Letting Go and Divine De-Cluttering...

If life is a work of art, than how is your canvas looking at the moment? Lately I feel like the energy is stuck in certain areas of my life, it feels like inertia. I know that many of you have experienced this before. It has forced me to really take inventory of my life including my physical belongings. A cluttered environment leads to a cluttered mind.

So I ask you this...what are you still holding on to that no longer serves you? It can be a repetitive negative thought, friendships that have outgrown themselves, clothes that no longer fit, old bills stuffed in drawers, fears around relationships or goals and even self-destructive habits. Starting Monday, we are upon the new month of February. What is your intention for February? Write it down.

I am asking you to take this upcoming weekend and get rid of the things you no longer want. Recycle, make donations, affirm to the universe that you lovingly let go of things that have no purpose for you any more. I promise that you can only benefit from this. I want to create the space for beautiful things to grow, but obviously the space has to be there in my heart, my mind, my environment and my soul. Who is with me?

I embrace change...welcome 2010!!!

I adore the beginning of the year because everyone is filled with optimism. It's a matter of maintaining the momentum and consistently acting upon what we know we need to get done in order to move forward in our lives. This is why I decided to make health & fitness a priority this year. Without a strong body, we can not do the things that feed our souls! I challenge you to write down 5 things that feed your soul and make these things a priority for the next 12 months. See where this takes you.

Some projects are in the undertaking here soon for me. I will be dabbling in graphic design again as I now have brand new software, something I have wanted for awhile. You have to love manifestation! I have also constantly started journaling again, my goal is write a book this year, this time it won't be a children's book. I purchased a beautiful pink leatherbound journal and I let everything spill out in it whether it be complete mental garbage or sweet poetry. I promise you that it's the cheapest form of therapy you can find!

I still offer Life Coaching, intuitive readings, and artwork for those who are interested. I can even incorporate these 3 to get you started off on the right foot for 2010. Please email me if you have any questions about this.

Just a reminder, if you have a little girl, she might enjoy my children's book "The Moon Princess", it's not too late to order a copy:

Very Exciting News!!

The latest development is that I have taken a position with Sessions Online School of Art and Design as a Student Advisor. I will be headed for New York City soon in order to complete my training. I am very excited and honored to have this opportunity to work for a prestigious school that helps various types of artists & designers to achieve their dreams. This position combines my two favorite elements: helping people achieve success and art. The universe works in mysterious ways, does it not?

I have 2 commissioned paintings that I completed recently, they both are very similar (feline theme). The first one is Sehkmet, the Egyptian lion headed goddess. She turned out to be gentle and wise. It is a 24 x 36 acrylic on canvas.


The second one is a pet portrait which is an 11 x 14 acrylic on canvas:


I will probably be taking a break from painting for a little while and focusing more on my new career. Eventually, I would like to put into action my ideas for a new book. That will develop in 2010, I am certain. Wish me well and I would love to hear feedback.

Transformation...

I just went through a major upheaval in my life and haven't been around in awhile. However, I am all settled in now in a new living space and I am basically starting over again. I hope to get the creative juices flowing soon. Before I moved, this was the last painting I completed:

(I have always had respect for scorpions because they are so small yet so powerful.)




Thanks to everyone who has been supportive to me throughout my process. You are all greatly appreciated.

The Moon Princess is Now Available!

Here is a free preview of the book...

it's all about trying new things...

Since the summer has hit (it's already summer if you live in Arizona) I have felt a sense of new beginnings. I'd like to step outside the box and have some adventures. An adventure can be large or small...it can mean taking a risk, doing something you swore you would never do before, engaging in a new hobby, or taking a trip to a place you've never laid eyes on. I went to San Francisco for the first time in mid May and I fell in love with the city and the nearby ocean. I also got to see the Muirwoods and touch a redwood tree which has been a lifelong dream for me.


My latest piece of art is an animal portrait. This is the first time I have painted a picture of someone's pet and it was really fun to do. The painting is 11 x 14.


If anyone would like a pet portrait please email me at hrbrabant@yahoo.com and send me a hard copy photo of your animal. I can give a quote based on the size of the painting.
