Fun Fact - I hated dresses when I was a little gir

Fun Fact - I hated dresses when I was a little girl and only felt comfortable in them around the time I was a teenager. Since then, dresses are by far my preference, even over yoga pants! Crazy right, but I love the ones with pockets that don't hug my body. Again...POCKETS.

What about you? Yoga pants, jeans or dresses?

If you are loving the colors I used to paint this dress, the new Bohemian Brights are now available for preorder on my website! I would love for you to TAG me in your creation so I can feature you in my stories!

I learned a great lesson this week. Something finally clicked inside.
Shame. I can set that down now and not carry it any longer.
Brene Brown said, “If I get to be me, I belong. If I have to be like you, I fit in.” During our HeartTalk Friday in our Creative Connection group, we talked about shame. The very act of discussing it with others helped me to see what I’d been carrying around for so many years. I’m done.❤️
What have you been carrying around for too long?

REDISCOVER YOUR SPARK… The one that got you pain

REDISCOVER YOUR SPARK…
The one that got you painting in the first place. The one that makes you lose track of time when a brush is in your hand. The one that makes you excited for each and every blank canvas you can find.
Rediscover the creativity that makes you, YOU!

Issue 06 of The Turquoise Iris Journal is out now! Read it today and get inspired to live more creatively in 2022.

I asked the ladies of my Empowered by Design coach

I asked the ladies of my Empowered by Design coaching group to make a list this month of the things that ARE working in their businesses. Write it all out and let it sink in.
We often have accomplishments that go unnoticed or we quickly move on to the next before we even have time to really think about WHY something is working.
To you small creative business owners out there, make your list today. Well done, my friend. Somewhere on that list is a task you once felt it too hard, or overwhelming and unattainable.
I see you. This latest piece of mine is a #MembersExclusive tutorial in our Creative Connection and new members are joining us daily!

Quick Question for ya. What does SUCCESS look like

Quick Question for ya. What does SUCCESS look like to you?

During the last week of every year, I look back at the previous year and plan out the next with my GOALS included. I’ve learned to allow myself to celebrate small wins and let myself feel the disappointment of some that I’d hoped were big wins.

♥️ Success looks like waking up on Monday morning ready to dive into work rather than feeling anxiety and dread.

♥️Success is being confident enough in my own ability to create new works here, there or anywhere.

♥️Success is reaching a point in your relationships that honest real talk is always the best policy.

♥️Success is feeling excited for a friend’s accomplishments and telling them rather than being envious.

♥️Success is surrounding myself with people that will lift me up rather than beat me down and steal my joy.

♥️Success is understanding I deserve to pay for business and life coaching because I’m worth it.

♥️Success is never apologizing for becoming the woman I am meant to be and loving myself fully.

♥️Success is saying yes to something that scares me and doing it anyway.

I would love to here what success looks like to you! Drop your comment ⬇️ below.

All I can say is this; working on this piece took

All I can say is this; working on this piece took me back to a place of my creativity that lit a spark within me. The spark hit me 10 years ago when I mixed paint, layered contrasting colors and chose to show the world what was burning inside of me.

I remember it like it was yesterday even though life looks different than it did then. I’d spent 35 years scared, confused and doubting my every move.

Well, to HECK with that B.S!! This. Is. Me.

I’m 45 years old and want to make things pretty. I’m a color alchemist teaching creatives to practice art + develop their passions & grow their businesses online and in person. I’ve also committed myself to YOU and teaching YOU to find your own way through your creativity, too.

Together, we’re empowered and alive! Who’s with me?!?! #TeamTurquoise ‘Velvet Honey’ is now available! This full video tutorial will be available in Issue 06 of @theturquoiseirisjournal

Hey Team Turquoise!
It's a new week and I'm sure we're all down to the wire when it comes to holiday planning. Why don't you take a few hours for yourself today?

I'd love to hear your ideas for a little self-care time during this busy busy season!
I'll go first...

I love spending time out of the house! A little fresh air (and quiet!) can do a lot to soothe my frazzled nerves.

One of my favorite Christmas memories as a child w

One of my favorite Christmas memories as a child was trying to decide when my mama ( my brother told me about Santa at age 5 😳) would sneak to the living room and fill our stockings. I honestly never figured out how she did it because I waited up for her to go to sleep and then woke up earlier , so I thought, than her.

My latest finger painting, Fields of Fun, is dedicated to Miss Margie. She was our 85 year old neighbor when our boys were very little. She left an impression with me by always sharing seeds from her flowers. We didn’t have money to plant so her generosity went a very long way.

Her hollyhocks were my favorite so we painted them in my group, Creativity at Your Fingertips.

Our sixth issue (coming out in ONE MONTH 🤩) is all about the little spark that’s inside all of us. After the past two-ish years, I know I’m not the only one who is itching to turn that little spark into some FIREWORKS 🎆

I don’t know who else is feeling antsy right now, but I am SO ready for it to be 2022! The list of things I’m excited about and ready to try gets longer by the day, which is why I’m eagerly anticipating the next issue of The Turquoise Iris Journal!

Do you see that darker spot of the teal wax inside that flower in the bottom left-hand side of this picture? THAT. INSPIRES. ME. I just want more, more, more. Can you relate to that? It’s just awesome how one color or a mixture of colors can spark imagination in your mind.
