Shameless in Sedona....

I have been humbled. 

Humbled by the beauty, the majesty of Sedona.

A week later she echos in the halls of my heart, in the vast caverns of my soul...courses through my river-run veins. I came home, to myself...to an awareness that I never thought possible.

It was a vision quest. And oh the Visions I did see....

Total Alignment with Connie Hozvika...IS forever transforming me, my art, my connections with the earth/family/friends. 

It is healing wounds so deep...not even I was aware.

Sedona took the pain and buried it in her red rock heart....and there it grows into something nourishing...beautiful again...cyclic as The Creator intended.

7 Sisters of The Red Rock 

I witnessed you

Rise

Fall

Cry

Laugh

Run

Walk

Fear

Fail

Shame

Let Go

Embrace

Accept

Transform

Inspire

AWAKEN

and I am humbled to my core.

Thank you Sedona.

Thank you Connie.

Thank you 7 Sisters

Aho.

Teacher Connie.... Fearless Goddess... you're so beautiful...

She... is... Sedona....

Audaciously Artsy... what I want outta 2013

Hello yous !
I've been trying to avoid the ol' year in review blog post. Trying not to be cliche... trying to keep quiet a bit..reflect, review, revise, relive.
A week and a half into this new year it's been an emotional one. Personally things are wonderful, goals I've made are coming to fruition, my children are happy and doing well.. my husband is a saint...and my love of mixed media is something I'll be able to share with hundreds in a few short months with
21 secrets 2013 launching.

Here's what I want outta 2013.

I want more moments. Moments where I am not overwhelmed with the tasks of the day, but overwhelmed by a sensory overload. Touch, smell, taste, hear. I want more moments to just sit on my tongue and linger so I can savor every last tid bit morsel.
I want more lingering. More loitering. More meandering. More lollygagging.
More... time to just be and let be. To settle into my skin. Fat, thin.. sagging... firm doesn't matter.
Time to marinate in gratitude. Let it permeate through all things... let my thankfulness for this life just ooze off of me like warm icing on a big cinnamon roll (yum).
More permission to do, feel, say what my heart scratch that what my LION HEART says it wants.
Gettin' down to the nitty gritty. More time to dance, fearless, uninhibited, wildly free.

:WORD OF THE YEAR: 

  Audacious lively; unrestrained; uninhibited:

Oh yeah. Last year was LionHeart so I am thinking this is along the same lines... and I loved loved loved last years word... it seriously brought my back to it so many times over the course of the year...where I had to tap into that word and use it to propel me through.

This year is no exception. And I take with me last years word as well.

Audaciously Lion Hearted.

And there is always room for: 

I stand in awe at the light my life has.  And I am aware of how very blessed I am to have another year for {ACCEPT}ional opportunities to be inspired.

Much love Lion Hearts!
