Welcome to the First Monthly Newsletter of 2024: Are you still feeling that New Year vibe?Coming to you after the 'Festive
Fray' I deliberately choose to hang back before reaching out to you instead of my reaching out getting lost in the 'festive fray'. We
deserve more. We also needed more quiet space to probe into the vibe of this new beginning. So, officially from me: Happy New Year, Wise Women, Dragons, Wizards, Space Cadets and Freaks of Nature! You are my Spiritual Kin, and I am truly grateful you are here!! New Year Blessing: May the Dragon's mighty spirit ignite your inner fire,
Bringing strength, wisdom, boundless inspiration and fortune
higher.
In this auspicious year, let your dreams take flight,
Guided by the Dragon's vibrant, luminous light.
Prosperity, joy, harmony and success be yours to embrace,
As you bravely soar into a year of renewal, intuition and grace. Happy New Year of the Dragon!
As we step into the theatre of 2024, I invite you to join me in embracing this year with an open heart and an intuitive spirit. The beginning of a new year is often a time of
reflection and goal-setting, but this year, I encourage you to approach it differently – through the lens of intuition and inner wisdom. Intuition is our inner compass, guiding us through life's complexities and uncertainties. Our soul's whisper offers insights and understanding beyond logical reasoning. Let's commit to trusting this powerful inner voice more than ever this year. It's about tuning in to what feels right, listening to the subtle cues from within, and allowing our true selves to emerge and guide us. As we embark on this journey of intuitive nurturing, I encourage you to pause and reflect. - What is your heart
of heart’s genuine longing for this year?
- How and where can you align your actions with your deepest values and desires? Hit reply and share!
Remember, growth
and understanding are not always about reaching outward for answers; most of the time, they're about turning inward and listening to the sublime and subtle whispers from Source Energy. Looking forward to an enlightening year ahead, LA

New Monthly Forecast: Embracing Transformation: January's Intuitive Energy
Forecast
As we begin this month, let's tune into Source Energy (God/Goddess/All That Is/All That Ever Was and Ever Shall Be) and inquire about the
dominant energy surrounding our tribe this month. Reflect on how this information aligns with your current feelings and circumstances. Summary: According to Source Energy, this month's dominant theme supports us in improving 'work-life balance' while dealing with the challenges of maintaining peace and an
undertone of recurring old patterns or situations that are ready to evolve so we can move forward. There's an energy of renewal and regeneration when we create that new balance. This January's energy is a cocktail of transformation! Use your January vibe to your best advantage. - Self-Inquiry: "How can I better balance my career and personal life, and what steps can I take to
transform dysfunctional repetitive cycles and foster renewal?"
- Proposed Answer: I will create time to get still and quiet, reassess my priorities and create a more structured yet kind schedule to balance work and home responsibilities. To transform worn-out repetitive patterns and see the fears
lurking in the shadows of old stories without fear, I’ll identify their root causes and consciously choose to liberate my truth.
The Challenge/Lesson: Change is coming. Now, let's tune into Source Energy and inquire about uncovering the primary challenges or lessons that may emerge this month. These
could be obstacles we’ll face to varying degrees or learning opportunities that present themselves. - Think about how these challenges resonate with your current path and what they might teach you about your journey.
Summary: Challenges this month may include struggling to find joy and be present, feeling trapped in a never-ending cycle (repeating patterns/old narratives), and relying on conventional methods or rules to muddle through instead of seizing the vibe of renewal. These challenges serve as lessons to explore new ways of thinking and being. - Self-Inquiry: "What can
I learn from my current struggle to find joy and presence, and how can I break free from conventional thinking to write my own story?"
- Proposed Answer: I must explore my truth, what truly brings me happiness and give it roots by upping my meditative mindfulness practice. Challenging traditional
ways/old narratives and ways of being and thinking outside the box will help me break free from the cycle and forge my unique path.
The Guidance: Now, let's tune into Source Energy again and inquire what will guide us in navigating these challenges best or integrating the lessons into our lives. This insight will help us
align our actions and decisions with this month's highest personal growth and fulfillment potential. Consider how you can apply this guidance practically in your daily life. Summary: The guidance for navigating these challenges includes ‘opening inward’ and seeking the treasures within, reconnecting with nature and the nurturing outdoors for clarity and peace, embracing exchanging ideas and resources with kin, friends and colleagues, learning to recognize and step back from unnecessary drama to see the big picture and the tiny details, and focusing on breathwork for
calmness. - Self-Inquiry: "How can connecting with nature, reciprocating with others, and practicing breathwork help me navigate this month’s challenges?"
- Proposed Answer: Spending time in nature will
ground me, clear my head and offer new perspectives. Engaging in meaningful exchanges with others can provide support and fresh ideas. Practicing meditative mindfulness will help manage stress and stay centred amidst challenges.
Overall GuidanceThis month is about balancing your life, finding joy in the present, and breaking free from unbalanced
repetitive patterns, limited or negative thinking and being overly reliant upon traditional confines. Embrace the opportunities for regeneration and growth by connecting with nature, fostering meaningful exchanges, and cultivating mindfulness and presence. Remember, each challenge is a stepping stone to personal evolution, and every moment is a chance to rediscover and realign with your true self.

Client Spotlight: A Transformative Portrait ExperienceCeleste's Journey to Self-Discovery through Intuitive
Portraiture
A Voyage to Inner Wisdom at Peggy's CoveThis month's spotlight shines on Celeste, who embarked on an extraordinary journey of self-discovery through her Intuitive Portrait session, set against the serene backdrop of her cottage
in Nova Scotia, near the iconic Peggy's Cove. Like many of us, Celeste experienced a year filled with
transformative changes. Seeking to reconnect with her inner wisdom and truth, she turned to the unique experience of the Open Inward Intuitive Portrait.
Embracing Her Mythology and True EssenceDuring our session, we delved deep into the realms of Celeste's mythology, exploring the layers of her personality, her dreams that often
seemed just out of reach, and her aspirations that were waiting to be acknowledged. The process was not
just about taking photographs; it was an invitation for her wisdom, intuition, and essence to emerge and take center stage. A Dance of Light and Self-RealizationCeleste entered the experience with openness and vulnerability, her heart and child-like innocence shining through. Light danced around her as the camera captured each moment, creating an
ethereal atmosphere.
She transformed before the lens, becoming a living embodiment of her Divine Self. This experience was not just a photo shoot; it was a sacred dance of self-realization, where every snap of the camera was a celebration of her resilience and joy.
The Magic of TransformationThe magic that unfolded during Celeste's shoot was a testament to the power of intuitive portraiture. The portraits we created together were more than
mere images; they were a vibrant celebration of her journey towards self-acceptance, each a chapter in her story of personal growth. Seeing Her Sacred Self AnewUpon seeing her legacy portraits, Celeste felt she was meeting a sacred part of herself for the first time. It was a profound moment of recognition and
affirmation, a visual testament to her growth and the dawning of a new chapter in her life.
Imagine Your JourneyNow, picture yourself in Celeste's shoes. Imagine being held in a sacred space of my studio in Campbellford, Ontario or surrounded by the natural beauty of your sacred space, whether by the ocean, in a
forest, or within the walls of your home that hold so many memories. Envision yourself diving deep into
your mythology, unearthing the dreams and aspirations you hold dear. As you stand before the camera, you're
not just posing; you're engaging in a powerful act of self-expression and discovery. With each click, you're capturing an image and reclaiming pieces of your story, your resilience, and your joy.

Personal Share: Embracing Harmony and Creative Renewal!HARMONY
As we enter the promise of a new year, I have decided to do a personal share! The Power Word that will guide my 2024 journey and the heart
of our shared creative endeavours is Harmony! What is your Power Word for 2024? For me, this year is all about striking a harmonious balance, nurturing connections, and unleashing the creative spirit within. The past few years presented unique challenges and opportunities. The arrival of COVID-19 in 2019 forced me to make a difficult decision, one that temporarily closed the doors of my beloved portrait studio. However, as the saying goes, 'when one door closes, another opens'. I opened a new direction for my creative compass – the realm of Open Inward Intuitive Programming. Since the dawn of COVID-19, several successful Open Inward program cohorts bloomed, each a testament to the power of authentic expression and
the importance of deep connection. I solemnly promised myself: In 2024, I will fully resurrect my creative spirit from behind the camera. Join me! It's already wild and wonderful! I am genuinely excited about holding sacred space for you to join me. Come on a journey fueled by the fire of creativity, anchored in meaning, connection, and dedicated to your soul's authentic expression. So, whether you've been a part of this community for years or just beginning to explore this creative side of my work (that I launched in 2012), I invite you to walk with me as we embrace harmony's beauty and unleash creativity's transformative power in 2024.
Wishing you a joyous and transformative 2024!Warm hugs and big squishy squishes, LA
