Michelle your writing here mirrors my journaling today. Wishing to find my tribe of kind, soft hearted people who appreciate creativity and the natural beauty of our planet. Finding them in person hasn’t been easy as a working artist who retired from the marketing and consumerism platitudes one has to navigate to stay afloat. I lost my art making for a long while due to the fatigue of it all. I am now learning to find my way back to the joy of creating “what I want, how I want, when I want.” On my own terms. Just for me. After all Dandelions are the original stubborn ladies who are medicinal in nature, healthy in nutrients and gorgeous in all their blooming stages. From youthful bud to colorful blooms and to their mature white/silver haired seed heads. Much like us ladies, all three stages of femininity.
I LOVE the image of dandelions as stubborn ladies, resilient, medicinal, nourishing and gorgeous in all their stages. I am NEVER going to see dandelions the same way again. Thank you so, so much for sharing.
Oh, Michelle.....I wait for your posts to arrive in the email. The honesty and beauty of your words cut through the daily ick. Please continue to use your gift of writing...you are a brave woman and we need your voice.
This is absolutely beautiful, dear Friend ❤️. Thank you so much for taking a stand and sharing these thoughts. Yes, EVERYTHING is political. Whether we like it or not. Covering up evil in the name of Christianity is abominable, not only to us Jesus followers, but also to God Himself.
I’m so grateful you took the risk and penned these words. Your voice carries so much wisdom, honestly and love. It’s a gift. Thank you for sharing - always.
“But this writer has ink in her marrow. And deep determination in her soul to use her words and time on this earth to create a space where wonder is a path back to ourselves and one another in a distracted, divided, and disconnected world.”
Oh, dear heart. Such a heavy day and yes, it all gets to be too much sometimes. But I see you. I see your courage, your warrior will, your hope and heart. Everything you’re putting out to us matters. Those tiny ripples are the most powerful force in the universe right now. Every artist, every creative, every maker on Earth needs to keep on keeping on…because I believe each individual vibration is adding to a building wave formed with other ripples. And soon there will be a shock wave, a quake, a tsunami of light that will bring that old, dark, masculine mountain down, down, down. We will plant seeds in the ashes. Keep the faith.
Lisa, you're welcome! It sure is! I've often said if I can look back on my life and know that I have lived inside of Love and had Love live inside of me... it will have been a great life. Thank you for being here 🥰
Thank you Michele, for your missives. You are certainly NOT alone. I'm sure I speak for many of us "out here", that what we NEED, is kindness and connection to one another. Thank you for being that kindness and that connection ;c)
Glo, here I am!!!👋🏼!!
Michelle, drawing my chronic pain and soul vibration with your beautiful words and bravery.

You articulated my thoughts about “staying out of politics” so well. Thank you for your words. And yes, love. That’s the whole point, right?
