How are you? Are you busy with graduations, weddings, or other big life events? I hope this email finds you well and smiling with new hope for what’s ahead.

I just returned from Taos, New Mexico where a group of incredible human beings took a giant leap exploring their creative process. During the 9 days we spent together, I was very inspired by their courage for moving into the unknown and their desire to be free from their limiting mental restrictions.

As is always the case, the brightness of their eyes starts to shine when they grant themselves permission to paint what comes naturally. The bright eyes are also fueled by the surprise of what happens when they get out of our own way.

Isn’t that true for all of us? When we get out of our own way, we connect to a vibrant aliveness that resides inside us. Who doesn’t want to experience that more? Nothing is impossible from that connection.

My intention for the workshop was for it to be “Life-Giving.” At the end of the workshop, each person was shining in their own brilliance. When I see this happen, I know the problems this world faces will be solved by people, just like these.

Thank you to everyone!

Sending smiles,

Cherie Ray
