Hello friends!

​

I'm super excited to tell you about Small Wonders, my brand new offering and to invite you to check it out. (Some of you already have! If that's you, THANK YOU!, you don't need to read this email.)

What is Small Wonders?

Small Wonders is a weekly newsletter plus interactive community, focused on cultivating wonder and creativity in our lives through small acts of attention, shared inspiration, and communion with each other and the living world.

I'd love for you to join us there.

You can choose to join for free—come check it out!—but you will only see part of what is shared here. Some of it is behind a paywall to allow for vulnerability, privacy of our collective sharing, and to protect my new creations.

Or you can choose to be a paid subscriber for as little as $5.83/month, in which case you'll be supporting my work as an artist, teacher, and firekeeper, and also gaining access to all the juicy, vulnerable posts, the full archives and the interactive community.

What You’ll Receive

As a paid subscriber, you’ll get access to…

• Weekly Wonders—I share the amazing, astonishing, weird and wonderful things I come across, including books, music, movies, art, ideas, and remarkable moments, so you can have a well-spring of inspiration and wonder in your life.
• Updates from the Wonder Factory featuring vulnerable sharing of my journey through life alongside my new creations—poems, essays, visual art, music, and dance—so you get tidbits of beauty and inspiration delivered to your inbox once a week. I unveil my creative process and reflections on living an artful, soulful life to keep you encouraged on your own path.
• Wonder Sparks—Simple prompts for you to play with to ignite creativity and wonder in your life.
• Small Wonders Community Space—Share your own weekly wonders and get inspired, uplifted, and intrigued by others in our Community Space where we aim to gather a fabulous list of wonder-full things, such as books, movies, music, and more, to keep our hearts and souls well fed.
• My love and deep gratitude that you are joining me on this wonder-filled exploration.
• More goodies as I dream them up, including possibly live, online events.

How is Small Wonders different from Creative Sparks?

Creative Sparks, this newsletter you are reading right now focuses on creativity with tools, tips, stories, inspiration, and opportunities for fostering creativity. It’s also the place where I share about my offerings, such as classes and workshops.

Small Wonders focuses on wonder—all the aspects of it from awe to delight to curiosity and more. It aims to foster creativity and artful, soulful living too, like Creative Sparks.

Because that's what I'm all about.

But, Small Wonders is the place that you can get insider access to my own artistic creations and creative process. Because of the paywall, I can be more vulnerable there and share works-in-progress.

It’s also a place to foster community and connection, to allow you to have a voice and get to know each other.

Deep Sharing of Real Life

I also plan to use Small Wonders as a place to share about:

· My healing journey and recovery (Goddess-willing) from cancer

· My pursuit and process (Goddess-willing) of awakening

· My move to Costa Rica (Goddess-willing) and building a life there in a conscious community

This is super vulnerable and edgy for me, but I hope by chronicling my life in extremis it will be helpful to others. Because we are all always living in extremis in a way.

I want you to be a part of this and nurture more wonder, play, delight, and creativity in your life.

To your brilliant life,

P.S. A reminder that if you're in Nevada City on Saturday, December 14, I'll be performing my poems in an evening of blended poetry and music. Come out and join us!
