Giclee, pronounced “zhee-clay” is a French term meaning “to spray”, referring to how an inkjet printer works.

It begins with someone who specializes in this process. The most exciting piece of this giclee technique is that you can have a piece of art that fits your space and your budget.

Try this now….

Find a space in your home that feels it needs a lift, a new vibration that resonates with a feeling you want to create.

Now IMAGINE, what would you write in an affirmation to bring your awareness to that feeling every time you looked at the painting.

Artwork is available for purchase as an original or giclee print. There are so many options. Affordable art on archival paper or canvas wrapped panels in shapes and sizes customized for your intentional space.

What to Expect?

Following are answers to some of the most common questions… 
What is the weather like in June in Santa Fe?
 Beautiful. The average temperature hovers around 79 degrees F for a high and dips into the low 60’s at night. Perfect weather to sleep with your windows open. June is a dry month, so rain is rare and humidity is low. We’d recommend packing light, casual and bring layers.

We were in Mexico last week facilitating our Soul Space Retreat at the magical Belmond Resort, Maroma.

Over the course of a few days we spent time getting in touch with our soul, the
part of us that lives deep within.

You are in a new environment, there are some familiar faces but mostly new. You are not really sure what to expect but something in your belly tells you it feels like you are in the right place at the right time. You are supported.

You sit down on your yoga mat. There is a kind smile coming from the mat next to yours. You think how nice it is to have a new friend in this stranger.

Life as you know it—the flurry of busyness, the constant spin-cycle and repeat. What if, family work and all responsibilities are left behind? There is an opening, much like cracking open a window on a beautiful day. In this new free void, wide open space is brought forward from a sense of no worry and no giving to everyone else first, she came back to her own power and remembered who she was.

My friend Jodie King (check out her inspirational art) met to chat about art in general.

Sacred Space. In our current home, the land and the oak groves spoke to me. I knew the house had potential. While the land had been neglected, it felt such a privilege to be the new steward and offer it some much needed and deserved love and attention. After an eighteen month remodel, our small ranch outside of Austin finally feels like home. This iconic tree keeps my feet on the ground while simultaneously inspiring me to look within and connect to a higher force.

Last week I spoke to a savvy group of engaging and intelligent women at the Mommie Series in Houston. I talked about SACRED SPACE.

When I get confused, when my mind is wrestling with what to do, I’ve learned to abandon my thought process completely. The best solution, I have discovered lies in asking my heart for direction.

A Writing Salon is percolating.

Are you interested in hanging out with a group of like-minded friends that help form a discipline and provide accountability to dedicate time and energy to creative free-flow journaling? A pen to paper self-discovery practice to uncover deep truths and open creativity. What if genuine authentic untapped material is patiently waiting to come forth and guide you?

What if you join my mom and I? Would you like to create an intention to dedicate 15 minutes, a small portion of your day (or a few days of the week) to a writing practice? Personal anecdotes written down that shaped who you are today. Insights that provide an interesting perspective of experience. To use inquisitive prompts that lead you to an intimate revealing glimpse into your life.

I believe everyone has a story to tell. There are lots of reasons to want to write a book

Have you ever felt inspired to write your memoir, perhaps captured ( or to be) in your journal or diary’s reflections? Is there something you feel compelled to share— stories to leave with your family as a legacy or for a reader to benefit from your experience?

For me, it was an outpouring. To transcribe my life’s experiences. To write about the stress as my role as an NICU nurse and then as a mother of a sick child.

I can feel the change. The last few weeks of this sweet summer are shifting. Wearing a sweater in the morning and lighting a fire to warm the chilly evenings, signals the whispers of autumn are approaching.

This summer I tended to my soul. For the first time in a long time, I took a pause.

I set an intention to create a summer dedicated to do exactly what I felt like doing. An experiment. What could happen? These past summer days, I mostly longed to fill my time outdoors— by myself, or with family and friends.

Color a sacred circle. In Sanskrit, mandala means “sacred circle.” Mandalas have been used for centuries as aids in healing, their circular form help organize perception, thought and physical responses in positive ways.

We are offering the 21 Day Deepak Abundance Meditation Challenge. The BENEFITS from our past group; “life changing”, “lost 4lbs”, “helped keep me grounded and calm and I am sleeping so peacefully”, “abundantly grateful”, “so relaxing and supportive“, powerful for these difficult days”.

It’s FREE and we begin again.

Meet a Zen Master. I was in California promoting my book A Moment’s Peace. One of the highlights of my trip was the opportunity to spend the afternoon with a Zen Master.

When my mind is calm and filled with faith, I can see solutions more clearly, and in this space choose the best one.
