Oh My Goddess!





Can I just say…WOW!

I am in awe by the email response that I have received to The Goddess Chronicles: A Traveling Art Journal project. This idea was born out of a deep desire to create something collaborative with other women around the world.

The Goddess Chronicles is an intention to hold the highest vision of all women through expressive and artistic creations. There is a change that is stirring in the souls of women around the world more than ever!  I would like to document a small piece of this evolution for younger generations of goddesses. You can read about the details of this project here.

Since putting this dream out into the world I have received so much love and joy from each and every participant. I wanted to share a few of the beautiful words I have received…

“Thank you Sofia for your dreams, efforts, and opportunity to inspire generations to come.  Let's do it together, in it with you!”  Wendy Goldsmith

“Dear Sofia, my heart soared when I read about this traveling book. I would be so delighted and so humbled to take part." Maria Notarangelo 

“The Goddess Chronicles Journal is a fantastic idea and dream that is going to be a reality! I would love to create some art for a book that gets passed on to future goddesses. What wisdom we can share! I already have some ideas! I hope you will consider me as a part of your dream.” Jetta Heinen

“My heart jumped out of my chest at the thought of joining your community and contributing .... I would love so very much to be a part of your project and feel the weaving Speak to us all.” Robina D’Arcy-Fox


Once the original book is completed, it will be donated to Girls Inc. in San Antonio, TX. My hope is that The Goddess Chronicles will help girls and women alike recognize the profound love within, expand their own creativity, and cultivate living an authentic and happy life! 



DREAM BIG! HUGE! DREAM ON! 
The world is waiting for you!

ART- Anywhere!


Just wanted to share pictures from The Recovery Art Journaling workshop I facilitated with De Anna Melendez from Creative Counseling Solutions this weekend. 

It was a cozy spot! But this proves you can make art anywhere where there is love!!!
Our supplies were here...



Paintbrushes, Paint and Ink OH MY!






And we worked, laughed and "went within" here...




What a glorious day we spent together! Stay tuned for more fun workshops coming soon!

Feeling Brave

Be Brave, Girl!




I love Tamara Laporte. No! Really. 
I am taking Life Book 2013 and it is AH-MAZING!! So many beautiful visuals every week! I can't get enough. I really am so glad for the investment in my self and my art! 

If you are thinking about taking any of her classes you should completely dive in! Do it. I support this woman because she is by far the single most illuminating presence on the web for me. 

Of all the courses I have taken... (and I have taken a lot!) I keep coming back to her. She is honest, open, compassionate, caring, loving, talented and shares wonderful techniques at prices I can afford! It's win-win! 

For a week or so now I have not been sharing my artwork in Life Book because the "gremlins" (thank you Brene Brown) They keep talking nonsense in my head and comparing to this one and that! Even though EVERYONE is super supportive I still got a little chatter box gremlins going on.

Like Magic Tamara posted this today! 



I know this was meant for me to see! Here is what was inspired as a result.



 Yup, that's me sticking my tongue out at the gremlins! 



Now I look like this! Thanks Tamara, you make a difference!
