Some people dream in regular, life-looks-like-this imagery. I dream in color, black and white, and many times, in cartoon. Not Daffy Duck cartoon, more like stick-figurey kind of cartoon. Last night I dreamt I had these amazing hands that exuded hearts of love and softness and peace and healing where ever I aimed them. If […]

In MY GARDEN
Well, I don’t really have a garden – I have pots of plants that struggle through our hot, dry days and straggle their long fingers into the pathway across my front stoop. But I love them, even if they are funky looking! One day I shall have a real garden again! So in this design, […]
I’M BACK AGAIN!
Remember I said I’d found a pickle recipe? I had to try it! Annnnd, you know how I said I was going off social media so I could focus on my book series? I lasted a week – but couldn’t help cheating a couple days at the end. I know, Bad Me. So sue me. […]
BE KIND
The biggest test of late is this: no matter what happens, can you maintain your equilibrium? Can you remain detached enough from the swirling energy and emotions around you that you can make good choices? Be kind, even in the face of something distasteful? One mis-choice of words or actions can ripple down through years […]
BIRDIES IN LOVE
Sometimes I feel so completely bowled over by life that I just can’t come up with an uplifting story for the art. Today was one of those days, so I decided to create a design that cheered me up – and it does, thank goodness. I’m seeing it as used in a quilt, or maybe […]
HORSE-LOVE
Lately an odd thing has been happening. Usually I have plenty to tell you about. But lately I have found that there are times I don’t have a story for a design I create – it’s just an alive thing and full of love, waiting for people to see and enjoy it. I love horses. […]
MAKING MAGICK AT MIDNIGHT
Yesterday I told you how I found out about transforming the perpetual, unrelenting pain in my back into mere background noise, rather than full-front, attention-grabbing annoyance and agony. Simply by wishing blessings upon it. And then upon all of me. And then upon others. And other things. And other places. And the whole planet. And […]
PLANT A WORLD TREE
I find solace from the woes of the human world by being in nature. Even if it’s only standing on my door stoop, taking time to take breaths of not-house air. I’m reminded today about the first time I did that – stood out on my stoop, just breathing in the lovely clean sea-air of […]
LET’S HAVE A PICNIC UNDER the TREE of LOV
What are we waiting for? I’ll get the blanket and the food basket, you get the drinks, and I’ll meet you out under the tree! It’s a lovely day, not too hot, not too chilly – just right to sit around and nosh on our favorite sandwiches (and chocolates!), and climb trees and pick flowers […]
KITTY LOVE UNDER the MOON
A long time ago, I had a friend who had two kitties who loved each other. She found them soaking wet and freezing in a turned-over garbage bin in back of a store she worked at. She took them home and nurtured them back to health. These cats ate, slept, went for walks with their […]
TIME TO GET HORIZONTAL
Three goodies for you today! I have so many designs just sitting in little folders on my desktop, each one begging me to let it come to the light and be seen! So today you get not one, not two, but three! Sometimes ya just hafta relax. Or dance. Or sit by the river and […]
MA’S GARDEN
I didn’t want to write this. I’ve been back and forth, afraid to post it. But I have this feeling I Have To. Know what I mean? Not for me, but for Someone Out There. I hope it somehow brings you peace, whoever you are. So to preface the story: It’s been a hair less […]
RED SINGS the BLUES
In an argument with my son a few days before I left Hawaii to live in California at the end of 2018, he asked me if I had ever had myself checked for mental illness. I was so shaken by the question I had no cogent reply. Looking back on my life, however, I can […]
COMFORT? Or CANOODLING?
Which would you name it? At first I thought, “Comfort.” But then as I looked at it more, it seemed like “Canoodling” would be a better name. What do you think? I had originally intended it to be totally hot, sizzling, and erotic. But as I drew it out and added color, it became sweeter […]
BAAAAAAAAH!
Today I saw a shorty little video on FB by a gal who has a bunch of farm animals that bonded to her and follow her along like dogs – including turkeys, goats and sheep, and even a deer! Halfway through the video, one of the sheep – thick with a year’s worth of wool […]
MY NEW BOOK!
A few weeks ago, I was approached by a not-so-very-well-known company that prints books, art prints and other arty products. They wanted me to submit a book of images for them to print. The deal was they’d give me $150 off the printing price in exchange for a review. I’m thinking, “Huh? 150 bucks? Who […]
THE EVOLUTION of A PASTEL PAINTING
I’ve been asked how I do these pastel paintings. I do them in three main stages. First comes the idea, sketched roughly in black ink on a little scrap of paper. Then, I prepare a bigger sheet of paper or art board with a special gesso primer that has marble dust in it, so it’s […]
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. […]
My New Book Is Out!
Harlyn and Griffyn Get Lost I’m so excited to announce that my new book is now ready in print on Amazon.com and also on the Kindle! I just got my copies today, and they look gorgeous – nice white paper and crispy clear brilliant colors. Woohoo! What’s it about? Harlyn and Griffyn, twin brother and […]

Are You Intending to Create More Passive ...

“How DARE You Call Me A Dead Weight?”
I sent out an email to my list yesterday, asking people for feedback and input on issues they wanted to solve. At the end, I wrote this: “…if you’re not willing to put yourself out and do something for yourself, to invest in yourself, to take a risk, to learn something new, to get some […]
Interviewed Today by Malinda Zarate at Em...
I was so pleased to have been interviewed today by Malinda Zarate of EmboldenedHeart.com. She invites guests every month who she feels contributes to the invisible, energetic growth of our planet – what an honor to have been invited! We had great fun, and I got to talk about how I finally conquered my 35-year-long […]

THE MONEY TAPPING GROUP Part III: Uncover and Clear Out the Limiting Vows in your Heart Chakra…so you can have more freedom, fun and prosperity, and delight in sending out more just-plain-flat-out beautiful Heart Radiance! Maybe you can you relate to this: “Sometimes I do something, think it’s great…and then later look at it and […]
What Are 2nd Chakra Vows?
Think of the 2nd Chakra as a level of consciousness. Whereas the 1st Chakra is all about your environment (everything you can physically feel) and your tribe, the 2nd Chakra, right in the groin area, is more fluid; the energy of it should be flowing naturally in and out of it easily. The 2nd Chakra […]
ATTACKED!
I made a comment on a post on facebook the other day to which someone took HUGE exception. She replied calling me names, making accusations, etc. What I know about accusation is this: it tells me more about what a person is afraid of than it says anything at all about me. The person who […]
Have You Been Asked, “Why Are You Not Pla
Ponder this: How many times have you seen an email or video or website that tells you you ‘need to play bigger,’ or have a bigger business? I’ve said it myself. But it’s getting old. What if I don’t want to ‘play bigger’? I believe that you and I should be able to live the […]
Thanks for Helping Me Choose Images for T...
A couple of weeks ago, I asked you to please help me decide which images were your top five to use over the holidays. I literally have hundreds of images to choose from, so it’s sometimes hard for me to choose, and as the artist, I tend to have my favorites – which, as I […]
Help Me Choose Images for Holiday and New...
This year, I’m having five images of my artwork printed for holiday cards. (The image you see at the left is one image I pre-ordered to see how it looks – it’s awesome!) It sounds early to think of that, but it takes time to: 1. get them printed 2. have them sent to me […]
Say NO to ‘too busy’
Have you ever wanted to write someone, but it just wasn’t Time yet? That’s what this entire last month since I wrote my last newsletter has been like for me. I’ve wanted to write, but each time I sat down and started, nothing would come. Nothing! I’ve been writing long enough to know what that’s […]
