Crazy
With the current state of affairs, my painting still carries weight.
In The Artist’s Way, Julia Cameron states that “Crazymakers are those personalities that create storm centers” and provides a comprehensive description and analysis of their poisonous nature. Another good book is The Sociopath Next Door. I haven’t yet read anything on the combination of narcissistic sociopaths and psychopaths and the shared similar core traits of anti-social personality disorder (ASPD).
It’s glaringly obvious that there’s a prevalence of these empathy-devoid humans operating in high leadership positions worldwide. Are we rapidly moving to a saturation point? How many more wars and pathological callousness will we tolerate?
Ravages Of A Relationship
This was not the “giddy up” I imagined—that The Year of the Fire Horse would begin with the United States and Israel initiating war, bombing Iran, destroying and killing so many. Wiping out a girls’ school, stealing their future, and erasing safe learning spaces in an instant? Unequivocally, this is the antithesis of conscious, enlightened leadership.
I’m moved to repost my Ravages of a Relationship. Although I painted it during the divorce, it pertains to any relationship where patriarchy, dominance and control, sexism, racism, and elitism are in play to maintain power hierarchies. As I live in America, I have a relationship with the current deranged, evil, misogynistic leader and administration. And, globally, everyone else does too as we’re all interconnected and experiencing the ravages. Suspenseful times is an understatement!
Giddy-up!
2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese zodiac starting today. It’s a dynamic period, “Bringing themes of freedom, bold action, passion, and progress, with the fire element adding intensity and drive for change.” Further, from HorseDream USA, “A time of power, speed, clarity, and breakthrough. The horse symbolizes confidence, action, and forward motion.”

Super Bowl Half-time Show
I love Bad Bunny! As I don’t speak Spanish, I didn’t understand a word he sang. It didn’t matter, though, because his show was strikingly artistically riveting and brilliant. I immensely enjoyed the jubilant celebration of life, culture, and his messages of inclusion. I danced the whole time.
Happy New Year
May we all shed our lower-vibrational, ego-driven patterns and ascend in consciousness.
Highly Evolved
Merry Christmas
A most treasured, universal gift I received last night:
"Wake Up Everybody"
I need to repost this song (8/16/17.) The majority of people in the United States of America need to break free from their twisted religious doctrines, ignorance, hypocrisy, and wake up to the reality of what this country has been, is, and who’s running it. From my observation, we are in a severe state of moral decadence—what’s perfectly on display are the ills of patriarchy, elitism, sexism, racism, and extreme capitalism. Greed, power, corruption, and inequality reign! Is our plight to hit rock bottom before there’s a glimmer of hope for positive transformation, human decency, and an awareness that we are all connected to something far greater? As it’s still playing out, we’ll see.
In just reading actor and comedian Rob Schneider’s X post on 12/14 responding to thingamabob’s grotesquely inappropriate rantings about the murders of Rob Reiner, he says, “Human beings Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle have been tragically killed today. I am deeply saddened. Every life is sacred and given by God, our creator.” As a staunch supporter of thingamabob in the oval office, how can you state these words and condone annihilating our rights, disappearing people, jeopardizing lives world-wide, destroying the justice system, hypocritical beliefs and actions—pro-life and pro-guns or anti-abortion and anti gun control, and the pervasive flagrant criminality? I find the dishonesty, sanctimony, and self-righteousness to be repulsive.
