What's the plot, again?

 


Not every costume we choose in this life is a destructive one. We often dress up in identities to develop our souls and assist others. Yes, strip us down, and we are energy. But the fun part is seeing how widely and deeply that energy can transform into mother, doctor, male, citizen, rebel, nemesis, student, or changemaker. All of this is a giant show with a main plot (humanity) and subplots (our own personal lives). It is interesting seeing people get wildly upset when other characters decide they no longer wish to be the role the cast assigned them. This is because it shows them the safety and security they have found within their role in humanity is not real on a soul level. And it shows that we don't truly know what the plot is. We have systems and beliefs that provide us context, but we do not truly know. How frightening is that? The ensemble cast does not have the authority to dictate a soul. We are all our own directors of how we show up for ourselves and others in our roles and in this world. Be what your soul calls you to be and understand... It will always be. Regardless of the form it takes.

Nourishing the Heart Through Affordable Art

Gabrielle Tocaya As a child, I watched my grandmother (who, along with my grandfather, raised me) write poetry, create + execute plays, host art shows, and counsel people. Years later, I found myself working in my university's art gallery while studying psychology. My love for art and people has allowed me to grow and evolve through the ever-changing moods and trends of the art industry for over a decade, while also maintaining compassion for the humans behind it. I have worked for some notorious art institutions and smaller galleries, volunteered with grassroots organizations, coordinated successful shows, presented live tours on popular exhibits, wrote curatorial pieces, provided commentary, and assisted in the sale of hundreds of artworks. What I have learned is that whether you are creating art, selling art, collecting art, or experiencing art, art will change your life. Art is humans doing their best to make sense of their own existence. It is religion, science, philosophy, an...

Letting the Light In...

Image
We made it to another week...another day...another cycle of being and creating who we wish to be and what we wish to see. This piece is called, 'A Rip in SpaceTime', by artist Mark Ross I encourage you to keep letting the light in. Let it engage with your insides, even the dark corners filled with anxiety and sadness. I guarantee you will find that the light you allow in will ignite the light you already possess. Sending love your way. - Gabbi

The Price of Time

Image
It is Friday. Many of us live in a culture where we must put a price on our life for 260-262+ days out of the year (roughly 71.5% of our year)... and yearn for our beloved Friday. And yes, I mean it when I say that we sell our lives away for the "right" (but repeatedly wrong) price. This is what is happening when we agree to an hourly pay/annual salary to do things that drain our light, make us question our worth, and accept behavior the chisels away at our sanity and health. No amount of pay, recycled titles, or employee discounts will ever be worth your soul. "Happy Friday" has morphed into a blessing we bestow on our colleagues as encouragement and an entrypoint to a mini holiday. "You are here. You made it." It deserves acknowledgment. Don't believe me? We even begin celebrating our freedom on Thursday, or rather "Friday Eve." 😄 Friday originates as a day for the goddess Venus. She rules love, sex, beauty, fertility, and...victory. We do...
