A series of events including a car break-in, car accident, and attempted break in to my home is what set me on a journey of transformation. At the time, I had worked my way up the corporate ladder and had started asking the question to myself, “Is there more?” My entire life I thought that was the path that I was supposed to follow and although I wasn’t unhappy, I was not fulfilled.

So you could say that maybe it was asking that question that created the series of events to wake me up and seek out the change that I desired. Either way, what I know now is that it doesn’t have to take an event to transform your life. You can recreate your life at any moment.

I have no prior art experience and through using my training in helping people achieve an altered state of consciousness, I now apply that same technique in art. The incredible thing is that I have now found a way to teach a simple way for anyone to paint. Yes, that’s right! You can explore your creativity and life transformation through art. You really can do it!

Episode two is all about SHOWING UP! Believe me, as a perfectionist (and yes, I still use the word perfectionist). I still find myself trying to be perfect at times at I am ok with that! Often people use the term “recovering” perfectionist which I find feels as if you should be something other than you’re not.

When we practice showing up, we can begin to see that we really are perfect just as we are. In essence, showing up is the key to momentum, innovation and happiness. @RobinEmmerich (Click to Tweet!)
