"She Dreams of Flying"

"She Dreams of Flying" homage to Leonardo da Vinci

She dreams of flying and riding the unseen currents with ease. Without resistance or doubt, she allows the currents to lift her over mountain tops and shimmering lakes. She dreams of flying and awakens to an uplifting day.

Tender Heart Drawing

She Sees Your Tender Heart

She sees you as you truly are--a vast being of light, brilliant like a gem in the sun. She invites you to imagine sitting with a group. Mirrors are passed to each of you. You hold the mirror before your neighbor, as you tell them: “I see your brilliance! It’s time for you to shine your light for all to see!” Then hand the mirror to your neighbor for them to acknowledge your brilliance.

When that is done, take a moment to connect with your mentors—human, animal, angel, and spirit. They form a circle of light around you. Remember, they are here to offer their love and support. They whisper in your ear, tap your heart, and awaken your power to live as soul and lead from your tender heart. Within their circle of love, your life is enriched. Your potential unfolds like a rose in full bloom.

She Wears the Rose

She wears the rose as a crown. The sacred spiral is an ancient symbol throughout time. The Blessed Mother bears its scent.  Royalty bears its name. She wears the rose and feels its expansion in her every cell.

Not bestowed by birth, but by choice, she wears the rose as a crown.

Wonder Drawing

She Is Full of Wonder

My grandmother lived 94 years. She taught me that some people age like leather—brittle and stiff. Other people are like my grandmother; they become translucent like fabric swinging in the breeze. All their dark, hard parts have blown away. They are left soft and supple without resistance to the energies that flow all around. They are old, yet their heart is full of wonder.

The Sacred Circle Drawing

The Sacred Circle

To the women who sat by the fire under an ancient sky, life was a circle. Not a straight line like an arrow. Life was like a hoop, a belly with child, or the moon with its full face. They saw life as a circle. One stage led to the next without beginning or end. Every new stage was as valuable as the last, and as precious as the next.
