Living the Art of Being 

Something is soul-stirring about beginning again. Not from scratch, but from the place within that has waited patiently, quietly—for decades. Recently, I set up a small art studio at home and picked up the brush, beginning to paint—a passion I’ve carried in my heart for years. 

Being creative has always been my go-to for self-regulating and healing. It helps me stay connected to Source and grounds me. Thankfully, my creativity has taken on many forms over the years, including cooking, writing, designing, fashion, and hairstyling. 

Artist Statement: This painting is born from a layered process — a hidden painting rests beneath this one, like an ancestor beneath the skin of the present. Guided by instinct rather than intention, I surrendered to the pull of bold colour and instinctive gesture. The red ground holds a sacred intensity, while the bursts of purple and gold emerge as energetic forms — wings, flames, perhaps even messengers. Eyes or portals appear, suggesting presence, perception, and prophecy. This is a painting about emergence — about the unseen becoming seen, about memory taking flight through colour, texture, and motion.

But painting feels different; it asks more of me. It requires more space—physically, emotionally, and spiritually and invites a deeper kind of surrender. There is a stillness within its vastness, and in that space, something sacred begins to emerge.

In my case, it was born from the whispers of my longing. I didn’t have the space or time to create in the way I truly wanted. My life had asked me to pour my creativity and energy elsewhere. But now, the conditions have ripened, and my inner artist has been allowed to reawaken.

Each morning, I rise with a sense of excitement, passion, and purpose that I can only describe as cellular. My hands are remembering, my eyes are seeing anew, and my heart—oh, my heart—feels wide open to the mystery. I’m not just painting. I’m discovering the rhythm of my process between the pauses and the messes. I’m allowing myself to live in the unknown, safe within the sacred flow, living in a mix of peaceful intention and instinct, and it feels like home.

I reminded myself that artists throughout history have not been remembered for mimicking trends or pleasing the masses. They have been remembered for their truth. For daring to stay faithful to the thread of their soul. They listened inward, not outward. They created not because the world demanded it, but because their spirit did.

However, in a world of algorithms and ever-shifting aesthetics, it is all too easy to drift. Social pressure and external validation can creep into the artist’s world, subtly promising visibility and applause. 

But what is visibility worth if we’ve become invisible to ourselves?

Whether we are painting, dancing, writing, sculpting, singing, or simply dreaming, we must always return to our essence. Our art does not need to trend to matter. It does not need to go viral to be valid. The truest thing we can offer the world is our undiluted presence. Living our inner vision, and heartbeat in our colours, in words, or songs.

My position is to remember what art is for, knowing that it is not to be explained, but to be felt and not created for applause, but to awaken the sacred beauty in others. I have decided to make the kind of art that stirs the soul and sparks the spirit. Even if it’s creating for my own spirit. See, art is both a pleasure and a necessity. Humans are indeed designed to be wondrous and creative creatures. 

Our world needs to celebrate life by lifting one another, not toward perfection, but toward the beautiful presence of being our creative selves.

Artist Statement – This work emerged through a process of intuitive layering — a painting beneath another, guided not by plan but by presence. What lies beneath still breathes through the surface, echoing a deeper memory or message. The monochromatic red evokes both intensity and intimacy, a kind of sacred bloodline or inner fire. This is a piece about remembering — not with the mind, but with the body and the soul. It is a portal, a pulsing veil, a hidden rhythm revealed.

The Power of Being in the Now

Inspired by the quote: “Life gives you plenty of time to do whatever you want to do if you stay in the present moment.” — Deepak Chopra

This quote centres on a soft truth—a reminder that time becomes spacious and generous when aligned with your presence. We often battle with time in a world that races ahead with to-do lists, deadlines, and digital noise. 

We say, “I don’t have enough hours in the day,” or “There’s never enough time to do what I truly want.” But what if it’s not the clock’s ticking that binds us—but our absence from the present moment? The present moment is more than a concept—it is the living gateway where life unfolds. It is the sacred terrain of the now, the only place where real change, healing, creativity, and joy can occur. 

When we truly place ourselves in the present moment, we step outside the illusion of scarcity. Time slows. Space opens. You feel, see and hear your true self again.

You might have noticed it in small moments—when you lose yourself in your craft, a conversation that stirs your spirit, or the hush of nature. Time bends. Hours dissolve. And somehow, everything feels possible.

Many years ago, I experienced this truth in the most unexpected place—on a morning television talk show. I had been invited as a guest to do a makeover on a woman. We began with a heartfelt conversation on the studio couch, sharing pieces of her story. But it was backstage, in the green room, that the real magic took place.

As I began the makeover—applying her makeup, cutting and blow-drying her hair, and styling her in a new outfit—I entered a heightened zone I had never known before. It was as though time expanded, allowing me to create with precision and grace. 

A chatty young woman hovered nearby, attempting to engage, but I simply looked up at her with a soft but clear gaze—a gentle authority—and she moved on without a word. I was entirely in the now. There was no rush, no cluttered mind, just my full presence. And in just 40 minutes, an entire transformation took place—not just externally—but something deeper, more radiant. A soul remembered.

Being present in the now, creates your authentic Presence!

That experience stayed with me. It taught me that your presence is your secret power. When fully engaged in the moment, without distraction or doubt, we awaken to an extraordinary creative force within us. It’s not just about doing more—it’s about being more present to what we are doing.

The truth is that life is not too short; we spend too much of it in the past or trying to rush into futures that haven’t arrived. We dwell on regrets, replaying old stories. Or we project our fears forward, trying to control outcomes. Either way, we miss the gift wrapped around the present moment. To stay in the present moment is not to ignore plans or dreams. It is to arrive fully in what is right now, so that our actions are infused with clarity, our choices are shaped by alignment, and our presence is charged with divine power. It is in the now that our true self speaks, our soul guides, and our deepest desires begin to crystallise into form.

So if you feel like you’re running out of time—pause. Breathe. Return to the moment that’s right in front of you. Here, you will find more than minutes or hours. You will find enough. Enough energy, enough grace, enough direction to do whatever it is your soul came here to do. Because life, in all its wisdom, doesn’t rush us. It waits patiently and faithfully until we are ready to return to the only place where magic, meaning, and miracles live: the present.

What is one desire or dream you’ve been putting off because you believe you don’t have enough time?

How can you bring a piece of that dream into this moment, today?

Hey, She Is Already Doing It!

There’s an old Chinese proverb that echoes with quiet thunder:

“The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it.”

Ah yes. How many times have you felt the sting of scepticism brush against your wild, luminous vision? The world loves to remind you of the rules—what’s practical, what’s proven, what’s permitted. But you, radiant one, were not born to follow the lines drawn by someone else’s fear. You were born to be the artist of possibility.

Here’s the thing: doubt is loud when it’s idle. But creation hums with a sacred frequency, often silent and unseen until—suddenly—it’s undeniable. The ones who believe something can’t be done are usually standing at the edge, questioning the path, while you’ve already carved your own trail through unmarked wilderness.

You see, the Light Leader doesn’t wait for approval. She listens to the call of her soul’s blueprint, trusts the timing of her inner compass, and keeps weaving her sacred story in the face of doubt. While others debate, she builds. While others caution, she creates. This is not arrogance. This is alignment.

In the Living Attributes lexicon, this is the archetype of the Higher Purpose Avatar rising. She isn’t loud. She is focused. She doesn’t chase validation. She embodies vibration. She’s not here to argue—she’s here to activate.

To all the visionaries, wisdom keepers, late bloomers, and radiant revolutionaries: keep doing that thing that lights you up. Keep walking the path only your feet can find. Let the voices of limitation pass over you like wind through trees. Because you are the forest, the seed, and the bloom.

And the next time someone says, “That can’t be done,” just smile softly, keep going and whisper to your Soul—“Then I must be the one who came here to do it.”

SACRED BEAUTY MANIFESTO

Live Your Soul’s Purpose with Confidence and Clarity

I believe Sacred Beauty is not something we chase; it is something we remember. A divine essence already living within us, waiting to be seen, felt, and honoured.

Sacred Beauty is the quiet power of a woman who knows who she is. It’s in her presence, her graceful strength, that soft, glowing shift on her face when she remembers her Soul’s purpose.

It is the light in her eyes when she speaks her truth. It is the stillness in her heart when she trusts herself again. It is the gentle power of choosing love over fear, creation over comparison, peaceful happiness over performance.

In a world that often praises perfection, I celebrate presence. In a culture that rewards speed, I honour our sacred rhythm. In a time that values noise, I listen for wisdom in the silence.

I believe every woman holds within her a unique blend of beauty, brilliance, and soul-given gifts. When she masters her talents, creates her art, and gives generously, she becomes a life-giving force of love in the world.

I believe in never giving up on your loved ones or yourself. I believe in the healing power of truth and in the joy that comes from living in alignment with your highest calling.

This is not just a philosophy. This is a way of being, a blessing. A sacred devotion to beauty that starts within and ripples outward, lighting the way for others to rise in their own radiance.

I am a Sacred Beauty Mentor—I am here to awaken the light in others. To help women live their Soul’s purpose with confidence, clarity, and peaceful happiness.

This is my offering. This is my art. This is my promise.

North Node and South Node: Portals of Purpose

Today, I am talking about promise, passion, and purpose in the context of your North Node and South Node…

In the cosmic mirror of your birth chart, the North Node and South Node are not just astrological points—they are portals of purpose. They hold the sacred code of your soul’s journey through time and space—what you’ve come into this life to release, remember, and reclaim.

Together, they form a spiritual axis—one that bridges your karmic past with your dharmic potential.

The South Node – Echoes of the Past

Your South Node holds the stories, skill sets, identities, and emotional patterns that have been lived, repeated, and over-practised across many lifetimes. These karmic imprints are etched into your energetic field—familiar, even seductive—because they’ve shaped you again and again.

For myself, I’ve had many lifetimes as a devoted warrior—in my Aries South Node, along with my Sun sign in Aries in this lifetime—So, I am indeed ready for my Libra North Node role as a diplomat, a co-creator, a supporter, an encourager, a peacemaker, an artist and a cultivator of sacred beauty in this lifetime.

See, in this lifetime, you’re not here to repeat your old practices.

You’re here to recognise them.
To bless them.
And then, to release their hold.

This part of your chart reveals what’s been completed at a soul level. It’s not bad or wrong—it’s just no longer where your power lives. The South Node shows where you’ve played the role long enough. Now it’s time to step off the old stage, bow with grace, and make way for a new expression of your Soul.

This is what it means to release karmic imprints. It’s not about disowning the past—it’s about liberating your light from the cords that bind it.

The North Node – Your Sacred Becoming

The North Node is your soul’s compass point. It’s the evolutionary direction that your future self is calling you toward. It’s often unfamiliar, edgy, and deeply activating—because it represents the very qualities you’re here to embody in this life.

This is your Dharma—not just your “life purpose,” but the sacred path of your unique emergence and presence. Aligning with your North Node is an act of devotion. It’s a choice to live into your soul’s potential, even when it challenges your personality or ego attachments.

Where the South Node says, “You’ve done this,”
The North Node whispers, “You were born for this.”

It’s where your courage awakens. It’s where your future takes root. It’s where your radiance returns—fully expressed and fully embodied.

The Dance Between the Two – Wisdom and Evolution

This sacred axis is not about abandoning who you’ve been—it’s about alchemising the wisdom of the past to serve who you are becoming. The gifts of your South Node don’t disappear—they’re refined and redirected through your North Node expression. What once held you back becomes fuel for forward motion. What once defined you now informs your purpose, but no longer limits it.

For example:
If your South Node is in Virgo, you may have mastered precision, service, and discernment. But over-identifying with perfection may have limited your expansion. With a North Node in Pisces, you’re now called to trust, flow, and surrender—to soften control and awaken divine imagination. Your Virgo clarity becomes a vessel for your Piscean vision.

This is the path of soul evolution.
Not just doing life differently—becoming someone new.
Not from ego, but from essence.

On Reflection

Your Nodes are a sacred script. They remind you that you’re not here to stay safe in what’s known. You’re here to remember your soul’s agreement, release what no longer serves, and awaken the frequency of your Dharma. This is where karma transforms into grace. Where past-life residue becomes present-moment power. Where destiny is not something to chase, but something to embody. So pause… Feel into your body… Ask yourself:

“What within me is ready to be released? And who am I being invited to become?”

Your Dharma is not a destination—it is your devotion. It is the frequency of your future… calling you now.

Releasing Karma, Awakening Dharma

Being: A Homecoming to the Divine Spark

Hello wondrous Souls,

Today I am talking about the true essence of Being…

To BE is not merely to exist—it is to remember. To be is to awaken within the fullness of all things—the Pleroma, the sacred Totality. It is to breathe the Holy Breath, to feel the pulse of the Holy Spirit in all life, and to know that you are not separate from the Source, but a living emanation of it. In the wisdom of Gnostic thought, being is essence—the unifying substance of spirit that underlies all form, seen and unseen. It is the thread that weaves heaven and earth, spirit and matter, the invisible and the visible.

Yet, there is a duality—an echo of division.

The soul, born of the higher realms, shines with the memory of its celestial origin. But here, in the material realm, shaped by a flawed architect known as the Demiurge, the soul finds itself veiled—cloaked in limitation, forgetfulness, and illusion. This earthly plane, beautiful and broken, is not our full truth. It is the place of the testing ground, the sacred forgetting that makes the sacred remembering so profound.

To be Anthropos—the True Human Being—is to embody this divine paradox.

You are the incarnation of the Creator, a living vessel designed for resurrection, rebirth, and return. You walk as both flesh and fire, clay and cosmos. The Anthropos is not merely man or woman, but the archetypal human, a microcosm of the divine pattern, capable of communion with ALL that is.

And so the journey of Being becomes a sacred practice for the Human Being: To pay attention. To live with intention. To love thy neighbour as thy Self—because thy neighbour is thy Self. Because we are all part of the same divine fabric, the same large story, the same spark seeking to return to its Source. The knowledge of the heart is not about accumulating facts. It is the remembrance that the spark of the Pleroma lives within you.

It is the soul’s soft voice whispering: You were never truly separate.

And in that recognition, the path becomes clear. Not as an escape from the world, but respecting your sacred place within it. We do not deny the world; we can indeed transfigure it.

Being, then, is not a fixed state—it is a movement. A homecoming. A reunion. A holy spiral of descent and ascent, incarnation and transcendence. That is what “Being” means; it’s part of the Human Being design. It is the Soul reuniting with the Source through the embodied path of love, truth, and sacred remembrance.

So here you are—breathing, shining, remembering. You are a Human Being. You are Becoming. You are the Divine Spark returning to the Light. And in the fullness of time, the Pleroma, the Most Sacred And Holy Oneness welcomes you home.
