Howdy Y'all!

I am writing a free ebook and I'm looking for contributors. 

The title of this ebook is: 

Looking for both women and men! Are you interested or know anyone that might be? Please respond below! Don't you think it's time for radical changes in the world? I certainly do. I believe we need to generate new holistic and creative ways of living in the 21st century. We must come together and design new models in our communities to affect meaningful change and give value back to thing things that truly matter.

If you are with me then contribute! You could choose any one or all of the 4 C's and express how and why it is important in your life, aspects of your world or global world today. One page will be sufficient. 

I'm providing contributors with a link back to their website along with a short bio and picture next to their story. 

Let's inspire one another and become catalysts for creative change!

The above might make me sound like I'm running for office but I assure you I am not. :) I am just a girl who wants people to be happy in their work and in life. I value being an artist and this is a great way to honor that! Are you with me?

Saturday Poetry and Story

I have been so very much, enjoying the space and time in the morning right before the sun comes up, writing. It is a sacred time indeed and I wanted to share today some of my writings. It's a little bit nerve-wracking because these are things I never share. I think it's okay now. 

Emily Noelle

Awakening

As I sit and watch 
the rain fall from the sky 
feelings of renewal and hope
wash over my soul.

The possibilities of new adventures
shine in through the window
as the sun breaks through the clouds. 

The coolness of rain has awakened
this inner hope 
and the heat of the sun
moves the energy inside towards
transformation and evolution of my life. 

Luminous

The Rainbow Scribe

The light is bright and blinding. After a few seconds, hues of red, yellow, and orange adjust to my eyes.

I stand illuminated. 
I stand in the light of myself. 

My heart and soul become one and I radiate so brightly that my body can no longer be seen. 

What beauty is this? What joy? What love is this?

God? is that you?

Sofia in an Italian Cafe´

Maybe this will be a short story? I was recalling my time in Italy. How I wish to go back again!

She played with the necklace that dangled around her fingers as she leaned her elbows on the table below. The fizz of her strawberry soda settled as the pink foam evaporated into the air. Looking far into the distance she searched for the pictures in her mind that would illuminate the path she should follow. She lingered there for a moment or two and after a few minutes the noise of the streetcars snapped her back to her current reality. The waiter came back to the heavy, rustic table with her order. The food smelled deliciously divine. The smell of basil and garlic teased her nostrils and instantly she felt the sensation of hunger return. Each bite was a mini explosion in her mouth. Her eyes closed at every savory bite and her mind produced colors for each flavor she recognized. The sun peeked through a flapping umbrella above and reflected his light on a glass of red wine that she now focused her attention on. Heaven! The food, the place, the sounds, and smells were absolute Heaven. The corners of her mouth held red tomato sauce that she slowly licked off as if trying to stimulate each taste bud from the tip of her tongue. After another gulp of wine, she exhaled in satisfaction. For a moment, she'd forgotten all of her problems. For a moment, she allowed herself to enjoy life. She came to the end of her meal and like a puff of smoke that vanishes into the air, so did the heavenly feeling that permeated her body and soul a few moments before. Staring off into the distance again she played the video tape of her life over and over. What to do? What to do? Will the answers come... and when? Will it all be okay?

Expressing through writing today. Thank you for reading. How will you express your creativity today?

Listen to Your Heart

As a woman who has decided to live authentically and do only things that make my soul sing, I have taken the message to listen to my heart and trust that all will be well.

I knew that quitting my job as a professor of pharmacy after nearly seven years would be a huge step towards this way of life. I also knew that I would be leaving behind financial security to dive into the scary unknown. 

Sometimes I find it difficult to allow others to help me because I am so used to doing it all myself. This is a most humbling gift. I have come to understand that things and people come to me for a very good reason and that I should accept them with love.

Over the last six months I have met many beautiful people, where I live and online. The connections have been so powerful and each of them has proven to be a part of this new path I am taking. Each day I am affirmative, intentional, and focused on what I truly want for my future. 

Shiloh Sophia McCloud

Lately I have been dreaming that I was painting in my grandmother's old New York City apartment. The air smelled like sazo´n that wafted in from the kitchen and I could hear salsa music five floors down from the street below. My grandmother sold that great 8 bedroom apartment back in the nineties but the memories never go away. I wondered what this dream was about. Was I wishing to visit my past? Did it have something to do with my future?  Then this morning in an instant it was clear.

I don't know how I came across this workshop in my internet surf this morning. I did however know that it was meant just for me! What's more is that I found Shiloh Sophia McCloud over a year now, nearly two, when I saw her work I intended to one day meet her and paint with her. I was just so drawn to it.

In an instant and without talking myself out of it, I decided to book the workshop and a flight and hotel to New York City! I know, know, know it's meant to be! And! As an added bonus my dear Goddess Chronicles friend Jade Scarlett will be joining me! After posting my status on Facebook she asked if I would meet her....for lunch or something...I told her about the workshop...she was over the moon! Within a minute or two she confirmed that she had just signed up for the workshop! We laughed and cried and just knew we had both listened to our hearts! 

Stay tuned for updates friends!

What is being whispered to you right now? What is your heart telling you?
