An Open Letter To Those Who Would Diminish My Fire







To whoever seeks to diminish my flame - consciously, unconsciously, maliciously or with the best of intentions,

 Thank you for your attention. Thank you for wishing me well and trying to save me or put me on the right path. Thanks also to those with an envious nature and hidden resentment, who choose to shoot invisible beams of meanness my way. Thank you, as this adds fuel to my fire...... and by the way, I am just fine.

  My way may not look like yours. My way may look like nothing at all. My way, may even look as if I am lost or floundering, I assure you this is not the case.

 MY life is precious, encompassing the good and the bad. The hard parts are welcome just as the fun and easy stuff are. My life is plainly ornate, small in the biggest of ways and full in its sparsity. My life sparkles from the inside out and it suits me.

  I have days when I feel weak and voiceless....I embrace them for I know they will come and go. I have days I feel on top of the world and that I am the luckiest woman alive, these are a bit easier to embrace, they will also come and go.

  I have finally figured out that ALL of my life has purpose and I will no longer try to sit on the things that I feel ashamed of or that feel uncomfortable. I will not rise above them, pray over them or seek to destroy them. I will allow them to teach me something I need to know. I will acknowledge they are there for a reason. I will allow it All to unfold in the most sacred of ways at my cold and eager feet.

  I have spent years cultivating the flame you seek to cover with your well meaning dirt. You will fail. I am no longer a woman who can be broken and molded. I am a woman on fire and I have things to say.

 Namaste,
Stephanie

Thank You Stephanie, I have felt this way many times and I even have written and painted my way through the process of embracing own HEART fueled by those that choose to ignore the fact that I too am human. I am in awe of your HEART and am inspired by your vulnerability of living life fully and Spirited.
You are the definition to my blessing I say daily.... May we align the truth in our hearts with divine grace.

I look forward for all that you have to teach in the coming year.

Light of love and Divine grace,
Karen

Thank you Stephanie! Tears of release and crazy deep joy as I read this!! So many times I have tried to fix me to make myself tolerable. Credible. Acceptable. Crushing my heart in the process ... the sword against myself has been laid down this past year. I am unquenchable ♡♡♡

Thank you Deborah. I love that you are laying down your sword. The internal battle has been going on way too long for me as well. Here's to our knowing there is NOTHING to fix and to our burning, beautiful selves!

Internal Guidance - Feeling Into The New Paradigm

  I feel like I’ve just finished a very intense and in depth master class. If the course had a title it would probably be something like, “Adapting To The New Paradigm - Reading Your Energy To Know What’s Working” .  It’s been a totally immersive, 8 week lesson that started with looking at how much money my husband and I have and allowing the number to freak us the fuck out. So much so, that the only alternative we felt we had was to sell our home. The minute we decided this, it felt unbelievably sad and we both experienced a huge amount of grief around the idea of letting this “family member” go.  After we worked through the grief, we set about engaging in a string of contract signing with several companies and individuals who wanted to buy our house. It was excruciating and confusing to watch each deal that we'd make, magically dissolve into big piles of steamy horse excrement. All the while, each step we took was bizarrely out of sync with our normal way of being in the world. O

Hello and Welcome

Hello and welcome!  I'm Stephanie and I am a Creative Transformation Guide, intuitive artist and writer. I have spent almost 3 decades practicing  process art  and I am passionate about using the creative process to assist others in finding their own wisdom and power so that they may live a more conscious and connected life.   I believe now more than ever as we navigate many global (and personal) paradigm shifts, that our creativity is vital and can be used as a tool to tap into our most authentic self.  Every single one of us is born with a creative spark nestled within. That doesn't mean we should all be artists selling our creations in galleries or writing novels. What is does mean is we ALL have the capability to create.  WE ARE CREATORS AND ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN WE KNOW.  Something happens when we decide to create just for the sake of creating. Because there is no pressure to make something pretty or have it mean anything, the brain gets busy playing dropping us into our

Redbubble Shop

I've just opened a Redbubble shop! This has been something I resisted for a LONG time. But now it feels like this is just what happens next.  It feels scary and vulnerable and totally right. A few of the designs are what I would consider channeled in that I didn't have much of a hand it what came out and also, they because they are infused with light, which is totally new for me. And there are some images from my altered books that were all about expressing what I was feeling in the moment.  I would love it if you took a few minutes to check it out!
