My husband admitted to having an emotional affair with a colleague at work, after initially lying about it. As an INFJ Empath, I knew he lied because I sensed the moment that he pulled away, and that was actually years ago. But this recent incident has been since January, right around my birthday, and hasContinue reading “Breakups are lame. Divorces are even lamer.”

Yep. It is what it is. And gravity is everything.
Trigger Warning:I’m just giving you guys a heads up that there is change coming and if I’m not on here, I’m just taking care of it quietly. But shit is changing. ♥️ I have been spiraling, literally, into a darkness that I’m just fucking tired of going into, without a flashlight and an atlas. IContinue reading “Yep. It is what it is.

Inner Child Artist Oracle is prepared to go live! But does it do what I say it does?
To be perfectly honest, this project has given me more than I could’ve hoped for. Over the four years that it took to create, (avoidance, maybe?!?), I healed so many past traumas, many of which were beyond my own conscious awareness. I’m happy to say that I’m not the girl that started this project anymore.Continue reading “Inner Child Artist Oracle is prepared to go live! But does it do what I say it does?”

How Inner Child Artist Oracle Came To Be: The Progression of the Process is Sticky Sometimes
The deck started out small, and was meant for personal use only, but it transformed itself many times as I went along. It soon became huge and MESSY!!! And that is OK, as the process for creating it felt huge and messy. There was lots of scribbling and mistakes and I didn’t always like theContinue reading “How Inner Child Artist Oracle Came To Be: The Progression of the Process is Sticky Sometimes”

The Inner Child Artist Oracle Kickstarter is starting on Feb 10, 2023, Y’all!
It has taken me four years to complete this awesome deck, using my non-dominant hand! Talk about HARD, but so worth it. Why do inner child work? Well, because… “No one is coming to save you, but it is not because you are unloved. To the contrary: You are so revered, so adored, so magnificent,Continue reading “The Inner Child Artist Oracle Kickstarter is starting on Feb 10, 2023, Y’all!”

Atlas is so #shilosatlas
Just a month with a professional Mustang trainer, and look at my smart and willing wilding! I was so nervous to see him, afraid that what “those people” said about him (reactive and volatile) was true (even though I knew it wasn’t!) and what they said about me… (I can’t handle him). How and whyContinue reading “Atlas is so #shilosatlas”

So Nervous!
I get to see my Mustang yearling today for the first time since June 1st, when I took him to a locally known professional Mustang trainer. Finally. It costs a lot, but he’s worth every penny! We’ve had a rough start. I allowed other people to tell me what I was capable of doing onContinue reading “So Nervous!”

Dude, this is happening!
I have to finish editing 22 stories in the guidebook for Inner Child Artist Oracle. The stories are from my inner child’s perspective, and some of them are not easy to write, and even harder to read. We all have our stories. So this is me, wearing my heart on my sleeve, as I’m sharingContinue reading “Dude, this is happening!”

Losing Her
I am so very heartbroken. It’s all bad guys. When I went out to feed this morning, Calypso was unresponsive and she had white stuff leaking from her nose. I grabbed a halter and called the emergency vet. I made her walk around the yard, she didn’t want to move much, but she never laidContinue reading “Losing Her”

Inner Child Artist: WIP!
Are you happy? Were you happy as a child? Do you know how to be truly happy? 🥰 Emotions are intrinsic, and must be created from within. Happiness is something you become. It can’t be found in other people, in relationships, in travel, in work, or in luxury belongings… Happiness is something that you mustContinue reading “Inner Child Artist: WIP!”

Inner Child Artist
Y’all… I have been working on an oracle deck called Inner Child Artist since early 2018. I got the promo deck on the day my father passed. Needless to say, I had to put it down for a while until my heart could handle it again. I miss my dad so much! It’s hurts toContinue reading “Inner Child Artist”

Am I a witch?
Yes, my husband saved the dried herbs from the garden for my “spells.” Yes, my friend brought me potion bottles yesterday. Yes, I make candles that smell (and are named) like weed scents. Yes, I can capture your soul with my paintbrush. Yes, I have also been known to help your children hone their artisticContinue reading “Am I a witch?”

Astro Taking Over!
But why do I have an interest in astrology anyways? It is something about the stars. I love to think that our personalities are predetermined by the constellations. Much of what I’ve learned about my own natal chart has been so important in my discoveries of who I am. It has been a life-long process,Continue reading “Astro Taking Over!”

Let’s Play Catch Up…
2020 has been fucking eventful, to say the very least. It has been nothing short of dramatic; that much is true! We bought our first home and moved into it in mid- March, the very same day we were both laid off of work due to the Coronavirus pandemic. It has been very stressful, butContinue reading “Let’s Play Catch Up…”

Drawing is the perfect distraction!
What in the hell would I do, on those days when my head spins and spins with shit I can’t control, without art to distract me? I would definitely be on lock down somewhere, just sayin’. It’s also a good reminder. We can thank God for our creativity on the days when we can’t findContinue reading “Drawing is the perfect distraction!”
