We are back home, and I am filled with deep gratitude that our sanctuary remains safe after the mandatory evacuation in Santa Monica. Just a few streets away from the inferno, we were surrounded by the overwhelming uncertainty and urgency of the moment. Getting our cats into their carriers was the most stressful experience—Mr. Charlie almost fled, and we feared leaving him behind. When we received the evacuation order, ten police officers were at our door, urgently imploring us to leave immediately. It was a surreal experience unlike anything I’ve ever encountered in my life.
My heArt goes out to everyone enduring the profound losses caused by the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire. The intensity of these times feels overwhelming, and it reminds me that after one crisis, recovery often brings another challenge—an ongoing journey of healing and rebuilding. In these moments of uncertainty, I’ve turned inward, seeking ways to care for both myself and my community. Through deep reflection, I’ve explored holistic practices that support our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being during this challenging period. Together, we move forward—one breath, one moment at a time. Below are self-care strategies that have guided me toward resilience and balance. Protect Your Lungs and Purify Your Space
Hydrate, Rest, and Replenish
Create a Sacred, Spa-Like Sanctuary
Holistic Nutrition and Hydration
Nourish Your Soul
Community and Compassion
Additional Tips for Resilience
Final Thoughts During wildfires and other climate catastrophes, lean into holistic self-care as a pathway to balance and resilience. By creating a sacred, art-infused space and nurturing your body, mind, and spirit, you can transform this challenge into an opportunity for growth and healing. Stay safe, and may your sanctuary be a beacon of calm amidst the storm. 💛 #HolisticHealing #ResilienceThroughCrisis #WildfireWellness #ProtectYourLungs #GroundingTechniques #SacredSelfCare #CreativeSanctuary #TransformativeArt #MindBodySpirit #WildfireSelfCare, #HolisticWellness, #CityOfAngelsStrong, #PalisadesFire2024, #BreatheEasyTips, #MindBodySpirit, #EmergencyPreparedness, #HealingThroughCrisis, #StaySafeLA, #WellnessInWildfires, #CommunityResilience, #AirQualityMatters, #GroundingTechniques, #ProtectYourLungs, #StressReliefTips, #WildfireSeasonCare, #HydrationIsKey, #WildfireMentalHealth, #EnergyHealingTools, #LAWildfireSupport, #TransformativeArt, #ArtForHealing, #CreativeResilience, #ArtAsTherapy, #HealingThroughArt, #ExpressiveArts, #ArtHealsLA, #ClimateTruama, #WildfireArtRecovery, #ArtisMoving #HarmoniaInstitute

"Creation," inspired by the awe- Introducing "Creation" I am beyond excited to share my latest painting, "Creation," inspired by the awe-inspiring geomancy of Yellowstone National Park.
This piece captures the raw, elemental forces that shape our world, reflecting the mystical interplay of fire, water, earth, and air. Yellowstone, with its geysers, hot springs, and breathtaking landscapes, serves as a powerful reminder of nature's creative and destructive powers. In "Creation," I've tried to encapsulate the essence of these natural phenomena, blending vibrant colors and dynamic forms to evoke a sense of wonder and reverence. This painting is a homage to the beauty and mystery of our planet, a reminder of the delicate balance we must strive to protect. Each brushstroke is infused with the energy and spirit of Yellowstone, inviting viewers to reconnect with the natural world and find inspiration in its timeless beauty. Join me in celebrating the magic of nature through art. #ArtInspiredByNature #Yellowstone #Geomancy #CreationPainting #NatureArt #ArtForThePlanet #Inspiration #ArtLovers #YellowstoneMagic #CreativeJourney Inspiring geomancy of Yellowstone National Park.
