Last night I helped to facilitate a natural child health workshop led by Dr. Valerie Simonsen ND (Naturopath licensed in Hawaii, and Shaman). The workshop was held at Nuts & Grains health food store in Tamuning, Guam. There were about 8 of us who attended, and we had questions that ranged from issues with eczema, …
Continuing my painting groove, today I created this piece titled “Moon Goddess” and I just love her! It is a 24″x30″ acrylic on canvas, with a lot of movement. She is a goddess of the moon, she is nameless. She ebbs and flows as the tides do, she follows a rhythm and cycle that is …
Had an image in my mind today and immediately set up my easel, a 24″x30″ canvas, and my paints to start on it while the inspiration was fresh. It is titled “Her Majesty,” and represents a queen who is energetic, full of life & joy, powerful, graceful, bold, loving and playful. She is well-respected for …
I am pleased to announce that Dinana Famalao’an (which means “a gathering of women” in Chamorro), is hosting a women’s circle every month (new moon) here on Guam. The first one, called “New Beginnings,” was held this past Saturday at UOG, and I attended with my mom. We absolutely loved it. We hosted the refreshments …

Last Creative Session was awesome! We had a full house, including a mini artist. Between the 8 of us, we were painting (acrylic and watercolor), beading, mixed media (sand, collage), writing, brainstorming, resume writing, and simply enjoying ourselves.

They are all the same thing to me, a collage of images that light up your soul. Vision Board. Dream Board. Treasure Map. A visual sanctuary to rest on what delights you, what dreams and goals you strive for, what feelings you want to create for yourself. Here are the boards we made this session: …
This huge canvas is 5 feet x 3 feet, and is filled with deep blues, seaweed greens, luminescent white, silver & pearl. This painting is a special custom piece I did for my dad as a gift for Christmas. It is giant swirling wave scene, a mesmerizing piece for sure. He says he loves …
Art is not limited to a canvas! Everything is art in my world, and I’ve painted my hair red. Violet. Reddish violet. Big move for me! This is no subdued look, and in order to rock it, boldness is required. I think that might end up being my word of the year: Bold. And Alicia …
Big cup of coffee in hand, it’s quite the day today! Already had my Trevo wellness drink, breakfast, played a bit of badminton and “archery” in the yard with the boys this morning.

My favorite definition of encouragement is: to inspire with courage, spirit or hope. Recently I went through what I can only describe as a “dark night of the soul,” where you experience something so painful, often rooted in your own deepest fears and self-doubt, triggered by something or someone outside of yourself. It was a …
