open sky looks like a painter's brush has spread magnificent streaks of magenta and fiery orange, dusty rose and splatters of periwinkle blues. She will hold close those wondrous Agate gemstones, gifts from Mother Earth, as they cleanse away the stress and stimulate her life force, those tool bits of spiritual protection. She will come to this space every night and she will come here as often as need be...to remember who she is...to remember that we are all Perfectly Imperfect...and to continue having the Strength to Walk with her Heart Wide Open</span><span style="color: #741b47;">.</span><span style="color: #990000;"> </span><br />

Before you know it we begin to neglect how we take care of ourselves, giving <i>more and more</i> to Others and <i>less and less</i> to Self.<br />
There is great value in Self Care and Self Love. It nurtures the creation of healthy boundaries, helps us make more balanced decisions, maintains an inner balance, boosts our self esteem, and models to those around us the value in treating people with love and respect.<br />

<br />
We need to ask ourselves.....<br />
Do we spend quality time with Self? Do we take ourselves out on dates doing things that we truly enjoy?<br />
Do we stop and ask Self how our day was, a check-in of sorts? Do we listen attentively to how we feel and honor those feelings?<br />
Do we prevent the all-popular Negative Self Talk?<br />
We often will be cheerleaders for those we care about.... Are we a cheerleader for <i>our own</i> Inner Being? Do we give ourselves pep talks and encouragement?<br />
Do we keep promises and commitments with our Self?<br />
Are we Honest with our Self?<br />

These are just a few things to stay aware of, all basically reminding us that we need to make ourselves a priority and that our needs are important. If we don't value and respect our Inner Being, how can we expect others to?<br />
<br />
Replacing our <i>Negative Self Talk</i> with <i>Empowering Affirmations </i>is a wonderful self care practice.<br />
I created "Love Lessons" to serve as a <u>visual reminder</u> of using Affirmations each day.<br />
<br />
I am Worthy * I am Loved * I am Beautiful * I live in a Loving Abundant Harmonious World * Hope * Love * Smile * Brave * Dream<br />

<i>"Living within your Authenticity is when your Walk is equal to your Talk - it is when you are confident of your Truth and have no fear in sharing it with the world - when you don't make excuses for your spirit - and when you don't feel the need to explain or convince the validity of your beliefs.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Living within your Authenticity is living within a place of Balance - when you don't feel the need to behave aggressively in order to share your thoughts - when you don't feel threatened by an opposing viewpoint - when being yourself doesn't need to be a battle - when you feel Peace in your Truth." </i><br />
