A warm invitation to women the world over

Hello!

Today, I have posted a new link to my blog. It is an invitation for you to join me on Skype, in a world-wide chat on Women in the World.
This forum is not limited in topics that we women might want to discuss, and to help open this broad door of possibilities, I am framing it as sacred space; of mutual respect and safety for women the world over, in order to come together and talk about what is on our minds.
For example: can we end war world-wide now: city-by-city, country-by-country until we have abolished war all over this planet? That's a big topic! Do we feel worthy to take this one on?
How about something a little more manageable like, how do we feel about ourselves out in the world of work? Competitive? With whom? Why? Is this a choice we are freely making? Does it fit? Do we want this idea dominating or framing the way work is pursued or accomplished in the world?
Since I am an artist hosting this chat, I invite women in the arts to come forward with the areas that are important to you. What is it like to be a woman artist out in the world in the 21st century? Do you find adequate support to develop your work? If so, what does that look and feel like? If not, how would that support look and feel for you?
Join me there won't you?! Scroll down on the right until you discover the link for yourself. I invite you warmly for this world-wide chat on all topics, between us girls.

Hint: look for this image on the chat link, as you scroll down!

Help! I need somebody! Help, not just anybody!

I am re-writing this post to reframe/ clarify that I am seeking to be found by the right person. The person who can support me as a working artist. What this means is I am seeking a matron/patron as I have written before.
Not a common search to be sure yet, I do not seek what might be commonly found. Commonly found or accepted such as people who buy the good art that is in the marketplace, as opposed to someone who would gain pleasure from supporting the progress of one. One whose work pro-actively participates in the world's healing process!
My painting reflects strength out of which comes sincerity about what I see. Perhaps reflections of my own lifelong healing process, and thus a body of work reflective of intimacy that can only most effectively be communicated without words.

The one who "would want me" is of a weave who knows them-self gaining in equal pleasure supporting the progress of another. A sincere happiness to the self that does not frighten the one who makes such commitments. A commitment that happens in recognition for work that beautifies the world in such a way as to solicit peaceful respite. A pause in recognition to consciously connect to what is inherently possible in each one who recognizes truth. Possibility inherent in each one, even as this recognition is sometimes journeyed to through many challenges. The mystery of healing this unlearning attachment and aversion. That healing is a unique process found in the rhythms occurring as in a symphony, or visually as in a tapestry or painting woven or painted right before one's eyes_ a unique process occurring each in one's own time. One's own rhythm! To be true to that, is to experience delicious risk. The risks that leads to one's own courage. In that place when consciously guided, is found one's own solidity. But I run up the path a bit quickly, when matronage/patronage is the subject here. To experience adequate support is to spread the capacity to share non-verbal seeds of healing more widely. Come forward now. It is a good time to show up.
At the core of my unique working/creating path can be found strength, articulation, persistence. A working project proposal of which the universality in my own journey can be found here.
This particular project would also be a good point of contact for those who may only want a more finite experience in supporting the working life of an artist's productivity. Contact me about it. Let's talk.
If, on the other hand you are reading this and know (of) someone who is this dear longterm supporter yet, who may not be particularly computer oriented, tell them about this site. We may both be looking for each other. Help them take a look.
Thank-you.
