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.ContinueContinue reading “Does Inner Child Artist Oracle do what I say it does?”

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.

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.

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’.

I wrote my Dad’s obituary! 😭
Being the first born child sucks ass! Not only did I arrange for my Dad’s cremation today, I was also appointed as planner of his Celebration of Life and also as writer of his obituary. I only recorded it so that I could type it quickly without looking back-and-forth at my little piece of paper.ContinueContinue reading “I wrote my Dad’s obituary! 😭”
Art therapy is the shit, (if anything is at this point…)
The practice sketches I was working on when my dad died. I decided to finish the artwork, rather than toss it. On the evening of my dad’s death, I was drawing.

What I drewContinueContinue reading “Art therapy is the shit, (if anything is at this point…)”

Tarot Embodiment
