Isabelle, Your encouragement and leadership of the Artist’s Way group helped me to change my life in a most positive way. No longer working a job terribly misaligned with my spirit, a teaching role has found me and I couldn’t be happier. It would not have happened without your support, and this feels like the right time to say thank you. Keep doing the hard work of helping others to find sanity, it’s working!

Love this Isabelle, there are days when I want to hear these words ❤️‍🩹 We are under constant assault , deliberately brutalised , to weaken us in to docility and submission.

To rest , to imagine , to share and support each other is resistance to oppression. Thank you, you are enough and you do enough and some days even more…

Love this! And it's a sentiment that many of us share.

The world really needs a paradigm shift.

I have so much respect for your honesty in this process and share. Your gentle kindness and realness is a balm in this overly violent and extractive world. Your words are breathing life and giving heart. And that is so so so more than enough. I know those hard moments where it feels like all is falling apart and nothing we do will ever be enough. And I’m glad you’re in a “better” place now than you were then. Bless the wintry flows. Prayers up for more cooperatives and communitarian ways and caring for our neighbors and loved ones during what appears to be times of growing violence and authoritarianism and strong arm boundaries. May the gentle whispers and shared meals and days growing or creating or resting or playing or simply being together remind us why we’re here, cuz it’s certainly not to créate wild profits for people who don’t really care for our better interests. May we all learn to love and live life in a way that inspires us and lights us up. Sharing kind words on posts that share kind words is one of those ways for me. Looking forward to seeing some friends in the snow soon and sharing hot cocoa and apple cider amidst stories and hopefully some art and dance alright! Blessings Isabelle

Thank you so much Charles, I wasn't sure on sharing this post so it is great to hear you enjoyed it. I'm with you in the prayers for more cooperative and communitarian ways! I am still trying to figure it out but we'll get there. Enjoy your hot cocoa and apple cider to the fullest possible extent <3

Thank you dear. I’m still figuring it out rather imperfectly over here too. Lil steps of unlearning and slowly painstakingly decolonizing amidst a culture designed to encourage me to grow in the direction opposite of…feels, so many feels. Peace sister
