I
had a wonderful opportunity to go to France in the summer of 2013 with my art
teacher and a group of women...
I had a strong feeling it was going to be a
pivotal point in my life, and indeed it was. Having found my passion of
painting, and being very committed to bringing the sacred feminine to the canvas, I had also begun to feel something more calling. I felt France would help me
clarify what it was, and again indeed it did. I sensed that there was more than
painting calling me to Paris.
One day after lunch, I waited outside of the
restaurant for the rest of the group and my heart compass began to vibrate, I
turned and saw this structure down the street that looked like a temple.
Somehow I knew I had to get there and then I discovered it was the Church of Magdalene and we were going there next.
Yes, oh yes, the minute I walked in I knew this
was the reason I was called to Paris. As I meditated Mary began to whisper.
However, it was only after painting my internal experience of Her that I began
to understand.
She
was urging me to allow my dreams to live,
that they were mine to live.
She spoke to me of the Revolution she led and
that we continue, hundreds of years later – to stand in our truth as women and
help others do the same.

Revolution
Gaze your eyes upon me
and invite your heart
to come along too…
Now breathe with me
into the rhythm…
Can you feel it?
Maybe it makes
your heart skip
maybe it strengthens
and fortifies you
maybe it scares you
just a little.
The smoothness… the
roughness
the lightness… the
darkness
brings balance to
chaos.
So tell me dear heart
what do you long for?
deep deep within?
Do you remember
the seed of revolution
you said Yes to?
Within me is within you
the mighty and the wise
one
the strength of
conviction
to Rise Up
and
lead a new era into being.
