The Power of Empathy

Drinking coffee laced with cardamom and rose water, my thoughts are with the women / mothers in war ravaged areas of the Middle East - how keeping their families safe must consume their every thought and every action. The simple act, that we take for granted, of getting together with other women to drink coffee, be creative, discuss any topic of interest... Is simply a far away dream... or quite possibly a dream of a dream.

My belief is that our collective goodwill and positive thoughts and empathy and deep kindness can give these women hope, courage, strength and vision to enact great change. From woman to woman, I am sending out my thoughts, prayers, energy to the women in the Middle East, because I believe we have the power to make the world a safer, kinder place.

Women Dancing!

 

Invisible Bee Yoga - Dance Journey for Women

Thrilled to have one of my paintings celebrated by Invisible Bee Yoga studio in SW Minneapolis!

In designing what looks like a really fun yoga dance class, the instructor felt a connection to my painting (she saw it on Etsy) and approached me with the idea of using it to promote her class.

When I read her class description for 'Dance Journey for Women', I knew these women and I were meant to dance together!

If you are in the SW Minneapolis area - you just HAVE to check out this class (and tell them I sent you!)

Nuno Felt Scarf - Rainbow Stones

This one was created in a number of steps starting with a pre-felt skin in colors flowing from teal to chartreuse to orange.

Nuno Felt Shawl - Shades of Grey

A happy accident... the light grey silk started out as white, but turned grey during the felting process from the excess dye in the wool fiber. I'm glad!
