“Artists love other artists.”

- Julia Cameron

Resuming  The Artist’s Way process in Safety. Always a great place to start. The process finds me hopeful. As hopeful as when I facilitated groups teaching it, as hopeful as when I embarked on the journey on my own.

I’ve been telling a dear fellow artist that we are truly never, never alone. Now again, it’s time for me to put my method where my heart is.

In this week, this June Bloom week, I’ve been immersing myself in the deliciousness of Louise Hay. Optimistic and beyond, she epitomizes self-love, and love, as an art. If I never create another piece of art, I’ll know I’m always an artist. My loving is an art. It’s a perfectly imperfect art. In my soul, I know this. If kind reminders and creations emerge from this knowing, from this process, which I’m sure they will, I’m all for it. Again and again.

Sensitivity is needed. Without funding, when you’re fashioning your working artist’s life brick by brick, it can elicit a sense of uneasiness in others. Every step closer to truth you walk by its very nature can indict others to do so. And as Spirit, we are always unfolding and unearthing more truth within ourselves. This is not necessarily a process to shout about from the rooftops. In this blog, one can pick and choose. I know going through this journey is therapeutic. I think it’s an important one to take for an artist, for a Spirit, whatever package it arrives in. Most importantly, sensitivity for oneself. Keeping your hands over the warm fire so as not to let the first breeze–soft or overpowering–dull or douse the fire.

Rather than reaching for aspirin, over-the-counter or even less holistic solutions, you might want to give natural relaxation remedies and healing tinctures a try. Here are a few suggestions from the Nelson Bach line.

Yoga in a Bottle: Solutions for Centering in a Busy World

No matter the reason, there’s never an ieal time to be stressed, fatigued, or frazzled, and unless you work here in the city at Sounds True or Naropa, you may not always be able to that meditation break at work. Though of course, it’s suggested, it seems everywhere you look in Boulder, you’ll find a picture postcard vista not too far away, and you may not always find convenient times during the work week to be able to slow down and appreciate it. Centering helps.

Not only can homeopathic solutions enrich your day, they can set in place self-nurturing habits that positively affect your health, longevity, and quality of life. So…say hello to a sweet solution: Bach Flower Rescue Remedy, aka “Yoga in a Bottle…”

Reflections on Deflection

Remember the Margaret Cho routine where the lesbian couple’s on an Olivia Cruise? One woman asked another,  “Were you checking out…her, or her, or her, or her…?”

Drama happens. Femmes can have an aggro-crisis, and our butchies and transbrothers can reveal to us the softest hearts. Postmodern label-less women might get tweaked if you do give them a label or a pronoun–accidentally, or otherwise. And Girl, I don’t even have the time or space to talk about U-Hauls.

Any way you…

“When you think about incorporating a healthier lifestyle into your own, remember, you’re just like everybody else…Everyone is striving for better health.”

Plus Size Clothing Magazine Asks: Sure You’re Sexy as You Wanna Be–Are You as Healthy as You Wanna Be?

Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt, so the saying goes. Being big and beautiful has its perks, no doubt about it. Plus size clothing options are getting better and better every day (Yes! Thank you, world!). It’s no longer a secret–big gals have more fun. And the “little people” just don’t understand, at least not always: many full figured women and men are living an HAES lifestyle (Health at Every Size). Fashion designers, shock-jocks, and ignorant so-called pundits still think that just because someone is overweight, they’re unhealthy. This article isn’t for full-time HAES’ers. This is for plus sized folks who aren’t quite sure…
