Be Free

I didn’t paint it with Independence day in mind. Yet, as synchronicity happens, I painted it earlier this week as my self care act/time of the day. It was such a gift to spend a few hours playfully painting with great music after so much time spent working on my book this year. The words were prompted from the lyrics in a song and so many other mysteries and layers of life!

It reminds me how healthy it’s been to explore and express through art. I invite you to join me for a free online art playdate this month and let your heart sing.

This was the first painting of the evening. It flowed fully forth so fast and freely followed by a few more and some dancing. The playlist that randomly came on Pandora during the painting session is shared below:

I’m reminded of some words from a metta prayer that hangs in our home:

“May all beings awaken to
the light of their true nature.
May all beings be free.”

I was inspired to paint that night after a wonderful conversation with a friend I hadn’t seen in over 20 years, Corinne Zupko. We talked about “the light” in each of us, which both of us write about in our books and we’re giving away a copy of each of our books. Corinne is the author of From Anxiety to Love.
