The Shadow
When you hear your soul whisper
in sadness or pain
reactivity or negativity
Instead of ignoring,
distracting, or rejecting
Listen. Accept. Breathe.
What does this part of you have to say?
It’s a child
that wants to be heard, integrated, & healed.
You might ask
What do I feel?
Why do I feel that?
Why do I think that?
Is that true?
Why is that so bad?
What does that mean to me or about me?
Whatever comes to mind
observe, accept.
& then realize, it's okay. I am okay.
I am a human with room for growth.
Allow yourself to see yourself
and love yourself,
Your heart will thank you,
The shadow will lessen.
This is meditation.
This is self compassion.
This is The Work
Accepting the Shadow,
and in turn
you lift it
you heal your soul
piece by piece.

Happy Spring 🌱🌱🌱And belated Earth Day. Although it may snow again this weekend in MN, Spring has come. I’ve had a few magical wildlife encounters, there’s so many singing birds, and the plants are awakening 💓feels like a deep restorative breath full of life after a long and still winter. 🌲 @ Minneapolis, Minnesota

Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be? 🌻

A drawing from way back in high school. That was like, 8 years ago. I was pretty miserable back then– didn’t have a clue on how to manage my emotions, how to understand the world, who I was, or wanted to be, or should be. This is how I got through. I made art. To escape, and to calm my mind. It was usually pretty intuitive, doodle-esque, and unplanned. 🦋
I’ve learned a lot since then, and from looking back. I’m an overall content person now, and although I have a personality type that experiences emotions quite strongly, it’s often more in the way of inspiration, empathy, and wonder. I still deal with sadness and anxiety, but I’ve learned how to ride through as more of an objective observer, instead of being pulled under and overwhelmed. 🌊
Some people have personalities that reside in a very thought-orientated intellectual space, some are very action orientated, and others are highly sensitive feelers like I am. Each type has its pros and cons, and experiences the world in unique ways. And each type of person is beautiful and necessary. 💎
Life can get harder, but it also gets better if you get up, keep going, and learn from your past. Don’t give up. ✨

Warrior Druid ✨🍃
I tend to draw people with similar expressions on their face, & mostly portraits vs active scenes. This is what I’m most drawn to, trying to portray faces with eyes that have a deep & peaceful inner knowing about them. The dreamer, the spiritual warrior, the otherworldly. But… same face syndrome 🙈 My goal for 2019 is to have more variety in the expressions and scenes I depict, and also to draw more men because I’m clearly biased towards that divine feminine energy. ☀️😊

Also, I have some exciting stuff coming up down the road soon! Will reveal more in upcoming posts! 😊

“The Seer"
The seer peers into the realm of spirit
ecstatic vision beyond the veil
where hidden becomes seen
and secrets becomes known
barriers dissolve
reality merges with dreams
unreality is true reality
eyes flood with light
the fire of God
transforms the heart

Bears. I both love and fear bears, especially after having an experience seeing multiple black bears in the wild in Colorado this year. There’s many horror stories about bears attacking humans (although this is a rare thing), & I am especially fearful of grizzly bears, who are known to be much more aggressive & dangerous towards people. I think about how it is sad that civilization has taken over & destroyed so much of their territory, but I am glad they are still around and that humans are making an effort to protect + replenish their fading numbers (historically there were estimated 50,000 grizzlies, to now only around 1,800 of them). An ideal society lives as one with nature, not consuming and destroying, but working with, protecting, and preserving. We are not separate from nature & wilderness, there are always consequences when we fail to realize this. We are a long way from a society that lives to this ideal, but I have hope we will follow towards that path...

Squirrels have slowly become a favorite critter of mine. They’re so adaptable, quick, and intelligent with a bit of playfulness. Also extremely cute, even if they can be a nuisance at times (breaking into houses & whatnot, stealing my Grandma’s food that was meant for the birds)
