Mary Jo's Cloth Store in Gastonia, NC
YOU MUST GO HERE!
Really.
Mary Jo's Cloth Store
is seriously
some sort of
heaven
or Mecca
or something!
Even if you don't sew.
I don't sew, and yet
everytime i walk through the door
I almost stroke out.
(It's just down the street from my house...)
Really.
It rocks.
Go now.
I don't know why I am trying to write
down
ways
like this.
Been reading too much
of Matt's Blog I guess...
Peace,
Teal

Art Therapy and Children with Cancer
Below is a terrific article on the way MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas is using art to help children with cancer express their feelings and cope with their illnesses. The Children's Art Project is an inspirational program full of amazing young artists. You can even purchase some of their gorgeous art as cards and gifts.
http://www2.mdanderson.org/depts/oncolog/articles/03/12-dec/12-03-2.html
Expressing ourselves through art is a primal force and I have witnessed its ability to transform even the most dark and negative emotions into creative expression and light, in my own life, and in the lives of the many children I used to teach.
If you, or someone you love is struggling with cancer, another illness or just with life in general seek out a program in your area that uses Art as Therapy and transform your feelings into a new beginning.

This necklace was handmade by me and contains beautiful chunks of amethyst (which symbolizes the spirit), Indian crow beads, and Czech glass. The center pendant is a pewter Celtic cross. The necklace is 15.5 inches long and has a safety clasp. Jewelry making is a meditation for me and I infuse all the pieces I make with good energy and light for those who wear them.How do I win?

Releasing Your Creativity Through Yoga and Art
Those of you who know me, know I am both a yogini and an artist. So, I am always interested to see how other yogi/artists are bringing my two favourite things together.
I found a GORGEOUS site today, from a Kundalini yogini (yogini, is a female yogi, if you didn't know already:-) and artist Hari Kirin Kaur Khalsa.
Her site www.artandyoga.com is an amazing portal into her artwork, teaching as a Kundalini yoga teacher, and her workshops that combine art and yoga. She has workshops coming up at the Kripalu Center, in Lexox, MA (where I did my yoga certification training, and one of my favorite places on earth), and many other venues.
Check out her site for details, and find a new way to increase your creativity by taping into the focus, stillness and opening of inner intuition that yoga provides.
