The adventure of perimenopause My life has changed a lot in the last couple of years thanks to my changing female cycle. I have been observing changes in my cycle mainly in the last five years, but recently I am on a roller coaster ride, I have to say. This transforming time is officially called…

In the last couple of posts, I’ve shared some of the techniques that I’ve been drawing on as my life has been going from ‘busy’ to ‘more than a little crazy’! I’m aware that reading this sort of thing can sometimes make it sound that the writer – in this case me – has got…

One day before, according to the Gregorian calendar, I am 70. A good friend asked me how does it feel, and I did not have anything special to say. It feels like something lived in this body, that is never the same body, and this body is almost transparent, it is not real. It floats…

Last week I started sharing some of the things that I’ve found helpful when I start to slip into stress and overwhelm. Below are some further thoughts on this: Having trained in a range of energy therapies I am very fortunate to be able to draw on these when I feel triggered and emotionally raw. …

The drawing was done at 10pm, the painting – in the morning after. It is like a very big puppet. The head is too big and heavy in the composition. The mechanism is old. It stood outside in the rain and plants started growing on it in some places. You can almost hear the clunking…

When we set out to heal something, deeply, fully, we can never—I mean, never—know what energies, what buried memories, reside in our unconscious, beneath layers upon layers of skin. Shed that skin is all we can do, and is all I could do, back at the New England farmhouse in the summer of 2000. As…

For a few days I did not make many paintings in my daily working on myself, as I used to do. It felt that I was doing a lot with each one and needed some space between them. This is a painting I started very late at night, finished in the morning and wrote about…

“When’s the last time you were in love?” an Argentinean man asked me at a party I attended about three months ago after returning from his country. “Yesterday,” I said, half in jest. Far from satisfied with my response, this man who, shortly afterwards, would become my new love, asked again. “You mean, when was…

I have been doing a series of drawings about desire. It just came up and I let it be. Here is one more painting about desire. But desire is becoming more and more beautiful. And here I am starting to know about the way of coming out of addictions, if this is what you want…
