Free Yourself and Tap Into Your Soul Purpose and Wisdom By Creating Art: Featuring Colleen Talbot
There are so many gem tidbits in this conversation that will connect, inspire and relate with many of you ~ whether you are naturally interested in art or not. Colleen Talbot offers very useful advice to brand new painters ~ including how to choose colors at the start of a painting, the usefulness of setting an intention for each piece and to be lighthearted about the process ("this is not going into the Louvre", she jokes).
Colleen emphasizes how creating art can be absolutely transforming and healing and how it helps us connect with our Soul (or higher knowing). It's really about the process of creation, not the end result. Many of us know this rationally; however integrating this knowledge and experiencing it in our approach to life is pretty amazing.

Recognize Your Power, Claim and Erase Shame and Celebrate Your Healing Journey
Jess shares a personal issue she’s been working on - claiming her shame over her age (as posted in her birthday Instagram post last week) in terms of viewing herself as a failure. As minor as it may seem (and as much as she has already shamed her shame for years!), it is through our personal healing that we empower others to awaken and heal. This requires courage and we’re all capable of moving forward in this way (no, it’s not easy - but it, and you, are worth it).
By first acknowledging our issues and then taking steps toward owning them we are already having a tremendous positive impact. Self-awareness is the first step. And while healing isn’t linear, each and every step with intention in the direction of our personal healing unlocks healing in someone else. Our ripple is so powerful. Let’s celebrate our awareness and our journeys as we continue to liberate ourselves, heal and evolve. No judgment - only love. We’re in this together and together we all win.
