Who doesn’t like honey! When Honey Bear went to the river today, he found part of a honey comb that had fallen from the Honey Tree! What a score! As the bees buzzed around him trying to get it back, he grabbed it and off he ran! Soon he slowed down and started snacking, not […]

STRANGE PLANET
Recently, as we spoke on the phone, a non-artist friend asked me where I get my ideas from. I told him, from photos I’ve taken, from nature, from words I hear that give me a feeling and an image, from memories, from dreams – Then he asked, what would you see, first thing, if you […]
SURELY, FISH KNOWS THE WAY
I’m not an adherent of any recognizable religion – my folks never went to church, so I never got the classic religious conditioning many kids did in the 50s when I grew up. But I did have a few pretty traumatizing events happen in my teens that made me keenly aware of my mortality. By […]
THE BALANCE
The Balance is the 2-ton piece I carved at the Oamaru International Limestone Sculpture Symposium I was invited to participate in when I was Artist-in-Residence in Gore, New Zealand. I felt so fortunate to be a part of that symposium! Me, a little 55-year old funky sculptor from the US – whoddathunkit! But choose me […]
IN MY WINDOW
After I got back to the States from New Zealand in 2002, I was filled with gratitude to be back in Hawaii again. I wanted to do a bunch of paintings celebrating the culture, and yet not be blatant, touristy-looking hawaiiana-ized. This was the first of the series. Each one was underpainted in various colors, […]
THE REAL USE OF DEPRESSION
Depression is a sneaky bastard. I have experienced it all my life, and because I didn’t know how to handle it, I was even suicidal for years … until 20 years ago when I found EFT, the Emotional Freedom Techniques (in case you’re wondering, find out about it here). As I began to use EFT, […]
KO’OLINA
I read an article recently that brought back vivid memories of when I first came to Maui, in 1966. My BF at the time and I were flat broke, and had no place to stay. So we went down to the beach just to the north of LaHaina, and found a secluded patch of trees […]
LEARNING to LOVE MYSELF NO MATTER WHAT
I’m not sure why everyone thinks they need to write about the current happenings (referring to the wave of black people being killed by cops and unmarked special ops troops). Yes, it is horrifying. Yes, I detest it, just as you do. But it’s not as if any of us are ‘experts’ or even come […]
INTO THE LIGHT
When I came back to Hawaii in 2002, it was a very scary time for me. I had almost no money, so I had to take a job. The only one I could find was pushing time share brochures into people’s hands as they walked along on the streets of Waikiki. 7 hours a day, […]
DEER PRAYER
In late 1999, I was house-sitting for some friends in Tesuque, NM. (pronounced tess-OO-kee) It was bloody cold – maybe you don’t know this, but Santa Fe is 7000′ above sea level, and Tesuque is a bit higher. There was snow that morning; my blankies weren’t sufficient, and being naturally a tropical gal, I was […]
My Heart Is Broken
I see the world in terms of the Heart – what other way is there to view it if we are to remain at all sane? It has to be the very fundamental core of everything. Sometimes as I read news items, my heart feels like it’s being ripped and slashed out of me by […]
Time to Raise Your Prices!
Last weekend, I went down to the local art center where about 50 artists run a coop gallery so I could sign up for the Open Studios Art Tour. I was pleased to see some pretty good work there. And surprised at one painting in particular. This painting was about 11″ x 14″ – good […]
Change Your Mind! with EFT: the Basics –
I’ve gone over and revised my Signature EFT book, Change Your Mind with EFT, the Basics. When I revised it, I was frankly amazed at how good it is! I expected to have to change and update a whole lot of stuff in it, but all I did was rewrite a few sentences and reformat […]
COLOR: Special Collector’s Edition
Celebrating! My first hard-cover collector’s edition of my abstract paintings is finally out! This is huge for me! Huge! I’m so very excited about it! I’m adding pix of a whole bunch of pages below to let you see how I’ve taken the alcohol inks, which are featured in this book, in many directions. I […]
Do You Allow Your Inner Guidance?
Have you ever wanted to keep doing something you love, but it just seemed like something was in the way? I’ve felt like that. I couldn’t figure out what what to do. Finally, I made a very simple, very powerful decision: that I’d let my intuition and connection to Spirit guide me more than ever. […]
Did You Get Your FREE Book yet?
The Real Money Secrets is a book I created several years ago as a spoof on all the weird, funny and wacky ways people strive to get more money. I decided to update and republish it because, at the very least, it was make you laugh, helping you make your day a little lighter. And […]
Twisted Tales Book #2 is out!
The Big Bad Wolf Steals the Magic I’m so excited to announce that book #2 in the Twisted Tales series, The Big Bad Wolf Steals the Magic, is now ready in print on Amazon.com and also on the Kindle! I just got my copies in the mail today, and they look gorgeous – nice white […]
Do You Speak UP?
“How Do You Speak Up Fearlessly?” I’ve been speaking up a lot on Facebook about the recent situation in Indiana where war has pretty much been declared on gay people. They are trying to instigate a new law there saying that it’s OK for businesses to discriminate against and not serve gay people. I received […]
Courage, Clarity & Confidence
What happens when you lack courage? You think about what you’d like to do…but then you just cave in and don’t do it, right? Repeatedly. And then you wonder why you aren’t where you want to be in your life or business. Opportunities that would allow you more freedom and prosperity flow by you every […]
I Posted, “I Need A Hug!” and Got over 10
Do you ask for what you want … and get it? Last week I had a pretty big upset about something. It ran very deep, and made me feel like I wanted to just pop out of my skin and run away and hide. But I’m one of the lucky ones! I have a lovely […]
Wish You Had Someone Who’d Listen to You
That’s me. I’ll absolutely do that for you! I’m really good at it, because I really care about you and want you to succeed – whatever that personally means for you. And I have this amazing (even to me!) knack of being able to see how you can do things better in your life, emotions, […]
I’m Back! Retiring Ain’t All It’s Cracked
Many years ago, my dad, who was a sought-after executive recruiter in New York City, retired at the age of 65. (Yup, he really did wear bow-ties – and tied them himself – none of those cheater clip on things!) At first, he loved all that time on his hands! He spent hours in his […]
Do You Know How to Use the Secret Mirror?
If you have ever felt like you just didn’t have it in you to do something (like marketing your work!), and dithered along believing that you just couldn’t do it, or didn’t want to even try – for months! years! – here’s something that will help. Recently I was turned on to Dr. Joe Vitale’s […]
The Pleiadian Protocol to Reduce Excess B...
Have you ever had a long spell of feeling really great, and then, completely out of the blue, one day you wake up almost in panic, or extreme distress? That’s what happened to me last week, with a very deeply felt personal worry. Even tapping only went so far to get me any relief. Just […]
Published! YES: How to Get What You Want!
I’m very stoked to announce that my new book, YES: How to Get What You Want! is published both in print and as eBooks! This is one of the funnest books I’ve ever written – full of reminders of how to stay centered and present, and the formula with the simple steps you can take any […]

I’ve been wanting to make the Land of Ammaze series of images into a book for 15 years, and finally, it’s done! They are available both in print and as eBooks. I’m so pleased with […]
Are You Exhausted, Brain-Fogged, Procrast...
During the weeks I was flat with pneumonia recently, I had a hard time putting one thought after the next. I didn’t even feel like reading. Now that’s not me at all – you KNOW how much I love to read! I’m used to having a razor-sharp mind, and I hated feeling so muzzy and […]
No More Living Life Like a Zombie!
How do you go about announcing that you feel like you’re coming back from the land of the almost-dead? Well. Maybe that says it! See, five years ago, I had two near-fatal internal organ failures. I got into surgery by the skin of my teeth, and somehow I am still here today to be grateful […]

Who Do You Know Who Is Suffering Needless...
Who Do You Know Who Is Suffering Needlessly? I bet you know at least one person who’s fighting anger, depression, irritability, nightmares and unwanted memories. Maybe a vet, or a public service person from any arm of the military, police, coast guard or fire department. Maybe someone who’s been abused, gone through any kind of […]
