This is an ancient Hawaiian prayer for reconciliation and forgiveness.
Ho’oponopono (ho-o-pono-pono) translates to “Correctionâ€.
Recite seven times (or throughout your day).
Direct it to your own heart, people, and situations that need to be aligned with Love.
The Ho’oponopono Prayer
I’m sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
I painted over an old painting, Live on Social Media. It was all about letting go of attachments.
Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything anger, anxiety, or possessions we cannot be free. – Thich Nhat Hanh
So the question came up today…What do you want?
What I really want is travel and adventure. I want to venture into the woods with my wild women friends. I want to dive deep into the ocean. I want to play and explore. I crave more experiences and less stuff.
I desire to make a difference in someone’s life.
At the end of the day, I want to know that my life mattered.
My Mom never liked to reveal her age. It was as if she was embarrassed about how old she was, as if it was a crime for a woman to grow old. She always looked years younger so she kept her age a secret.
But you know what, in a few months I’ll be turning 60! Hey, I’ve said it to the world and I am going to celebrate!!! I still feel like I’m in my 30’s and in great health. I’m over half way through my 200 hour yoga teacher training and heck I even learned to scuba dive last summer. Life is good.

| If you are interesting in painting your own Tara, join my friend Whitney Freya’s, 22 Day Tara Painting Meditation Challenge. No previous painting skills required. Remember when you were a child and would happily draw and colour for hours in your own magical world? When did you stop making art? . I believe we all have an inner artist eager to come out and play. I’m in the process of developing a series of workshops and programs to guide you in your own Sacred Personal Painting Practice even if you’ve never put a brush to a canvas before. Through a series of meditations and exercises I will help you connect with the art that is your life. . If you’re on FaceBook, I have a group set up where I will be coming on live and other fun stuff https://www.facebook.com/groups/1047755185704695. I would love to have you join me! |
| Remembering who I am and why I came here. Joy and magic, Ann-Marie |
I experienced so much learning and personal growth in 2020. It was a year for looking inward and really discovering my purpose and passion.
At the beginning of the year, I was a full time 3D character design and animation student; still feeling the deep loss of my mom’s death the year before. Covid-19 happened and I finished the final months of my course online.
My intention was to seek 9 to 5 employment but then I decided to return to creating fine art and make it a full time business instead. Maybe it sounds a little crazy but I wanted to follow my passion.
I’m grateful for all the amazing people I’ve met this year. Movers and shakers and dreamers who want to make this world a better place.
And I learned to scuba dive this summer. The pandemic and the loss of a loved one makes you realize that life is so short and you need to really experience everything your heart desires.
At the end of this year, I enrolled in a 200 hour yoga teacher training program which has been quite the life changing experience so far. As the year comes to a close, my heart is full of joy. 2021 is going to be amazing!
Joy & Magic,

Here’s a painting exercise that anyone can do.
1. Paint a circle with any type of paint. I was using acrylic paint for this.
2. Let that dry.
3. Start by making a dot in the centre. Draw counter clockwise as evenly spaced as possible. I used a gold paint marker pan.
This is an excellent way to relax and meditate.
