hello beautiful beings ❤️
welcome to my new page, Destiny’s Creation.
a place for me to share my art with you.
it’s been a long time coming! the truth is that i’ve been resisting. rather emphatically.
isn’t it funny how something that might feel quite simple and natural to some people, feels so big and daunting to others? what so many of you have probably done without much hesitation, has felt to me like a massive obstacle. it is because of this that i know it is also a major opportunity for expansion.
i’ve been frozen in limbo. stuck in my own way. dare i say…complacent.
and while my desire for this creation has been present for maaaaany years, the reality of my own resistance has been stronger.
that is, until now! complacency is one of my biggest fears in life and the idea of settling for mediocrity makes me wanna puke. the thought of allowing myself to stay small and play it safe makes me wanna explode 💥
ahhhhhhhhhh!
and yet, here i’ve been. screaming inside. floating in space. feeling directionless. questioning my path. questioning my worth. questioning whether the world wants my art. questioning what it is im meant to do in this life. taking the easy road that has kept me limited.
whether it was fear or a simple lack of motivation that fueled this deep resistance, i don’t really know. probably some of both. and i still have questions! the point is i’m here now. moving through it. and allllllllll of that resistance has been part of the journey leading me to this place. a place for my art to live. a creation to house my creations 💫
i don’t know where this will lead, and how exciting is that?!?!?! for the journey never really ends, does it? lucky for me, i love a good ride :)
the year of the Fire Horse is here hallelujah jah bless 🙌🏽
i am choosing to ride on with renewed power and belief in myself.
i am choosing to harness this gorgeous, empowered energy and i’m taking my life by the reins! this is me, jumping in the saddle, riding into the eternal flames of my own becoming 🔥🐴🌄
so here we go!
thank you for being here 🫀
come along with me if you please 💋

when all else fails
there is Poetry
there is pen on paper and sunshine on skin in the morning time
there is the smell of coffee and the laughter of friends coming from the kitchen -
warm, familiar, inviting
there is a butterfly dancing in the november air on my front porch steps
there is breath, after breath, after breath
when all else fails
there is Music
there is this body of mine
this flesh, this home
there is Feeling
there is Movement
there is candlelight and the sound of Rain on a cozy night
there is homemade soup
there is freshly baked bread
there is nourishment found in the coming together
when all else fails
there is Ocean
in all her mightly glory
forever making love to the shore
when all else fails
there is Stillness
there is a hand, reaching out to hold mine
there is a heartbeat
steady, shining
forever guiding the way home
when all else fails
there is the undeniable force of human connection
there is Community
there is Togetherness
there is celebration of one another
lifting each other up
cherishing all the ways we are exquisitely unique
when all else fails
i pray to remember there is all ways a choice
and my power
my freedom to choose
can never be taken away by an external force
when all else fails
when.
all.
else.
fails.
love prevails
🕊

a tiny taste of last year
pt. 2 ✨️
i never ever ever
EVERRRRRR
thought id be in charleston for more than a couple months
its been a year and a half
with many trips away sprinkled throughout
but always with a room here of my own
a bed to return to
a home.
and goodness knows i have resisted
and i have suffered in this resistance
struggling to honor that piece of my soul that is longing for something else
that very real pulse in my veins that feels too wild for this place
knowing that there is SO MUCH MORE
and that otherness that i crave
is also craving me
an everpresent call
tugging at my soul strings
come
come
come
yet here i am
trusting that all things come with time
trusting the incubation
the will of the seeds to grow
with water
and sunlight
and water
and sunlight
and the knowingness that this time here and now
with these people
is priceless
special beyond belief
and oh so fleeting
i believe in the good things coming
🦋
just a tiny taste of last year
pt. 1 ✨️
2023 was kinda rough
honestly
so many moments of deep pain and utter heart break
in my own microcosm of reality
and in the world at large
some of those moments stretched onwards
for days or weeks or months
i often felt stuck
some flavors of pain and anger had me wondering if there is ever truly an end to suffering on this earthly plane
if it ever goes away
if healing and true peace can last
i do believe that it can
i believe that love can wrap it all up
swallow it whole and alchemize the pain into the most beautiful creation
for this though, there must be a willingness to heal
a willingness to forgive
a willingness to evolve
2023 was also utterly transformational
in perhaps the most subtle of ways
rewiring my brain...im still re-writing some of the stories i tell myself
tending to my heart
feeding my soul with every opportunity that feels like truth
the year was full of community gatherings
Sunday potlucks with the homies
sharing food and time and space
nourishment in every way
regular gym dates with the girlies
sauna sweat sessions
so many sunsets
walks on the beach
bike rides and dance parties
utter joy embodied through movement
the introducion of MAGIC HOURS
in utter awe of the talent flowing through my fabulous friends
the universe gifted me @sisterdevi
who offered me sanctuary and friendship
when i needed it the most
a true soul mate bestie who made it all possible
what absolute magic we have made together this year
i luv the vibe we create
not to mention the dancefloor with you is where i wanna be
ultimately
i am grateful for it all
for somehow, i all ways return to gratitude
heart so full
despite her explosions into nothingess everything-ness
full feeling overflowing
❄️❄️❄️
a village called sunshine
covered in snow
a sea of clouds
into the unknown
how many worlds within this one
micros in the macro
how many ways to live a life
how many ridges in the sugar-capped mountians
how many breaths do i get to breathe this time around
the sun sets behind the peaks
there is snow all around me
it feels like
wide
quiet
peace
a new friend
an understanding of the surrender and the resilience that is inherent in winter
the season of softness and the stoking of spirit fire
a lesson in commitment
for somethings never die
a stark, stunning landscape
tricks of light at play
clouds shift
shape and shadow
paint the picture
the sky
the earth
everything
changing form
something different
something new
pine and powder and sun-buttered wisps
stretch and sweep in every direction
the mountains solid, ancient
so spectacularly
lounging upon the land
the evergreens, ever-reaching
reaching
reaching for the light
taking it all in
here i am
in surrender to the fullness that is all around
and in that state, there is space
an emptiness that allows for absorption
feeling
becoming
everything
all of it
all at once
the presence of the moment
the tiny spec in the vast expanse
the something that makes everything
and eventually
i find myself flying
flying on the snow
through the mountians
in absolute awe
and deep reverence
with a wild grin on my lips
for this gift
❄️❄️❄️
