I always loved taking pictures- and did for 35 years - as a profession. Now, I use my cell - it still is a joy to look back though years on my cell phone - 100,000 + photos that sit in there - and with IG since 2011 when they began - my how things have changed 📸✨​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

A favorite book of mine: “A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles.” by Marianne Williamson. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Marianne, says a miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love. She reveals how to open your heart and embrace the path you're meant to take in life." Definitely a great read for understanding relationships.

Ten years ago, I was lucky to attend many of her Monday night lectures in LA and watch her in action guiding others to see themselves in a new light. Miraculous. 💫

A belief is just a thought, thought over and over until it becomes a belief. 🤍​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Are your thoughts serving serving you? You can change your thoughts to more encouraging kind optimistic thoughts - which creates a new feeling in the body- positively changing the chemistry in your body. Think it yet more importantly FEEL it - FEEL IT over and over until the new belief becomes an automatic part of your behavior - and show up in you reality. 👏🏽​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Why feel insignificant - when you can feel significant. Thinking and feeling the desired outcome enables you to achieve the desired outcome. It's dreaming your new beliefs into reality. ✨💫​​​​​​​​

Quiet down your mind and tap into your potential. 🧘🏼‍♀️​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This may sound easy yet, it's the survival mind vs the performance mind. We are hardwired for survival and it can seem hard to shut out ruminating thoughts, mental chatter, unwanted worries and doubts and concerns - pulling you away from the quiet mind - which is so capable of seeing from a broader perspective and producing effective solutions. ✨​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Free yourself from your survival mind - experience hypnosis - and learn to meet challenges with ease. focus and direction. 🌱 ​​​​​​​​

Thanks to my husband, museums and history highlights brought a richness to our Southwest travels. After visiting the Nambe Trading Post, north of Sante Fe and inspired by the incredible and accurate displays of Western movie costumes, created by Cathy Smith, we caught up on all the western movies we had never seen and with a new perspective. 💫

When famous painter Pablo Picasso said this, he critiqued the progressive stripping of creativity and freedom from a person's life as they grow up.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
And "Every child is an artist until he's told he's not an artist". John Lennon.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Sometimes I paint and think its so primitive - until I stop thinking and feel like an artist. 🎨👩‍🎨​​​​​​​​

"The idea that one's relationship with nature can be broken is an illusion. There can be a deep forgetting. But the relationship with nature is never broken because it's who you are."

I've always been in awe of the mountains. They draw me in magnetically and they bring me a subtle peace... and a will to be in their presence.

Relaxing ... and looking at picture books... loving what I am seeing. I was a teenager in the 70's. I love 70's music. A most favorite song from that era, I created in calligraphy at 16 and it is still with me and the words I have resonated in me for the psst 50 years.

Stephen Stills:
What do we do given life?
We move around
Solitude, reach for light
Reach or slide
We move around
One searches for the sake of searching
Clearly then stumbling, falling, lurching
We move around
A superb point of reference detected
Becomes absurd with a moment's reflection
Leaves one a passage of simple thought
Not sagging with excess weight of excess baggage
And we move around
We move around
One thinks then sinks then stands at a brink
Finds a key, instincts of revelation
Drinking in exaltation
We move, we move around
No need to prove
No one around
No one but you
To stand your ground
We move around
Don't you know it's alright to be wrong?
Thus you grow, be amused and be strong
The acceptance of error with grace
Is to refuse to be vain and so afraid of losing face
This fear drives one further into what one thinks
To be a race of life or death
Or simply take another breath of nature's air now
Which is fair now
Which is to be alive
To move around

In order to make change you cannot just THINK it into reality - you must FEEL it into reality. That means you have to use your incredible imagination to IMAGE what PEACE, JOY, HAPPINESS, CONNECTION, LOVE FEEL like. ​​​​​​​​
So many of us lost our ability to feel and imagine at a young age. We become programmed for what we SHOULD THINK.​​​​​​​​

Lets Connect.​​​​​​​​

Here at Amangani, that sense of nature nurtures the urban-weary traveller. The resort’s name is a portmanteau of the Sanskrit word meaning ‘peace’ and the Shoshone Native American word meaning ‘home’. In the mornings, a deep rolling mist streams through the valley, while winter brings up to 500cm of snow, blanketing the landscape with dazzling whiteness.​​​​​​​​

Tree on hillside in the beautiful peninsula of Lustica, Montenegro. My birthday in September 2022. A full day of beaches, swimming, eating, gorgeous scenery and wonderful company.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
A picture has the ability to evoke powerful emotions in a millisecond. The images in your mind elevate your vibrational frequency and seek more of the same energy.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Keep the pictures in your mind beautiful!​​​​​​​​
