Liberation Artist: One who works to live beyond fear & hesitation, breaking with the status quo to create Life as Art while discovering the Art of Living.

My greatest passion is Story. Our collective story, the one we’re writing together in the Book of Humanity, each of us inking our own chapter with the moments of our lives.

My passion is best manifest when I’m helping others connect with the art that is their life – fire sparks electric through my soul when supporting others as they harness the power to shape the most Epic Chapter they can in this adventure story we call Life.

I also invoke this power working at the bookends of life as birth, death, and mourning doula, and I train others to do the same at www.mourningdoula.com.

I hope you find something of value in my offerings, and especially, that they help you free your mind, your heart, your art. :)

Create an amazing day for yourself, wonderful you!

Quality Questions

Today’s Thoughts:  The quality of questions we ask ourselves will dictate the quality of our answers, and subsequently, the life we create.  High quality questions yield higher quality answers.  High quality answers help shape stellar lives.

Many go through life with a “Why not?” mindset.   “If there’s no obvious reason to reject an opportunity, then why do so?”  

There is not necessarily anything wrong with making decisions that way.  Not unless you have specific dreams for yourself, and for your life.  When you are sitting on your porch rocking in your chair at 90, what memories do you want to reflect upon?  Make sure your choices today weave those future memories.

Each opportunity we select means we by default de-select an infinite array of others.   Remaining in a less than stellar relationship because you are anxious about being alone could mean you miss the opportunity to meet the perfect partner; staying in a dead-end job, or shrinking from risk could mean you miss the boat on the dream career.  We only have so many life moments, how we spend them is something to consider carefully, for how we invest our moments will determine the life we yield from that investment.  

For Now: I am focusing on the map by which I will navigate my remaining years.  My world is in a state of flux, as my primary organizing principle has shifted.  ’Til recently decisions were largely filtered through the lens of ”I’m a single mom.”  My sons are grown now, yet I am still barely edging into my 40s.  Potential decades spread out before me, and I want to live them as fully, as wonderfully, and as intentionally as possible.   What lens shall I now examine opportunity through?  What organizing principles shall rise up to shape the coming years? I’m not certain yet – I’m slowly teasing out the answer to those mysteries by the day.  However, of one thing I’m certain:  When opportunity knocks, I will be asking “Why should I answer?  What does this bring to my life?” as opposed to simply throwing the door wide with a smiling,”Why not?”
