I taught today. Sandtray Therapy with stellar healers. With all that is happening, I thought I might be soul tired. That their fire was out. Or mine.

It wasn’t.

We built community today. We reactivated hope today. We cried & loved. Rally, friends. We can. We must. We WILL. #resist #healingsky

Waking up to realize my kiddos finished the last of the coffee (but forgot to tell me) = DoorDash Dunkin times. But what a treat to get a handwritten kindness note. With names and everything. I needed this today. Thank you Kobey-blessings in return. May it be so.

Sweet friends, as I spend time in what I call “The Hush”..my seasonal time of stillness, reflection and tending, I send love to all who are bearing enormous pain and stress. Our recent ice storm captured that energy.

I wish you the strength of these trees even when under the weight of the storm.

My true wish for the next year is for each of you to find your magic, & for it to reveal itself to you.

Your magic is your voice, your voice is your power, & your power is your alignment with your most authentic soul version.

Hey dears, taking a rest today to just putter& play. Intuitively made some very simple Divine Feminine resilience candles as my sacred creativity.Lavender clippings & winter roses from my garden said “yes” to the intention to bring Yule light to my fellow mystical ones. #artadventcalendar #witchsky

So this is a really special artwork I created which is not my typical practice, but SO fun. I made this goddess tree for my Expressive Arts Healing Center and I am simply enchanted with her. Will be adding more branches this week, but I decided to share her for the #artadventcalendar today.

Me too, Quincy, me too. #caturday

#ArtAdventCalendar I don’t usually share my art, and eek, it feels a little vulnerable to put this out there. But today, I’m walking through some of my mixed media journaling pages and canvases. This piece honors the journey of seeing into your Shadow—and letting it see you back. #artsky #Jung

Good morning all!! A super cold morning for us here in my state! 23 degrees and our geese friends have come home to the little pond.

It is the first time I have ever seen them walking on ice here and I think they were surprised too!

Self-replenishment goes deeper than self-care. It’s not just bubble baths—it’s nourishing your soul, body, and spirit in ways that sustain you. To resist, to create, to fight for what matters, we must refill ourselves. What truly replenishes you? Find it. Claim it. Make space for it.Photo Credit: Me

My daughter sent this to me - this feels like my mystical self walking through the shadows of this life, attempting to leave light in my path while forging through the darkness.

It’s 4:37 EST, and the shadows grow, appropriately resonant with my current work on Shadow Work with teens. My familiars—the trio of best friends—sleep in harmony. Moments later, Sunny, their golden bestie, joins. I couldn’t resist capturing this. My heart is so full. #petsofbluesky #witchsky

I got the “squinchy face” on camera lol! Well, mostly. This is our Sunny girl, who loves with her whole body. She fully closes her eyes when she hugs us & also runs to us with, “squinchy” face, reserved for times when she is just extra happy &affectionate. It is the sweetest thing. #dogsofbluesky

When kids move through an Expressive Arts program, they leave a note and an image in a book for those coming after. This was from last night, translated:

“It is ok to get the tears out and to make sadness. So we do that for awhile and then we can get up and play again”.

This is for ALL of us.

I’ve been here only a few days and have them every time lol. Being visible is not easy after..the other place. Love your doggo. Here’s my girl.

Hello, beautiful souls! I’m feeling incredibly grateful for the warm welcome & engagement here—thank you! I’m looking forward to connecting, learning, & building true friendships. Now, more than ever, we need safe, genuine community, & I hope to be a haven & a warrior for democracy alongside you all

Sunny, my radiant girl and future therapy dog, is sending golden greetings to all under these blue skies! May her morning smile bring a little light to yours. #goldenretriever #therapydog #traumatherapy
