500 It's Time To Celebrate





















It's time to celebrate.
500 Posts.

As we close in on the Winter Solstice
it's time to release
all those thoughts holding us back
all those limiting constructs about ourselves we
no longer need.
A time to banish the critic
and put forth in our hearts what
we truly want our lives to be like in
2012.

What better gift can I give away
to all my friends and followers
than this book...
























Brand new and
full of shining goodness.
A way to begin 2012
with wishes in our hearts.

Please leave a comment
by New Year's Eve and
the superhero will pull a
name out of his magic
hat.  I will send this book
off to the winner along
with some mystery goodness
of my own.

Release, Rest, Replenish
and Renew the who that
you all our during this
holiday time, I so look
forward to meeting you
here in 2012 and feeling
the giant power of your
creativity as it bursts forth
into a new year.

  33. Thank you so much for taking a stand for a judgement-free environment in which to express oneself. For creating a space that is safe and nurturing to our inner need to be oneself and let it all hang out! I don't know if I have ever had a real place like that, and feel the pain of never knowing what it is to really let me show who I am through my art. I look forward to this place you have taken a stand to create for all of us! Perhaps one day I can do a workshop in person. I'd like that. For now we have this virtual place and it rocks! All the best, Rosalie
