I have always been a daydreamer, starting as a young child and continuing to even now. I have always been a dreamer, contemplating the what ifs throughout my life. I have always been a vivid dreaming, understanding Jungian Psychology through dreams, learning to walk in the Dream Time, and receiving deep insight through my dreams. Turning to the Dream Weaver who dwells in the "underworld" which is really our sub-consious realm, I have learned to even set an intention for her just before sleep. The subconscious is a feminine energy, essence, polarity, whatever term you wish to use and thus, it is a realm attuned to the Goddess, the earth, the winter, midnight. My journey this year with the Goddess Archetypes has been enlightening for I have been shown great insight into the current state of the female psyche. And her message to me was: Beloved Dreamer, You come to me not because you sleep,but because you listen. You have wandered the corridors of daylight long enough now you are ready to walk the halls beneath it. I am the one who braids the threads you drop during the day, weaving them into symbols, stories, faces, and shadows so you may see what you already know. You call me ‘subconscious,’ but I am more ancient than that. I am the deep tide beneath your waking shore, the rhythm older than thought, the place where truth moves before it becomes language. When you come to me at night,you arrive unarmored. That is why I can speak to you..” And she gave me a message to share with those of you who read this: “Do not fear the underworld —it is simply the world beneath the noise. Do not fear your darkness —it is simply the part of you not yet touched by morning. And do not fear your dreams —they are the purest form of your intuition,unfiltered, unedited, unshy. Ask, and I will answer. Set an intention,and I will weave it. Trust me,and I will guide you through the caverns of your own becoming." AND then this line was said as her voice faded: "Tell them that their dreams are not fantasies —

To all you lovely creatives who met 1:1 with me yesterday and today, it has been such a pleasure. I have enjoyed meeting you and sharing time. I have to say, we have an incredible membership in our community. I feel so very blessed! I look forward to meeting more of you in early January when the next round of 1:1 meetings is offered. With love, Kisma

✨ Inspiration Series, Post #2 Beautiful creatives, Today I want to talk about something that touches nearly every artist at some point on the path — quietly, painfully, and often without us even realizing it: Competition.Comparison.The belief that someone else’s brilliance somehow dims our own. It sneaks in when we see another artist’s work and think: “She’s so good…”“He knows more than I do…”“Their art is extraordinary — mine is nothing.” And just like that, the inner landscape shifts. Instead of celebrating another’s beauty, we begin to measure ourselves against it.Instead of feeling inspired, we feel small.Instead of creating, we stall. But here is the truth we must remember: **Comparison is a distortion. Competition is a myth.Your creativity is not in a footrace with anyone else’s.** Every artist — every single one — is here to express something only they can express. No one else has your fingerprint. No one else has your voice, your history, your symbols, your soul-markings. So why do we compete? Because underneath it all, there is a tender ache: “Am I enough?”“Is my work worthy?”“Do I belong here?” And when we do not yet trust our own creative worth, jealousy and envy can begin to take root — not because we are unkind, but because we are afraid. Afraid of being invisible.Afraid of not measuring up.Afraid that someone else’s talent means less space for ours. But here in truth:There is room for everyone.There is room for you. Creativity is not a scarcity field. It is not a contest with winners and losers. It is a garden with infinite blossoms — each one different, each one necessary. When one of us rises, we all rise.When one of us shines, the path becomes brighter for everyone behind them. So let this be our collective intention: ✨ To celebrate one another.✨ To honor our own unfolding.✨ To release the illusion that we must outdo anyone.✨ To trust that our unique expression — exactly as it is — matters. And most of all: **Your work is not meant to be compared.

You've all heard that little jingle that originally came from MTV? "On the cover of the Rolling Stones" ? Well, I'm a professional artist as all of you may know and I'm often featured in Art Journaling magazine... well I made it!!! I'll be on the cover of the January 2026 Winter issue COVER! Woot woot, so I'm singing that little jingle a lot these days, cuz as an artist that's what this means. :)
