To All Members of Our Community, For me, my activity with our Community for THIS YEAR will come to a close on Friday, as I will travel to Alpine, Texas to spend the holidays with my family. I will pop in on January 1st to ensure all is set for the Jan. 2nd kickoff of our 30 DAYS OF ART. Please know introduction, supply lists, etc are already open and waiting for you in our CLASSROOM. For those of you undergoing the challenge, I will have apost waiting for you on our discussion feed to CHECK-IN, meaning simply indicate if you are undergoing the Challenge. This is the thread that you will also share your art on. So don't be shy! I'll be sharing, so please share. :) SMASHBOOK SANCTUARY kicks-off with a January 5th LIVE Self Blessing (details are already in the Class, along with other important information to get you ready. BUT THE BIGGEST THING ABOUT THIS LAST WEEK is the LIVE WINTER SOLSTICE EVENT. Details are in the classroom. I really open my heart to any of you who join me for my annual personal celebration. It's two parts. There will be no replay. IF you are unable to attend the first part on Tuesday, unfortunately, I must ask you NOT to join in on Thursday as you will have missed a vital portion of this unfolding event. Monday's GOOD MORNING is the final one. Come if you can (Classroom/calendar has links). And lastly, the final posts for GEMS and GODDESS ARCHETYPES happen this week also. And then we will close for the holidays and I'll see you January 2026! Let's end 2025 together. See you this week. Bright Blessings, Kisma

I personally invite each of you to join me and other members of your community for my annual Winter Solstice celebration. I have details now posted in the CLASSROOM @ WINTER SOLSTICE This isn't about being an artist, this is about pausing and stepping into the YOU you are right now, today and self blessings. Soulful Self Identity --whether as an artist, writer or creative entrepreneur-- needs to be celebrated and I've found that doing so at the closing of one year in preparation for the new year, provides a rich and healthy foundation off of which to take the next step on our journey. Let me welcome you into my inner sacred space and come celebrate Solstice!

In this gentle year-opening session, I share the calmer path we’re taking in 2026 and introduce our new Fireside Chats with Kisma—a warm, grounded space to slow down, create, and breathe again. Please take a moment to watch this video and post any questions you have below so I can respond. Here's to 2026.
