“Transformation: Unzip From Old to New”

Dear Friends,

As 2021 comes to completion, it is a good time for all of us to reflect on what the past year has taught us. So many lessons, and opportunities to grow and unzip from the old ways, right?!?!

The New Year beckons us into the unknown with anticipation, curiosity, and love! What is it you want to experience and create for yourself in this coming year? What do you wish to resolve, explore, enjoy, or release? What is your deepest, heartfelt desire, longing, and intention for yourself in 2022? We may not yet know the answers, but simply asking ourselves these questions is already a good start. WE ARE NEVER TOO YOUNG OR TOO OLD TO CREATE SOMETHING NEW IN THE PRESENT.

Within 2 weeks, I will be sending out a composite grid of all the paintings I've sent out in 2021 — some included 2 paintings in the same blog. I couldn't have done this without Kirk Roberts, my web designer, tech guy, and overall genius and nice guy! We all need the right kind of help and support on our team, don't we?

After you receive this composite grid, I will love to hear from as many of you as possible what your top 3 favorite painting/posts are. I also invite you to check out the Blog tab on my website to review all the messages. I get so many responses each month which I absolutely adore receiving! I would love hearing from as many of you as possible out there who would like to share. If you hit reply, only I will receive your message. Let me know also if you would like to continue receiving these Art and Healing messages in 2022. I plan on continuing this series until I run out of paintings to share, and then I will create more new ones :).

It is my joy to share my creations with you. Art work has always been one of the most authentic ways I have of expressing my Essence. As is doing my Healing work — which includes helping others express their Essence and find their creativity. When I send out these messages, I get to integrate it ALL! I feel blessed and grateful. Thank you!

Wishing you a happy December and Warm Greetings of the Season! (I told you this is not your usual Holiday Greeting :)

Much Love,

Gail
