Education is the movement from darkness to light. ~ Allan Bloom


So I feel like I haven't written to you in ages, but that's not accurate.  The reality is (as of this drafting) I have tons of things written or partially written, in various stages of almost finished.  But almost doesn't count...so there's that.  One of my aims is to get back to my schedule, which includes posting here on the blog & sending out newsletters - among other things.  But I am currently always running out of time in which to work on things.

{WUW} The Reality of Possibility

If there is a sense of reality, there must also be a sense of possibility. ~ Robert Musil


Being open to possibilities opens up entire worlds of potential for you.  It's a delicate balance between what is and what could be.  While you dream it's important to stay in touch with reality, to not gloss over things with an idealistic sense or lie to yourself about the realities of a situation.  Having a healthy understanding of "how things are" allows you to change them, but first you must accept & acknowledge the hard truths in order to be effective with the work.

Image credit: "Change" by Conal Gallagher

Without change there is no innovation, creativity, or incentive for improvement. Those who initiate change will have a better opportunity to manage the change that is inevitable. ~ William Pollard


With the political climate what it is ... a ton of fuckery to put it mildly ... it's more important than ever to create change.  As an artist I am a changemaker, I can use my power to support or challenge the status quo in overt or less than overt ways.  One way in which I seek to do this is by not promoting the fodder of consumerism.  We buy things because we need them, but also want them.  Because we've been fed the idea that these things will make a difference or change our lives.  Sometimes this is true, but not necessarily in the ways we imagine.  The saying, the grass is greener comes to mind.  The expectations you have about the change that will occur are often inflated, in part because you don't really understand what you want & need, and in part because you believe the person or entity selling something to you has your best interests in mind.


Sadly this is not necessarily true, especially at a larger corporate level.  Money is exchanged, only to be exchanged again and again (sometimes for the same thing).  It's a seemingly endless cycle.  Part of my mission is to help you make meaningful connections with what you bring into your life and each of my businesses (Aradia's Hand & Butterfly Phoenix Coaching) does that in a different manner.  So put your money where your values are, promote & support those things that matter to you, shop small, & do good in the world in every way you can!
