Sacred Hands

Creating is challenging. Ask any artist, parent, or nature itself, every step along the way takes a noted effort and desire to keep going! My biggest challenge in emmersing myself in production is the physical strain, keeping my body without pain from the intense force it takes to create!

But, with every challenge comes opportunity, and this one is no different. In addition to receiving nearly weekly massages (and doing trades for them, yahoo), yoga has become a regular practice. Nothing like being forced to keep your body moving to get you into shape! Also, staff spinning is another regular practice that helps me maintain dexterity and strength in my arms and hands. Its a delicate combination coupled with listening to my limbs that allows me to produce as much as I can!

With physical healing there is also a great deal of emotional, mental and spiritual healing and integration. Suffice to say that this is an intense time for me! However, I am creating some of my best work, every day the pieces are infused with more intention and delight, and the appreciation of my friends and peers is astounding.

I am SO grateful for all my challenges, all my opportunities, and for the exceptional growth I am blessed to be experiencing! I could not be in a better place in my life, and I am looking forward to sharing these creations with the summer sun... ohmygoodness do I miss warmth and sun!
