“Nurse! Hand me the scalpel, please, it’s 9:00 and my dinner is waiting!” Nurse hands scalpel to doctor, and my first live birth, my first son, Aaron, comes screaming out into the ice-cold delivery room air. “Nothing wrong with the lungs on that one!” the doc declares, as he rises from his chair, gloved hands […]

MAKING LOVE UNDER THE SLINKY STARS
I met my second hubby in Big Sur. I had been working at Dancer, Fitzgerald and Sample in San Francisco as a junior art director. My very conservative boss, Sam, had a firm hold on the department. Despite the restraints, my co-workers and I spent our days rocking out to the Beatles, the Stones, Van […]
2-YEAR TRUCKABOUT
In the mid-80s, I had been living in Kailua, on Oahu, in Hawaii. I had a nice house, drove a Volvo station wagon, had a simple carving studio, enough to eat…but I was unhappy. And I couldn’t figure out why. So I sold everything I owned except for a few favorite things, sold my car, […]
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 […]
Weeping Willow
I love weeping willows. When I was a kid, I walked by a whole grove of them on my way home from school, and would sit under them for a long time to get my center back before I headed on home. Although I guess it would be pretty hard to sit under this one […]
Happy 2017!!!
How many years have you set great goals for the new year…and ended up not doing them – and then feeling bad about it? Ugh! Me too. And not only that, but on top of not doing what I said I’d do, I felt bad about it, and then felt bad about feeling bad! How […]
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 […]
Dianne Collins on Daring Dreamers Radio: ...
I’m really pleased to bring you Dianne Collins, the amazing woman who wrote, Do You Quantum Think? New Thinking that Will Rock Your World. I think most of us can relate to what Dianne discusses re living your dream and making money – this was a fun interview for me! You’ve probably heard the expression, […]
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: The Land of Ammaze Books!
I’m very stoked to announce that the books with my well-loved drawings from the Land of Ammaze are finally published!

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 […]

Should Artists Have Just A Website, or Ju...
Someone asked on FB if she should have a website or a FB biz page for her art. Someone said to set up a print site as well (FAA) as her site or FB. This is what I answered: I sell pretty steadily from FineArtAmerica.com (FAA). But really, you asked about whether to have a […]
How I Ditched My Suicidal Thoughts, Shame...
For 35 years, I spent untold time every day quietly contemplating ways to do myself in. Even if the thoughts were only in the back of my mind. Thankfully, I never had even a fraction of the courage/stupidity to do it. I wasn’t ill and dying, or it might have made a little sense. I […]
Why Doing What You Hate is a Life-Killer
If you have a job or are doing something right now where you spend most of your time hating what you do, this is for you. Be careful what you choose to do. Why? Because as you spend your life minutes and precious life energy on doing whatever it is, you are spending it hating! […]
It’s Not About the Guns!
I’m hearing people say, “stop allowing people to have access to guns.” But I wonder…. President Obama ended his speech today with this: “Heal the broken hearted and bind up their wounds.” Is there any deeper call to action to those of us with such powerful tools as EFT, EMDR, NLP, etc., that are so […]
A Shocking Reading
Yesterday, I was given an astrology reading by a well-meaning, very dear-to-me, much-loving old friend. I’m think astrology is a good thing – even studied it for a bit – but I don’t normally go out of my way to get readings. But since it was a gift, and offered with such good intention, I […]

Artists! Do You Know How to Tap Your Way ...
As you might know, I am re-journeying into my art world after a 10-year hiatus. It’s taken some pretty massive tapping, because I’m bumping into all the old beliefs and ideas that limited me before. The HUGE difference being that now I know what to do when I’m assailed by doubt and fear, and I […]
Why Would an ‘EXPERT’ Take More Classes?
Yesterday, after I attended an excellent teleclass with the amazing Rebecca Marina. Not soon after it was over, I got an email from someone who knew of me and had heard my voice on the call. She said she was shocked to hear me on the call, and wondered why I was “still taking classes […]
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 […]
Coming Back to My Deepest Heart’s Passion
Recently, I decided to return to the passions of my life: painting and stone sculpture. I had stopped carving and painting at the end of my time in New Zealand as Artist-in-Residence, in 2002. Over the last ten years, I had been focusing on my practice as an energy practitioner, helping people resolve fear, pain, […]
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 […]
The Wave™ 2012 is Happening – Woohoo! Rig
We’ve all heard tons and tons of talk about about how 2012 is supposedly a defining year for consciousness. I have to admit that, at first, when I heard all the talk and the big hooha about 12/21/12, I was a bit cynical about it. It was, “OK, so it’s a big date…” and there […]
Ancient Wisdom Rising: Grandma Bertha Gro...
Are You Truly Open to Receive, or Could T...
Today as I worked with someone on opening up, she said she felt jealous of other coaches she sees who are “doing so much better” financially. “I feel so jealous, because I’ve spent so much time and energy on my website and my marketing, but look what THEY’re doing and how much THEY make! How […]
