On episode 47, we have a bit of a longer show for you today, with so many creative projects on the go, everything from T-shirts, to contemplating drawing to what it means to keep a journal!
The practice of creating a dreamboard The Studio Way invites more of what you desire into your life while serving as a powerful tool of creative self-reflection. Dreaming in tandem with the phases of the moon helps us deepen our practice, learning the lessons of each moon and developing our Year of Dreams.
Over more than a decade of this practice, I have learned to make dreamboards that are not only manifestation magnets (which they are!) but also powerful reflecting pools. Creating a dreamboard with the full moon tunes you into your inner compass, focusing your heart on the true north of your dreams.
To support you in discovering the powerful practice of dreamboarding, I’ve created a series of workshops, rooted deeply in moon cycles, creativity and magic, rooted in my deep belief in dreams and in you.
For each cycle of the moon, the Year of Dreams series offers a workshop that will guide you through creating your dreamboard under the specific influence of the upcoming Full Moon (e.g. Full Snow Moon, Full Worm Moon, Full Pink Moon). Every monthly offering will include not only the moon-specific workshop but also the How to Make a Dreamboard the Studio Way lesson so that we are all creating in the same context and on the same sacred ground. Once you’ve registered for your workshop, you will have access to it for the lifetime of this offering at the studio. You can return again and again under this full moon to connect to your dreams.
On every New Moon, I will launch a new workshop that will guide you in creating your dreamboard under the specific influence of the upcoming Full Moon (e.g. Full Snow Moon, Full Worm Moon, Full Pink Moon). Every monthly offering will include not only the moon-specific workshop but also the How to Make a Dreamboard the Studio Way lesson so that we are all creating in the same context and on the same sacred ground. Once you purchase your first Year of Dreams workshop, you will receive a coupon giving you access to a special price for every workshop this year.
That is the question we will be focusing on for this workshop. From the moment you arrive, that question will start to steep in your heart. Clues will begin to bubble as you gather your materials, holding the question in your heart. As you step into the creative process, you will start to engage with your dreams. When you enter the circle with the Full Pink Moon, you will have the opportunity to discover the messages she has for you. In that moment, you will create a dreamboard that will become a manifestation magnet but that will also serve as a reflecting pool, helping you discover the dreams in your heart – and the parts of yourself – that want to emerge.
A Note About Timing: When you register, you’ll have immediate access to this program and everything you need to know in order to create your dreamboard for the Full Flower Moon.
Years ago, sitting in my mom’s living room, hanging out with Mom and my sisters, cutting and gluing, dreaming, chatting, I had no idea that a life-changing practice had entered into my life.
Who would imagine that a simple, creative activity could open up the door to my dreams?
I know it will do the same for you!

You are a poet. You are a poem. Inside you and all around you are the words of your heart, your story, your truth. In this workshop, we’ll delight in being collectors, gathering to us words that touch our souls. We will play with words as though they were colours, looking for magical combinations that unlock the door to the part of your creative heart that is alive with poetry – even if you’ve never fallen in love with poetry before. You will learn a process that you can use again in again to find inspired, personal words for your creative work.
Today we said goodbye to the sweetest cat I have ever known. He was my furry nephew, my sister Shannon’s constant companion. He was full of love and purrs and friendliness. He was the most laidback cat you could imagine. You could move him around on the floor with your foot like he was a mop. That doesn’t mean he wasn’t mischievous! He’d sit on Shannon’s alarm clock, turning it off, lick her eyelashes while she was sleeping and more than a few Facebook updates were written by his keyboard steps.
I’ll always remember how he would groom my face like I was a cat.
Dear sweet Gobo, also known as “Mr Man” will be missed. We loved him dearly.

I have always loved cats and I’m always delighted to make a new friend. Luckily for me, I seem to meet them everywhere I go! I’ve decided to capture these precious moments with my camera in a series called #catsinthehood on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
Today: In the past 24 hours, life has offered much of its full spectrum, from joy to heartbreak. I’m being with it all.
