This is a drawing a friend did of my Grandmother from a photo I posted years ago. I love it and it reminds me that she carried the egg for my mother and my mother had the egg for me and I had the egg for Dana. Women really do hold the future. We need to be held in a lot higher regard.

In Oaxaca even the dogs get painted. This is from my last trip to Oaxaca during Day of the Dead. A couple with their dog. It's one of those rare hairless dogs from Mexico. Happy Halloween and Day of the Dead.

Happy Halloween everyone. My favorite holiday. This is me in 2013 going to my son's Cooper's house. He has hundreds of kids come tricker treating and he always dresses up in a costume for them.

This is the time of enjoying a full moon. This is an intuitive painting I did and it came out of the story of the rabbit on the moon an old Japanese legend. I love how they just show up you never know what will come.

This is a little Halloween mouse my dear friend Georgena gave me. She passed and I'm so glad she left me these great memories. I love getting it out every year. I know how much she loved holidays. Hope it lifts your spirits too.

Looking at this Huichol art I realize how much it is like Aboriginal art. They use symbols of the land and spirit to tell stories and teach and carry on the magic. This connection to the land we have lost and I think maybe our art is a way to bring it back.

I love the art they have at airports. This is a giant red rabbit at the Sacramento Calif airport. I also love the flamingo at the Airport in Florida. Art makes it really fun to be there. Realizing Art makes it really fun to be anywhere it is.

Wanted to share with you the best stain remover I've ever used. My dear friend Linda told me about it and it really works. You get it at Ace Hardware. It got chocolate stains out of my white pants and a yellow stain out of a friends jacket that had been there 3 years. If you have stains get this.

Love this book and highly recommend it to anyone that wants to expand their consciousness. I studied Processwork when I first moved to Portland and loved it. Haven't done it for a while and now this book is reminding me how powerful we all are. Easy to read and do the exercises. Wanted to share.

Did an interesting exercise using my tarot book. Scanned my body and looked for a place that called my attention. It was a hump on the back of my spine. I had it choose a reading it chose The Moon. I used my body not my mind to interpret it. It said "The Mystery of life is the important part enjoy"

I like asking the Universe for advice and inspiration. I use my tarot book and these inspirational messages a student gave me. I keep them in a small Japanese lacquer box. Today I pulled "You can say yes." I love it and will look for what I will say yes to today. Thank you universe.

Use this book for inspiration in your life. It is great for doing that. You ask a question and pick a page and get the answer and I guarantee the answer will inspire you. In this time of so much down time we all could use a little inspiration. The only place you can get this is from lulu.com.

Another Mexican folk art piece I bought in Puerto Vallarta in 2022. It is a table runner of Frida Kahlo. I love using it when my art friends come over for a meal. I also love hanging it in my living room. Enjoy

This is a magical painted wooden porcupine I bought in Oaxaca 40 years ago. I'm attracted to Porcupines and even dream I have a porcupine suit. They are one of my power animals. They help you maintain boundaries. They are protectors.
