"This work is unlike any other, in its range of rich, conjuring imagery and its dexterity, its smart voice. Carroll-Hackett doesn’t spare us—but doesn’t save us—she draws a blueprint of power and class with her unflinching pivot: matter-of-fact and tender." —Jan Beatty

Daily Prompt <3 Yogananda on Opportunity

18 June 2016

“Opportunities in life come by creation, not by chance. You yourself, either now or in the past (including the past of former lives), have created all opportunities that arise in your path. Since you have earned them, use them to the best advantage.” ― Paramahansa Yogananda

Make art about opportunity, about creating your own opportunity.

My Dream of Retreat with The International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers

So I never imagined myself doing crowdfunding, but the chance of attending this retreat means more to me than I can even begin to say. The work toward Peace and Justice and Love these amazing women do have inspired me daily for more than a decade. So endless gratitude to those who have shared or given. Your support means more than I can ever say ❤ 

And We’re almost there! You guys are amazing! So kind and so generous! ❤Thank you sooo much!

So much of the Thirteen Grandmothers’ work is about healing, but healing is work that we all can do, in every moment, in every interaction we have with each other, and no action is too small. When you hold the door for your sister or brother, when you smile at a child or a dog or a flower, when you forgive another, or yourself, even in those fleeting passing pleasantries you exchange in the coffee aisle at the grocery store, in those small kindnesses, healing power is present. And we need that healing power–your healing power–even more now than ever.

“You are the embodiment of the Grace and the Spirit and the Wisdom of the Ages. You are the Light of the World.”

I’m so grateful to know you are in this world ❤

Daily Prompt <3 On What's Dear ;-)

6 June 2016

I have a special affection for deer, for many reasons. I sit out on my little stoop and they slip like shadows from the woods, all velvet eyes and dancer feet, and they let me enjoy their company, their beauty, as they browse and graze through the section of the yard I leave wild just for them, what my kids call ‘Deer Diner.’ I planted them a persimmon tree there in that corner a couple of years ago, and I leave them three cups of corn daily 🙂 paying my rent for sharing this little wooded four acres that their kind occupied long before my house was built. I love them more than I can articulate. Their presence brings me into a place of peace like no other animal. I think they understand this 🙂 

Make art about deer. Or about what in nature brings you peace.
