I look forward to drawing with you next week.; ▶ Reply to This

I am working in my studio this afternoon and thinking of what a wonderful experience I had there last year. You can be sure that I will be following along, drawing, and connecting with you all spiritually. Blessings.

While working in the garden today, I kept finding my heart and my thoughts drawn to the
Gathering and wishing I were there.
May the Creatrix bring this Sacred Gathering to new and profound depths of soul-expression
through Her gift of "touch"!

Blessings and hugs to you and Suzanne Fageol - and those whom I met during the
Gathering of 2007...

With love,

I got up early this day to draw in my studio (before my grandbabies were awake). Sitting quietly at my board and allowing that deep, safe place to open. To my surprise... anger, hurt, irritation, sadness came bubbling to the surface. "No...no, no, no !!!" I said... "I want to feel and express only happy, peaceful stuff in this short drawing session... come on... give me a break here... where is the love, man? Aaaarrrgh!"

Ha! Silly me! Sometimes I forget that all my emotions are important... all need to be recognized. The energy of each needs to be acknowledged and released. To insist that I will only feel pleasant emotions means I'm blocking the pathway to my heart.

Touch Drawing is path that always leads me to what I am seeking... it's a journey to my heart...
I take a deep breath this morning and invite all of you to trust your emotions today... all of them.
Allow them to flow freely this week and your hearts will come shinning thru.

Loving you all!; ▶ Reply to This
