The Arrival is one of my most popular spirit dolls, inspired from a poem that I wrote some years ago.
The Arrival
"It took me all of my life to get to this moment...
This moment of surety in my being...
This moment of reliance in my capabilities..
This moment of loving who I am.
It took me all of my life...
To shed the feeling of inadequacy...
To shed the pressure of trying to measure up...
To shed the relenting voice that I had to do more to compensate.
It took me all of my life to get to this moment...
This moment of relief..
Relief from the thoughts that I had to do for everyone else first...
Relief from the oppressive weight that I was responsible for others..
And take responsibility for the gentle child that lived within.
It took me all of my life to arrive at this moment..
When instead of being the muse for them, I became the muse for ME...
Whispering ideas of inspiration into the many layers of my own soul..
It took me all of my life to arrive at this moment..
This moment when I am the cheerleader for myself...
When I carry an extraordinary pride of who I am and what I stand for..
When I share all the parts of me without fear.
It took me all of my life...
All of my life to arrive at this moment..
When my heart and voice have connected and are able to speak a graceful truth...
It took me all of my life to get here...
Right here at This Moment."

The Arrival Spirit Doll
This creation has been one of my most popular, maybe because the inspiration behind her is something that so many of us women can relate to. No matter how alike or different we may be, that part of our Journey when we heal and reclaim our power seems almost universal. It's almost like a spiritual graduation when we shed those restrictive narratives and expectations that society placed on us, and begin to consciously live our most authentic life.
Because there has been so much popularity of that first Arrival spirit doll, I continue to offer them as Made To Order. If you would like to learn more about collecting one for yourself or a sister friend, you can visit my website. Made To Order Arrival Art Doll
While the basic original design of this Art Doll Wall Hanger is used, each one is OOAK (original one of a kind). Each face is an Original Sculpt of Clay, and each body shape is uniquely different. Collectors can have some input on their commissioned spirit doll - Color Choices, Gemstone and Bead preferences, Long or Short hairstyle options, or incorporated symbolism around an additional healing theme.Approximately two weeks are needed for the creating. Each Arrival Spirit Doll comes ready to hang as Wall Art, AND with a signed copy of the Arrival Poem that inspired it.
I fashioned this design to reflect the essence of the poem, focused on Women's Empowerment, the Spiritual Journey, and the value of Self Love.
My Art Dolls are all a part of my Wisdom Keeper Art Doll Collection. They are created for adult collectors and not as children's toys. They are meant to be Companions for the Woman's Spirit and intended for empowering and inspiring.
Each Arrival Spirit Doll is approximately 20-22 inches in height. A strong fancy ribbon loop is sewn at the back of their head in order to display as wall art. Their size and detail make them a statement piece, lending the beautiful energy of the Divine Feminine to any space.
