When light tells a story.
.
My mother drew this picture for me when I was in massage school 20 years ago. It was drawn from a smaller drawing in my favorite book, The Prophet, by Kalil Gibran. Itâs been hanging in my massage studio ever since. Intuitive people always tell me they feel my mother in the room.
.
Many people would have mistaken her for a housewife. But the truth is she was spectacularly creative. She was an artist and I wish that instead of keeping a perfect house, that she took out her pencils and paints more. I wish I lived in a messy home with her creations strewn about. As she spoke to me through the light across this picture today, I know she is begging me to let go of what I think things need to look like. To create. To cover the table and floor with my writing, my ideas, my passion.
.
I wrote a mini memoir after my fatherâs motorcycle accident. It was an intimate portrayal of not only that time, but of their life together. She must have read it a thousand times. Somehow by writing the story, I completed or preserved or honored something for her. And that was only the beginning. I know she wants me to finish the whole story, as if you really can. She always said, keep writing it Amy. Make it longer Amy. Iâm deeply drawn back to it and hope that this is the year it finds its way to an editor that will help me make it the beautiful story that aches to be told. Thanks for the visit mama. I love you.

Dragonfly message.
.
You are no less divinely constructed than a dragonflyâs wing to be what you came here to be.
.
Was hiking today thinking about control and how my life kind of depends on giving it up where I can (relationships, love, outcomes, fear) and harnessing it where I can (habits, self discipline).
.
The dragonfly is the elemental messenger and spirit guide of change and transformation. They are symbols of how to be both graceful and powerful. So if I can change my relationship to change, and see it as a simple unfolding, then that makes change itself graceful and powerful. If I can accept that I, just like these đœ being, am already divinely perfect, the hard work of change feels less hard. Itâs maturity, itâs spiritual evolution, itâs a beautiful alchemy.
