A Beauty in Her Time

“She Was a Beauty in Her Time”

From birth to death, we were entwined. I inhaled my mother’s last breath as if it were my first.  At times, my mother was my nemesis.  At other times, she was my savior.  She was a very attractive woman with her own quirky style.  There were years when I could not or would not extend my forgiveness.  Years later, I was filled with gratitude so deep I could not remember the grievance once unforgiven.  At the end of her life, in her frail and funny days, the story rewrote itself; the pain evaporated leaving a story simply entitled, “Love”.

My blessing for you: May you loosen your grasp around grievances, whether justified or imagined. May you pull out a box of watercolors or pastel sticks and color your story the way you want to see it.

“She Hides Her Light No More”

“She Hides Her Light No More” 

You can find her in the streets, on the stage, in the boardroom, on the field, and in the director’s chair.  Her light shines through wherever she goes.  It goes with her—no—it is her essence.  Her body is merely a container for the light until she no longer needs to be contained.

She sends a blessing to every light-filled human of every gender: May you discover the light you are.  May this discovery light up your life with purpose and passion.  And may your light illuminate all aspects of your life that are ready to evolve.  May you be supported and encouraged on your path all of your days.

New Mixed-Media

“Her Beloved Provides” Her body, a gift from her Beloved, is an earthly container for her soul. Her Beloved provides all she needs and does not judge her requests.  She might ask for a healing, a bracelet, a house by the pond, or cash in her purse. As there is no limit to her beloved’s capacity, no gift diminishes the gifts available to others.  Her Beloved loves all equally the way the Moon loves the stars.  Her Beloved provides to the extent that she can receive and she knows she is loved.

She offers you a blessing: May you feel the support and love that is available for the asking.  May you acknowledge that all you require is provided, for you too, are beloved.

Letter to the Universe

Dear Universe, this is my time.  After a life of service—comforting lost children and leading families home, I’m ready.  This is my time.  I’m grateful for all the opportunities to be of service—at deathbeds, counseling rooms, and empty houses.  I loved it all.  I especially remember visiting orphans in their foster homes and holding them in my arms. At those times, I felt angels hovering over my shoulder and I knew it was you.

Now I’m ready to release all limits.  I send a blessing to myself: May I inhabit the heart of a hummingbird, who sees the world as a giant garden offering sustenance for the asking.

Dear Universe, it is my time.  I’m ready to receive.  I ask now.

New Mixed Media Portrait

“Her Face Speaks Volumes” Her beauty opens doors.  Her soul does the talking.  She has learned to let her face speak—connect with whom she chooses and reject those with whom she is not aligned.  While her face is young, her soul is not so much.  She has seen armies come and go, conflict reach critical mass.  She knows the side on which she stands.  She stands for peace.  She marches for love, the only cause worth living for.

She offers you a blessing: May you discover what you stand for, the cause that keeps your blood flowing. May you ignite your life with meaning and let your face, words, and actions speak volumes.

New on Yupo

“She Is Ready to Be Blessed” by a world that works in her favor. #oneness She tells a story that she chooses to live—young men open doors, traffic pauses for her crossing, geese honk hello…  She acknowledges every way she is supported and supplied from the scone when she is hungry, to the kind word when she doubts. She is ready to be blessed.  In her readiness, she sets the stage for her receiving.

She offers you a message: May you anticipate blessings. May you acknowledge even the smallest of gifts that your capacity to receive may grow as grass in Summer.

The Light Within

“She Imitates Twilight” and carries the warmth and color of the day with her.  No matter the circumstances of her evening, the light is with her, in her, providing comfort and guidance.  In truth, she is the light and can never be lost or alone.

She brings you a blessing: May you find your own light, ablaze within you, eternal, constant like a beacon guiding you to safe harbor.
