Actually, it feels like I have quite a few job descriptions at the moment and we’ll talk about some of them, shortly. For now, though, the paintings have quit preachin’ and gone to meddlin’ again!
The Intentional Creativity® adventure known as #Quickening is coming to a close. And, yes… that means – you know – homework!
That’s the #painting, above. And the piece of furniture known as the #alteringaltar. (Well, a glimpse of it!) And, no… these are not things I learned in nursing school or seminary! If you’ve been around for more than about 10 minutes, though, you’ve already realized that I am still learning!
In this place, writing often goes with painting. I find that hugely comforting, Kinesthetic and Auditory/Digital processor that I am. (Yep! Pictures come last!) And all of that is happening in the context of – you know – the world!
So, my job description summary of this adventure just appeared:
I am the place between then and not yet. Between ancient ancestors and generations yet to come. I carry the prayers of all those beloveds.
It kind of weirds me out to realize how true that feels! And, yet, I am, indeed, one of the women in the photo. Generation after generation of them… then, now, and one day.
What I dreamed last night, though, was a voice reminding me that carrying prayers means many things. One of those things feels a lot like opening doors. And I have a bunch of them opening in my world. Some for me, and a couple that might be for you, too!
And, yes… I’m so convinced that, as Mama Caron McCloud helped us learn, I matter. You matter. We matter. And, mattering matters, that I’m going to invite you to consider those doors… again! (Okay, maybe urge you to consider those doors!)
First comes #Filters! which I’m leading through the Intentional Creativity® Foundation. Think of it like a really affordable 6-week cruise, coming home to a place you’ve never been before 😉 And your souvenir will, literally, be a whole new map of reality and some really cool art! An adventure that might just get you out in the world doing whatever it is that means this much to you… which, frankly, is the point! (The link to all the info is below.)
Then, there’s the 2025 #Red Madonna journey known as Mother Nature: ReMothering & ReWilding! I’m honored to be on the “Dangerous” leadership team again. A year-long painting adventure, complete with stories and poems, celebration and community.
Here’s a peek at one of my early #RedMadonna adventures, Our Lady of Blossoming Earth. Trust me when I tell you, she was a huge help in healing a major loss in my world! (And, yes… this link is below, too!)
Oddly enough, they all kind of come together, message-wise, in yet another painting… Our Lady of Good Trouble!
Her prayer is that you’ll read deep, and sign up for an adventure in newness. (And, yes… doing both is totally possible!!!)
Why??? Because this world needs YOUR Good Trouble! And sometimes we all need some others on the road with us!
This is the link for #Filters!
And, this is the link for #RedMadonna!
Be brave!!! And, give yourself the gift of more possibilities!!! You, too, are in the place between then and not yet…
ps… if you guessed there might be a #Filters reference up near the top of the #Quickening painting, you’re right. And, ready!!!
pps… nope! You don’t need to be a painter, already! We’ve totally got you!
