*PHOTO ART* …A New Form of "Messages from the Universe"!

4x4 tile/coaster

5x7 notecard

I recently contemplated the question: what would I like to do if money wasn't my motivation? The thought came to me (from where?!) …wouldn't it be fun to make art from my photographs and essentially give it away for free!?!

So I began brainstorming and realized this would be a wonderful new phase of my Messages from the Universe social creative project. I've been giving away envelopes with a "message from the universe" and a symbolic token of abundance (usually a $1 bill) to random people I have the pleasure of encountering throughout my daily activities for well over a year (since January 2014)... and have distributed far more than 1000 envelopes and about $2200.

It's time to take it a step further and create hand made one-of-a-kind photo art with unique messages to extend inspiration, connection and hope out into the world in the form of a 5x7 notecard or a 4x4 tile/coaster (for now). Each piece will express a unique positive message that I hope will reach the right person who needs that particular reminder or guidance from the Universe.

I have opened a Hug Healer etsy account and will be posting new items regularly to be made available on a first come/first serve basis (one per person, please) to anyone who needs a lift for themselves or a gift for a friend... for a low price to cover my shipping and handling.

My mission and intention is for people to go inward and ask themselves: What gift do I possess that I can share with the world? How can I extend my treasure? What can I do to brighten someone's day? Not only someday, but now in this present moment… a smile or a hug is a perfect start! 

We are all connected and what is good for you is also good for me. We expand into more joy as we share and extend love without conditions or expectations. Happiness is contagious! Spread the love and pay it forward!!


If you feel additionally moved to share and contribute to the continuation of my "Messages from the Universe" project, financial support and expressions of appreciation are welcomed and gladly accepted… just click the "donate" button below. :)

Another way to participate in my project is to request a "pay-it-forward" bundle of 5 envelopes and 5 message from the universe cards where you can insert your own dollar bill and extend the inspiration to anyone you feel move to share with!

Unveiling the 2nd Message from the Universe!!!

I have managed to circulate nearly 500 "Messages from the Universe" cards!! I know this because I am down to my last dozen or so cards from my first order of 500. :) 

It was time to create a new message from the Universe! Wow… what did the Universe want to share through me this time?? What you see above is the result of quieting my mind, opening my heart, and sharing the inspiration that flowed. 

I'm excited to restock my supply of envelopes with cards and cash, go out into the world, and continue to be a conduit for extending Love to as many people as I can! 

I LOVE doing this work! It has become part of my heart and soul, and what I "do" in the world… my job!! :))) I can't imagine doing anything more fulfilling and satisfying in any capacity! Spreading Love, hope and inspiration has been far more wonderful than I could ever have anticipated! 

I am so grateful for the support and encouragement I have received from so many, including 3 generous souls who have donated money to help keep this project going… thank you!!! My desire and intention is to have it continue to expand, grow, and touch more and more people!

YAY!!!! Happy Dance! :D

Imagination Meditation

Affirmation: "I am open and receptive to all the GOOD & ABUNDANCE in the Universe."
- Louise L. Hay ❤

Speaking affirmations is "the practice of positive thinking" in New Age terminology. In this regard, all we are doing is trying to convince ourselves of something we really don't believe!


To truly embody and experience a shift in perspective does not have anything to do with trying to trick ourselves into believing something we don't actually accept as true subconsciously. 


A much easier, authentic, and stress-free approach is to simply imagine what it might feel like to see things differently, while accepting and being honest about your doubts! 

I call this an "Imagination Meditation"

You can say to yourself: "Well, at some level I would like to believe that there is unlimited good and abundance in the universe, but right now that is not my experience in my life, and I probably have some blocks to being able to receive that.... but let me just imagine for a moment what it might feel like to REALLY trust and KNOW that it is true. I realize that there must be some people out there in the world who really do experience this level of trust.... what must it FEEL like to be them?"


Then simply imagine (for a moment) being someone who knows and lives and experiences (beyond the shadow of a doubt) the goodness and abundance that exists in the universe. Close your eyes. IMAGINE if it really was true. FEEL it in your body. PLAY with the idea of seeing things in a new and unfamiliar way. 


Can you feel yourself relax? Can you feel the muscles in your neck and shoulders release? Does your body automatically want to let out a deep sigh of relief? This is simply an exercise in imagination... a "trying on" of a new way of being and thinking... a respite into peace and trust... A way to practice positive thinking without the guilt!! Give it a try with anything you would like to see differently. :)
