Here she is!

After weeks of sketching, refining, measuring, and patiently working with the vision that first came through, “In Service to the Light” finally came into being — and I am filled with joy and gratitude to share her with you.

While reading the opening pages of The Heart of Service by Nayaswami Jyotish, two visions arrived, asking to be brought into form. I had barely begun the book before these images interrupted my reading and stayed with me, waiting patiently to emerge.

The book was a gift from my cousin, Brian, who attended the centennial celebration of Swami Kriyananda in California, where The Heart of Service was launched.

At the time, I was holding both visions — two paintings wanting to be born. “Nested Soul” was the first to make its way onto canvas. “In Service to the Light” was the second.

The heart of this painting came through clearly: Divine Mother diving from above, arms extended in an embrace, enfolding a kneeling woman below. By Divine Mother, I don’t only mean Mother Mary, but the Divine Feminine itself — the compassionate, nurturing, creative aspect of Divine energy that embraces all life.

Within the woman’s hands was a flame — like a devotional candle being lifted in prayer, an offering of love, gratitude, and willingness to serve. For me, that flame also represents our own Divine spark — the inner fire that transforms inspiration into action.

The vision gave me the foundation.

As I worked with the painting, more layers revealed themselves. The flowing energy between the figures, the repeated vesica piscis forms, and the larger flame growing from a lotus emerged as part of the unfolding — creating a visual language for the meeting of the cosmic and the human, the Divine energy within us and around us, and the sacred presence awakening within.

“Make me an instrument of Thy Light.”

That simple prayer arrived with this painting.

It echoes the beloved words, “Make me an instrument of Thy peace,” but for this painting, Light was the word that wanted to be heard. Light that embraces us. Light that awakens within us. Light that asks to be shared.

It is in that meeting place between Spirit and matter that we become vessels through which Divine energy can flow into our thoughts, words, work, and everyday acts of kindness.

None of us is asked to express the Light in exactly the same way.

Each of us has been given different gifts, experiences, and opportunities to serve. When we honour those gifts, we become individualized expressions of the Divine, carrying our unique offering into the world.

Creating paintings like this is one of the ways I feel called to serve. Each one begins as an inner experience and gradually takes form through colour, symbol, and prayer. It is my way of offering something back.

My hope is that “In Service to the Light” serves you as well.

Whether its message speaks to you visually, symbolically, or energetically, may it remind you of the Light that surrounds you, the Light that lives within you, and the unique way that only you can bring that Light into the world.

The journey of finding the rightful homes for my unsold, energy-infused co-creations with Spirit is almost complete. At the end of next week, I will enter meditation, connect with Spirit, and use my pendulum to guide the placement of each piece.

This isn’t about the highest offer—it’s about alignment. Every painting carries energy, and its new home will be chosen through a Spirit-guided process, just as explained in my video above.

In total, 56 paintings were looking for their perfect match. A few have already been sold outright from my site. Thank you.

As of this writing, the full Universal Law Mandala Collection(13 paintings) and a dozen more paintings are still waiting for their first offer. You can view all available pieces on my online gallery page here. Could one of them be calling you?

If you feel drawn to a piece, trust that nudge. Simply follow the instructions at the top of the gallery page on how to submit your offer via email. Taxes/duties and shipping are extra.

I’ve been sharing short daily videos in the Discussion section of my Facebook Event Page (here) and YouTube Channel’s Art Sales Playlist (here), offering a closer look at each painting, its meaning, and the energy it holds.

If you haven’t seen them yet, I invite you to explore these glimpses into the collection—like the one I’ve included in this post. These videos are also easy to share, so thank you for spreading the word.

If you know someone who might be drawn to these works or who believes in the power of art as a spiritual connection, please share this with them. The more people who hear about this, the greater the chance each painting finds its true home.

Trust your intuition. If a piece speaks to you, reach out before it’s too late.

We set a rainfall record here in Newfoundland last month. It was the wettest November in history. 

It rained, it poured, and heading out for much needed nature time took a bit more willingness than usual.

But with the proper gear and willing friends, being out in the Elements was still fun and creative.

I didn’t set out to create this video … it just happened, inspired by the moment and environment.

As we come towards the end of 2024, I look back upon my year and am grateful for my friends who walk by my side, rain or shine – literally and figuratively.

Leslie Bridger, my cooperative playmate in the video above, is one such friend.

We’re both soulpreneurs & photographers, and so we weave in and out of conversation, awe-inspiring communion with nature, and photo-fun time.

Years ago in some online workshop we took together, Leslie and I learned a mastermind sharing formula that has served us well.

I share it with you here in case it inspires you and a buddy to try it out – either on regular walk & talks or even by zoom.

Every time we go for a walk, we in turn share the following while the other simply listens:

1. Successes: we list all that we consider successes since the last time we met – in all areas of our lives. Then we high-five to celebrate!
2. Challenges: we share what weighs heavily on us, seeking the blessings, lessons, and love that can grow out of them. We focus on our role and growth in the situations and avoid blaming and complaining.
3. Need for support: we ask our friend or the Universe what we need support with – sometimes just being able to identify and voice it opens opportunities.
4. Accountability: As accountability buddies, we ask for a follow-up and encouragement throughout the week to help us move forward with our intentions and goals. We also report on how we did on our next walk & talk.

Our walks take at least an hour – enough time for our mastermind formula, silent contemplation, a bit of photo fun, and regular conversation.

This is something Leslie and I do together. Other friendships have a different flavour. I’m grateful for them all.

May your life be blessed with rainy day friends who walk by your side no matter the weather.

What can you do to find and nurture such friendships?

How can you be a rainy day friend to someone this week?

May the Universe answer your calls for support.

Although this short meditation (12 min.) was co-created with a pregnant woman in mind, I’m confident it would serve anyone birthing a new project, business, belief or habit.

Give it a try and let me know in the comments below how it served you.

Feel free to substitute the name “God” with “Source”, “The Universe” or whatever else may resonate more with you. Connect to the energy and intent more than to specific words that may not apply to you.

Why did I choose this theme? 

Two weeks ago, I was hired to channel one of my custom meditations for a pregnant woman wanting more peace, calm & safety as she journeyed through her pregnancy.

As I tuned in, I was inspired to create 2 short meditations, one to start her day and one for bedtime.

Then, I was moved to edit this 3rd meditation to gift to you.

Please share it with any pregnant woman you may know.

And remember that you too can commission a Custom Guided Meditation for your specific needs or as a gift for a loved one. Order early for the holiday season. They’re currently $247 CA.

I also co-create Guided Visioning Meditations for corporate / team needs and can be hired to lead a group meditation online or in person. Contact me to enquire about details & pricing.
