Misunderstandings or differing expectations, especially when unaddressed, can lead to frustration and distance. Financial stress or work-related pressures can create tension, especially if one partner feels neglected. Holding onto grudges and being overly critical can erode emotional intimacy, while jealousy and insecurity may breed conflict and doubt. Additionally, neglecting to spend quality time together can weaken the bond, making both partners feel disconnected. Balancing independence and togetherness is essential, as too much of either can lead to feelings of suffocation or detachment. Ultimately, understanding and addressing these potential hindrances can help create a stronger, healthier relationship built on mutual respect, openness, and support.

Love is a profound and universal human experience that transcends boundaries and definitions. It is a complex tapestry of emotions, actions, and connections that weave together to form the very fabric of our existence. Love can manifest in countless ways - as the gentle warmth of familial bonds, the intoxicating thrill of romantic passion, the steadfast loyalty of friendship, or the unwavering compassion of self-love. At its core, love is an acceptance and appreciation of another's true essence, flaws and all, and a willingness to grow, learn, and evolve together. Love has the power to heal, transform, and uplift, offering a sense of belonging, purpose, and meaning that enriches our lives in immeasurable ways. Whether quiet and subtle or loud and dramatic, love is the thread that connects us all, reminding us of our shared humanity and the beauty that resides within every moment.

As a struggling art student, I was deeply wounded by my art professors through their negative comments about my artworks. As a result, I was unable to complete a painting for almost 20 years.

I became a successful ceramic artist, but longed to paint again. Through expert mentoring and soul-healing, I was able to overcome and become an award winning painter and art mentor.

I teach college classes using textbooks I have written and work with many creatives to unlock their artistic hearts, to enable them to make artworks that fulfill, satisfy and leave a desired legacy.

I lead Workshops and online courses and work with groups and individuals.

I am a wife, mother, grandmother and lover of God.
