What a journey with the #artistsway! It’s my first time finishing it in its entirety, and I’m so grateful for my fellow companion and friend on the journey, @beatrixdoree ❤️ Fear is popping up BIG time, as fear does when you’re suddenly clear about all the creations you know it’s time to bring into the world! Oh my it’s been intense. (Though in my experience, if it doesn’t scare the bejeezus out of you, you aren’t making much of a leap.) 🌱 My impromptu prayer I’ll share with you all: 🌱 May I face down the fears and see them as shadow memories only, seeking light and release. May I leave them in my dust as I fly —not unlike this little bird at Panera! 😂 🕊🕊 #artistsway #faceyourart #bringthelight #creativepath #artistsoninstagram #inspiration #bethelight #goodbyefear #timetofly

No more clowning around! It’s time to leap! Sometimes the messages I get from spirit are so literal it’s not even funny. 😆 Photo of me yesterday with some Ringling clowns at the Ringling museum in Sarasota, Florida. Such a cool complex; or “palace” as my daughter called it! More pics to come! The frog is from this morning on my lanai. Name: unknown. Cuteness factor: through the (lanai) roof 🐸 #justfollowthejoy #messagesfromspirit #timetoleap #courage #leap #momswhomeditate #creativity #makersgonnamake #spiritualpath #artistsway #createsomethingnew #makesomethingnew #frogsofinstagram

You have everything you need!! That’s the message folks! Take for instance this little garden. For YEARS since we bought our house I was all, “oh how wonderful it would be to have a magical little zen space here instead of overgrown weeds and invasive toads!” And then one day recently I was like, I AM MAKING MY DAMN GARDEN TODAY! [as one says in the making of a zen garden lol.]. So....I hauled out all the crappy weeds and mulch, scared out some toads 🐸(for real), repurposed some paver stones *we already had*, took some plants and statutes and wind chimes *we already had*, made a trip to garden store and spent maybe $35 on pea stones, and boom. Done! You guys...Years spent thinking about this silly little garden! 🤦‍♀️And I had everything I needed right in front of me. 🌟 Can you relate? Can you get out of your own way and making the fucking zen garden already? So to speak! You probably most definitely have what you need. P.s. anyone want some large invasive toads?? 🐸😂 #geterdone #youhaveeverythingyouneed #simplicity #zengarden #getoutofyourownway #mindfulness #gratitudeattitude #momswhomeditate #manifestation #makingthefuckingzengardenalready #justfollowthejoy #joy

Oh girl its time to shine your light already! Whats the holdup? You got gifts to share. Let’s do this! . #joy #spirituality #justfollowthejoy #awakening #divinefeminine #inspiration #creativity #meditation #sisterhood #courage #knowthyself #momswhomeditate #mindfulness #brave

Hi all! I figured I’d share a selfie because: 1) I got my hair cut and it never looks this good! (Summer has arrived in Florida and with it my very poofy hair 😂). But 2) I also have to share with you my excitement!! I feel like maybe, just maybe, all this time following my breadcrumb trails, following joy and following myself home, is slowly weaving together to form a story! Like, all the random detours and meanderings had purpose (imagine that!) 😮 😁 I’ll write more soon about where it’s leading me, but just know I’m cooking up some fun projects related to my art and writing that I can’t wait to share with you. In the meantime I wanted to say if you feel like you are on a journey where you can only see two feet in front of you, keep the faith. I believe in you! It might be too soon to see the big picture but you will when it’s time. ❤️ 💪 Now...back to enjoying not looking like Marge from the Simpsons. Swipe right to see what that looks like! Lol!!! ☀️ 🌞 #justfollowthejoy #joy #creativepath #artistsway #loveyourself #awakening #selflove #yougotthis #artistsoninstagram

Me on the phone just now with my husband: “Hey hon, sorry I got so angry earlier when you were pointing out how flaky I can be with details. Maybe it hit a little too close to home...” Husband: “ya think?!” Me: “anyway I was calling because I can’t find the French press! I looked in every cupboard!” Husband: “It’s right in front of you on the kitchen counter.” Pause. “Just own it, hon.” 🤦‍♀️😂 ✌🏻 #scatterbrain #vatadosha #headintheclouds #ownit #creatives #creativespirit #justfollowthejoy #frenchpressmornings #coffeetime☕ #vataproblems
