Salvador Dali’s SWANS REFLECTING ELEPHANTS, 1937. (photo credit https://salvadordaliprints.org/swans-reflecting-elephants/)   Becoming Authentically YOU Salvador Dali was the second child born of that name to his parents. The first child of that name died nine months before Dali, as we refer to him in surrealist art. Can you imagine being created and birthed as a replacement for the first-born son of your parents? Can you imagine the familial trauma and grief Dali was born into? And what did Salvador Dali do to cope with his parents’ words, “Your brother would have…” as he was compared against the absent brother his entire

What if boundary crossers are angels sent to help you strengthen your boundary setting muscles?

Not just wanting more but pushing and pressuring, crossing my boundaries even.” I closed my eyes to the asks and fell quickly to sleep.   Later, I climbed into my favorite chair with

Do you want to be the reef for this family of cuttlefish? Animal Whispering Everyone who chooses to be — IS an animal whisperer.

I feel like I am dragging this inner child around by her foot, clawing, kicking and screaming.

The wings of angels may arrive you in forms you do not so easily recognize. BEING THE LAND, THE SEA, AND THE TURTLE The LAND adapts with ease to the blowing winds and changing tides. In a storm, she is refuge for the creatures that call her home and, as such, she does not distinguish between religion, ethnicity, culture, age, species, or any other means of exclusivity. She generously gifts her transformed self as sand to the sea while she waits with trust for the return of the turtle to her shores. The SEA is fluid, reflective, and resilient, changing
