"Open to Life"
Released Dec 2, 2011

Inspired by a small sketch during a moments quiet reflection, a painting, a poem and a pendant have emerged.  I welcome them as invitation, as reminder, aspirations for life and living 2012 and beyond.

The poem speaks for itself, let it reach in, touch you.

Sterling silver, 'Open to Life,' pendant as talisman, the rise of the Divine feminine in each of us, an invitation to open to the fullness of life's experience, take flight.
