Yesterday, I recorded a podcast conversation with Yesterday, I recorded a podcast conversation with @mahoganeeamiger of @responsibleartistry regarding “The Responsibility of Voice.” This recording will air Wednesday, January 20th on #TheChrysalisExperience. 🎙🦋🎙 I find it quite interesting that an ugly display of gross misuse of Voice took place in our nation’s capitol today. It’s confirmation that this conversation needs to be heard. Also, notice in this video clip I am saying, “The power of the voice.” I say that because it’s true. Mark your calendars...I hope you’ll join us. #TheResponsibilityOfVoice #TheChrysalisExperience #NewEpisodeComingSoon #Voice #VoiceIsPowerful

“The impulse to connect the dots - and to share “The impulse to connect the dots - and to share what you've connected - is the urge that makes you an artist.” ~Amanda Palmer

My 2021 word of the year is #FREEDOM. I always pra My 2021 word of the year is #FREEDOM. I always pray and ask God for my word. And He is always faithful to answer. After I receive my word, I immerse myself in it. I seek out its definition and read scripture surrounding it. This year in addition to scripture and definitions, I have found myself drawn to my all-time favorite poem, “Song of the Open Road” by Walt Whitman. Especially stanzas 1 and 5. This poem oozes Freedom. It excites me. I can feel the emotion behind every word. 🦋🦋🦋 “1 Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road, Healthy, free, the world before me, The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose.” 🦋🦋🦋 “5 From this hour I ordain myself loos’d of limits and imaginary lines, Going where I list, my own master total and absolute, Listening to others, considering well what they say, Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating, Gently,but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me. I inhale great draughts of space, The east and the west are mine, and the north and the south are mine.” 🦋🦋🦋 What’s your focus word for this year? #2021wordoftheyear #wordoftheyear #focusword
“It’s very hard to have ideas. It’s very har “It’s very hard to have ideas. It’s very hard to put yourself out there, it’s very hard to be vulnerable, but those people who do that are the dreamers, the thinkers and the creators. They are the magic people of the world.” ~Amy Poehler #Dream #Create #BeMagical #abbracadabra What’s your magic? What are you dreaming of?
“When you know yourself, you are empowered. When “When you know yourself, you are empowered. When you accept yourself, you are invincible.” ~@tinalifford I don’t know that the processes of knowing and accepting yourself can be done in one fell swoop. I think, quite possibly, it is done bit by bit...little by little...one beautiful trait at a time. I can recall a time when I kept my drawings secret...a time when I thought my artistry to be unworthy of attention or voice. But then, I came to know myself as an artist. I liked her. And I was indeed empowered. And the more I explored and shared my talents, I began to accept myself as an artist. And I became invincible. 🦋 What is something you both came to know and accept about yourself? 🦋#art #pencildrawing #tinalifford #knowyourself #acceptyourself #iamanartist #voice
I've never been comfortable with conforming to onl I've never been comfortable with conforming to only one facet of myself. The world inside of me is multidimensional. My heart would slow down if I did not honor them all. To choose only one side would mean turning my back on the rest. For me, there is no growth in that. My dimensions give me depth. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋 How do you honor the many facets of you? #YouAreADiamond #Shine #GiveVoiceToItAll
