Dance is my power animal.
Feels like aeons ago that I danced at the yoga studio in Millis, Massachusetts, where this picture was taken, circa 2009. That shirt had a golden dragon on it. I often put together ensembles like that. Makes me feel powerful and creative.
In synchronous perfection, we are now in full swing of the dragon power energy of 2024. I’d like to inspire you to tap into the inner expansive fire energy of this Aries New Moon Solar Eclipse weekend. Find union with your creative energy. Do some inner exploration through creative connection.
Get in touch with the spirit of nature and your inner nature.
Dance and music, my life-long soul companions, can bring us into full connection with creative flow. I often dance outside, sing with the river in deep energetic conversation with Mother Earth.
In fact, I just enjoyed a 15 minute dance session in my office to get the creative writing juices flowing. Today’s power outfit involves a black and white striped kimono and large rose quartz crystal neckclace on a golden chain.
Now, in full sensory satisfaction and frequencial alignment, my brain and body move into the flow of writing. Listening to high vibe music while I write evokes emotional energy to keep the words flowing.
Creative rituals like this can help tune us in with the energy of the soul and open to the Muse within. She is always there for us when we reach in to connect.
Right now, she is taking me through something BIG.
I suspect you’re going through something big right now too. It’s a big time!
Writing is a big part of my self-healing process.
Are you ready to go on a BIG journey of creation with me and my muse? Well, buckle up friends. I’ll be sharing more as we go. The last few years have been pre-production phase, complex and sometimes frustrating preparations for my first book. My muse helps me learn what I need to learn. She shows me when I’m off track.
The initial play-it-safe idea was to write a book on energy healing. But I’ve already done that in the form of my courses and programs. Time for something new to emerge.
Plus when I started writing that energy healing book, I just kept feeling stiff. The project was stale and lacking. My wild creative self felt stifled. So I let the book idea go back to the Universe for further refinement.
Divine timing always wins.
Then, the fire came back last year when I embarked on a book writing course to help coax this baby into conception. After working through that process, completing a commissioned painting, then hiring a writing consultant to meet with me once a month to keep my book project on track, we have LIFT OFF of the writing process!
At last! The vision is clear. 🚀
Now, it’s up to me to carpe diem. No matter the weather, or emotional ups and downs, this window of destiny is wide open right now and I intend to fly through. This takes dedication.
Dancing, Arting, and Writing the Soul’s Voice
This book is quintessetially, ME, a hybrid. In fact my artist name for a while was “Muse Hybrid.” So, I am resurrecting her to help me to dig deep and express even more fully.
My hybrid book is about how the creative act of connecting with our spiritual nature heals the wounded heart. It honors, celebrates, inspires, and guides.
There are stories from my own self-healing journey. There are processes and practices, meditations and transmissions. In fact, during the process of outlining its contents, some deeper wounding resurfaced for me. I had to pause for a bit and tend to those needs before I could get back to writing again.
They say writing your story, sharing it with the world, is a healing process. This is true. It was during art school days ‘03-’07 that I found this out. I went deep into the healing journey during those four years, using my art to process the pain and confusion through explorations in consciousness.
There is profound healing power in writing poetic prose, letters to the body and other parts of self, stories about dreams; then translating them into spoken word, music, videos, prints, and performances.
My first book is a guided healing journey
Readers will experience a beautiful process of multidimensional healing. I’m so excited to share this book with you all!
Will write another update next month to let you know how it’s coming along.
Happy new moon!
I’ll be coccooning on the solar eclipse day, April 8th. Letting the intense energies integrate on a deep soul level. I feel there is much to receive during this cosmic event.
Sending a strong pulse of LOVE into the collective field.
See you on the other side. Ciao for now.
Sending peace to all, Love to All.

PS,
For fun, here a few of my projects from the old art school days. I loved making these creations.
