When in human history have so many people prevented others from seeing the truth?

It's usually because one person knows that the truth, or whatever is being prevented from being looked at transparently, will hurt one or both parties when they see it.

I created this piece as a reflection of not only my personal experience of being called by the larger part of myself but also a universal call.

There are so many things I can say about this piece, however, we both know that art speaks where words are unable to explain.  I do want to share some words with you, in the form of an Artist's Prayer I wrote (inspired by the Artist's Way) that are a part of my ongoing calling.
Here we go...

Artists Prayer

All loving God, Infinite Creator,
I am here so that I may be of greater service to you,
And so that all of my affairs may align with my highest purpose & highest self.

I offer myself to you as an instrument.
I open myself to your creativity in my life.
I surrender to you all of my old ideas that do not serve me.
I welcome your new and more expansive ideas.
I welcome the creative power that creates worlds.

I trust that you will lead me.
I trust that it is safe to listen and follow you.

I know that you created me as you, and we are one.

I am you when I let myself be.

I ask you to unfold my life,
According to your plan, not the plan of my shadow self, 
Or any low self-worth.

Help me to let go of the scarcity mindset and all beliefs that do not serve me.

Help me to love all beings,
To nurture each other’s unfolding,
To encourage each other’s growth,
And understand each others’ fears.

Help me to know I am never alone.

Help me to know that I am loved, blessed & guided by you.
Help me to create as an act of worship to you.

Through my art, I am healed, and I heal others.

Creativity is your gift to me.  Using my creativity is my gift back to you.

So Mercury Retrograde...

officially started Saturday, the 29th.
In proper respect for the infradian & circadian rhythms & not to mention the powerful insights and awarenesses that come to me during my period, I will be pausing on the series during this time. 

I suggest you do the same.  It's a time to evaluate and choose what you would like to move forward with. Unless we look at what we would like to let go of + look inward, we're only moving forward with all of the crap we don't want.  If you decide to grind it out during this time you most likely are going to run into some problems. 😅

You will hear from me again starting July 2nd beginning the third cycle of the series within the fresh & energetic follicular phase 🌷

Don't believe the hype about Mercury Retrograde & watch Lorenzo Sanford's video below!
It's OK to chill + do anything that begins with the prefix 're-'
Lorenzo beautifully explained this to me, so I've posted his video about it here.  I highly recommend you follow his channel and check out his astrology work here>>

Mercury Retrograde - Lorenzo Sanford - Astro- Logic Astrology

During the menstrual phase, the communication between the right and left hemispheres of the brain is more powerful than any other time. 
I sometimes call this the most 'psychic' or intuitive phase. 

We all know that there's blood and tons of hormonal imbalances like cramps that appear, but what most don't know is what the brain is primed for. 
In my opinion, this is the real superhero phase.

The brain chemistry during this time allows for judiciously evaluating how you're doing in life--what worked and what didn't work over the past 28-32 days in the previous 3 phases.  What do I keep? What am I taking with me into the next phase?  Without this evaluation time, all you really move forward with is crappy, unwanted things.

Very similar to what is occurring now in our solar system, with Mercury Retrograde, the period of the universe (as I like to call it)

It's prime time to listen and receive the answers to our questions. Because of all that shedding happening in and out of the body, it's beneficial to remember that not every battle is worth fighting and most do not need our intervention--they may turn out to benefit us if we allow.
