Solid faith comes in so many forms. Water, Earth, Air, Fire, and Love. These are the five elements. When we encounter these elements inside of us in the form of faith, it brings balance to the natural worlds around us. So be in your fire. Be in your emotions/water. Ground yourself in the dirt. And let your true voice sing through the sky and wind. We need to reconnect to our elemental roots and through this found solid faith we may find our natural world surviving and our spirits, bodies, minds and souls thriving. - MOON

We walk a path that is ours alone. What we see there is private, like a spiritual secret for us and us only. When we face this reality with an open heart, we begin the journey of self realization and of the true self. - MOON

An Ode to Stars🌟 With the launch of my Star Projector Kickstarter, I took a look back on all the stars that I have painted over the years. There's just something so magical about their unique shape and glow that brings joy to my inner child. My actual childhood was quite traumatic so now I'm making up for all the lost time. Every painted star heals me just a little bit.
