I can't believe it's been over 3 1/2 years since I've added to this blog! In a nutshell, looking back, I allowed others to discourage me from my true passion, which is, and always will be, fine art. I never completely stopped, but I gave up on the inside. When so much of our time … Continue reading Back in the Game

Staying Creative
Greetings, Light Beings! While my creative efforts have been focused more on writing lately, I have really really missed my art. I took advantage of the week-long break in my grad school schedule to finish a couple of paintings. I see the mood in both of them as more fantasy-like, less strictly realistic. I'd like … Continue reading Staying Creative

Even after editing, I'm still at over 6600. I've got some extensive editing ahead of me. But, as challenging as … Continue reading Managing One’s Spiritual Vibration During The Creative Process
No Excuses!

This person figured that if they just changed their circumstances, they would be better off. As we talked, it turned out that they had not done any preparation, didn’t practice, didn’t … Continue reading No Excuses!
