I am re-inventing myself once again as I leave my podcast producing behind. But I have in the past few years been concentrating on my art.

Permanently closed.

I had to move to rural Australia and I have neither consistent nor strong internet so I can't produce more podcasts. I produce Changing the Face of Yoga podcast - 100th episode releasing next week (22 May 2019).

Between numbness and new life is the ache of awareness. Transitioning captures that fragile shift — when you finally see your future and realize you must live it alone.

🌬️ It’s raw. It’s cold. But it’s real.

A door appeared in the darkness — not out, but through.

The Midnight Door is about the moment when you sense the beginning of change, even if you can’t see it clearly.
🚪Would you walk through?

In stillness, clarity flickers. Midnight Meditations reflects the small shifts — the tiny awakenings — that eventually lead us forward.
💭 What have you learned in the dark?

Grief has its own soundtrack. Midnight Songs is the music of not sleeping, of darkness too thick to move through.

This piece was born from the nights that felt like they might never end.

🌑 If you've sat in the midnight of your life, I see you.

This painting emerged from the rawness of immediate loss — a canvas of collapse. In that moment, everything I knew was gone.
🎨 This is what destruction looked like for me.
🫂 What did it look like for you?

Breathing Curiously is about survival after loss. It’s about how we keep going when breath feels like a foreign language. This work started with my own breath—shallow and unsure—after my husband died.

I invite you to explore your own breath, your own curiosity, your own survival.

Resilience is a quiet power — the heartbeat beneath every challenge. My overall theme for my art is resilience, I explore how individuals, communities, and countries hold themselves together when everything is falling apart.

💬 How do you define resilience?

Thank you to all of the people that came to the exhibition at the Armidale Art Gallery. If you are interested in buying any of the paintings, they will be exhibited until 4 July.

If you were intrigued, take another look and ask yourself what would this do for me if it was in my house? It is a good question to figure out why you want a piece of art.

If you want to talk to me about the art (the people at the Art Gallery can help you buy it), email me at [email protected]

Do you embroider, knit do woodwork, paint, make pottery, and on and on or want to learn?

Many individuals begin a journey to become adept at type(s) of arts and crafts as they explore experiences to find their purpose. I believe in making beauty which I do with my painting and gardening which is core to my purpose.

Learning a new skill is always exciting (after the frustration) and gives you a senses of accomplishment.

Does this spark any ideas that you might like to try? Like and comment if so.

Art aficianados enjoying the art exhibition - Dementia Dreams - which is available for perusing and buying at the Armidale Art Gallery on the mall in Armidale until 4 of July.

I no longer volunteer, but I did serve on boards when I first retired.

Many people can use their career skills to assist non-profits and receive a satisfaction in helping their community. This is another area that can provide new insights and to meet new people.

Have or do you plan on volunteering? Leave a like if so.

Building new experiences

I travelled to Uzbekistan last year and it was fabulous.
Uzbeki’s are the epitome of resilience; they have been conquered by the Mongols, Alexander the Great, India, Islam and most recently, Russia. They keep what they feel is helpful for them from each of these conquerors and discard those ideas that do not fit with their culture.

I have great admiration for them. We visited and participated in many artistic endeavours and it was great fun.

It also gave me many ideas for my art and I have a body of work to start soon. Since I have travelled extensively, there is something to learn from every culture.

Having travel companions that are compatible and interesting deepens the experience.

Are you a fellow traveller? Follow and share if you are.

Yoga Teacher to Podcaster

I have fully transitioned from teaching to expanding my yoga podcast - Changing the Face of Yoga. I have had great comments on the yoga podcast; teachers are feeling connected with each other and illustrate other aspects of yoga beyond the asana. The podcast guests talk about their passion and how they guide their students. Using their unique knowledge, experience, and passion, they bring yoga to a students with a variety of needs, wellness levels and fitness. Interested in listening to the podcast: bit.ly/CTFOY ?
