The encaustic medium is magical, vibrant and translucent.  My creative muse guides, inspires and feeds my soul through this medium, mixed media and collage.  Blessing me with endless moments of creative joy and harmony...providing those ahhaa moments about life.  Join me on this creative journey, spend some time reading my musings about this life, the blessed other souls that come into contact with mine, however brief or often, that can leave everlasting imprints on our journey....perhaps our lives might share some similarities, bringing us closer and more connected...and less isolated.

"I suppose there is one friend in the life of each of us who seems not a separate person, however dear and beloved, but an expansion, an interpretation, of one's self, the very meaning of one's soul." ~ Edith Wharton

Here's to finding those expansive moments.....

Taking one's own path....

" There are hundreds of paths up the mountain, all leading in the same direction, so it doesn't matter which path you take.
The only one wasting time is the one who runs around and around the mountain, telling everyone that his or her path is wrong." ~ Hindu Teaching


Taking your Own Path

Our realities differ from one another, therefore, our perceptions can be different too.  This reminds me then, that there is no wrong vs. right way of doing things, only that the choices we make can lead to different paths, there are a variety of perspectives that can enrich our lives and each other.  So instead, I am choosing to really listen to your perspectives, to respect them, to understand and to accept the diversity in our human experience.  Essentially, I wish this for us over the seasons festivities, an embracing of our diversity, our lives, our choices and that LOVE is the sole unifier.  Wishing you all love, joy and peace.  I am grateful for my blessings and wish many blessings in your life too.
Here's to a new paths in 2011 one full of adventure, love, magic, joy and abundance.
