Opening The Pink Light Support Circle ~ Winter 2026

In my clinical and coaching work, I’m seeing how many women right now are carrying stress, uncertainty and emotional strain quietly and alone.

In response, I’m opening The Pink Light Support Circle, a weekly sanctuary space for women seeking grounding, connection and emotional steadiness in supportive community.

This circle is not crisis processing. It is a calm, restorative space to pause, reset and reconnect before entering the week ahead.

✨ Guided grounding, self-care reflection
✨ Gentle, optional sharing
✨ Emotional and nervous-system reset
✨ Confidential small group environment

🕯 Begins Sunday, February 22, 2026
🕯 5:00 – 5:45 pm EST
🕯 Virtual (telephone access)
🕯 Limited to 8 women

Investment: $320 monthly
Founding members receive the introductory first month at $160.

If this feels supportive for you or someone you know, please contact my office to register.

A Statement of Values

I speak not from outrage, but from conscience.

I believe leadership should widen the circle of dignity, not narrow it. It should protect the vulnerable, honor truth, and respect the humanity of every person, regardless of origin, belief, or identity.

In recent years, I have felt deep concern about the direction of our national leadership. The tone, the division, and the normalization of misinformation and cruelty do not reflect the America I love or the future I wish to help build.

My disagreement is not personal. It is about values.

I believe democracy requires humility, accountability, and respect for institutions meant to serve all people, not just a few. I believe in compassion, environmental stewardship, and policies grounded in care rather than fear.

We deserve leadership that heals rather than divides, that invites cooperation rather than conflict.

My response is participation ~ voting, speaking, building community, and choosing responsibility over cynicism.

Because this country belongs to all of us, and its future is shaped not only by presidents, but by citizens willing to stand for decency, truth, and humanity.

And that is what I choose.

Lately the world feels loud and heavy.

Every headline seems to ask us to choose anger, fear or despair.

So tonight, I’m choosing something quieter.

A memory of warm sand, ocean air and the simple reminder that life keeps renewing itself, even after storms.

When the world feels overwhelming, we can still choose gentleness in our homes, kindness in our conversations, and care in the spaces we hold for one another.

Step away from the noise when you need to.
Breathe.
Touch something real.
Remember what steadies you.

Sometimes peace begins with the smallest moments in our own hands.

And even in winter, the Pink Light reminds us:
life, beauty and hope are always preparing their return.

Trauma Therapist vs. Non-Trauma Therapist ….What’s the Difference?

A trauma therapist is trained to recognize how trauma lives in the nervous system, body, and brain ~ not just in thoughts. Sessions move at a pace that prioritizes safety, regulation and consent, using approaches designed to process trauma, not simply talk about it.

A non-trauma therapist may offer meaningful support, insight and coping tools ~ yet may not be trained in trauma-specific methods or in working with responses such as dissociation, anxiety, shutdown or overwhelm.

✨ Both types of therapy have value.
✨ Not every therapist is the right fit for trauma work.
✨ Healing happens best when the approach matches the nervous system.

If trauma is part of your story, you deserve care that truly understands it. 🩷

Last Chance to Purchase Available Pieces

A gentle follow-up after this weekend’s Sacred Self gathering…

Several people lingered over paintings and poetry at Lackawanna Plaza, saying they wanted to come back or needed time to think.

If you were one of them or if you couldn’t attend ~ this is a little window of invitation.

Some original Angel Wings and poetry prints remain available, and I’ll be sharing images of available pieces over the next few days before they return to my private sanctuary collection.

If a piece spoke to you, now is a beautiful time to bring it home.

Art finds the people meant to live with it.

Message me directly for availability or to reserve a piece.

With gratitude for every connection made this weekend.

Five years ago, I moved through one of the most difficult chapters of my life. What emerged from that experience was a deeper understanding of discernment ~ choosing love while honoring truth and self-protection. Sharing a reflection on that lesson here.

Choose Love ~ With Discernment

Make all decisions from pure love,
and the world begins to change.

Love is often presented as the opposite of fear,
but true love is not opposite anything.
True love is the ocean in which all things arise.

Fear, anger, beauty, kindness ~
all move like currents and creatures within it.
Nothing exists outside this vast sea of love,
and nothing can truly be separated from it.

We are made of this love.
We live within it whether we remember or not.

Yet here, in this human life,
we must learn something essential:

Love without discernment leaves us unprotected.
Discernment without love leaves us closed.

The journey is not simply to choose love …
but to recognize where love truly lives.

Some approach in hunger, not kindness.
Some speak beautifully while acting without care.
Some mistake access to our light as entitlement to it.

Discernment is love grown wise.
It is the quiet knowing that asks:

Is this safe?
Is this mutual?
Is this true?

In this world of opposites ~ light and shadow,
truth and illusion, kindness and manipulation ~
we make choices and learn from them.
This learning is part of why we are here.

The deeper choice beneath all others
is whether we remember what we are made of.

When we remember, we choose love ~
not blindly,
but consciously.

We still move through cause and effect,
through mistakes and growth,
but awareness makes us wiser,
gentler,
more playful,
and more free.

Choosing love does not mean abandoning ourselves.
It means honoring the love within us enough
to protect it.

And when we do,
our lives begin to reflect the truth:

Love is not weakness.
Love is clarity.
Love is sovereignty.
Love is remembering who we are.

And when we forget ~
as all humans do ~

we simply return again
and choose love,
with open eyes.

One Step in the Light

Sometimes courage is quiet.

Not everything has to be solved tonight.
Not every answer arrives in a single breath.

Sometimes courage looks like
driving down the main avenue in neutral
and having faith you will reach your destination without incident,
making one phone call,
or choosing silence instead of worry.

The river does not rush itself.
The moon does not apologize for phases.
And you, too, are allowed seasons.

What matters is this:

You are still here.
Still creating.
Still loving.
Still choosing life, even when it feels uncertain.

Every small act of care
is a declaration:

I never left myself.
And I am proud of the doors I am opening now,
and of walking again through doors that once welcomed me.

And from that quiet loyalty,
new doors open,
help arrives,
strength returns.

Trust the next small step.
Pink Light meets you there.

The Wings Remember

These wings are not about leaving.
They are about being held.

They remind me
that an unseen world walks beside us ~
placing the right people,
the right moments,
the quiet miracles
exactly when we need them.

Feathers for every unseen hand
that steadied me.
Pink for love and gentleness that endure.
Sparkle for the playfulness
that keeps the heart alive.

They remind us
that life is never carried alone.

That synchronicities appear,
doors open,
help arrives,
and grace finds its way in
even when we cannot see how.

Stand near them long enough
and you remember:

You were never alone.
You have always been supported.

🥳 Today’s the day ~ come wander with me.

I’m so happy to share that I’ll be indoors today at the Sacred Self event, offering my Sacred Art infused with Reiki at beautiful Lackawanna Station in Montclair.

✨ Guided by Grace.

These wings speak of quiet miracles ~
the kind that arrive without announcement,
but change everything.

Gold for the light that finds us
even in uncertain hours.
For the unseen guidance
that nudges us forward
when we don’t yet know the way.

Layer upon layer,
like every moment of support,
every chance meeting,
every door that opened
just in time.

They remind us
that grace is not rare ~
it is constant,
waiting for us to notice.

Stand before them
and feel what they whisper:

You are guided.
You are protected.
You are walking a path
lit by more than your own steps.

If your heart needs inspiration, beauty, or simply a gentle winter outing, come explore and say hello. I would truly love to see you.

📍 Today, 11am–6pm
📍 1 Lackawanna Plaza, Montclair NJ

Come wander. Come reconnect. Come find something meaningful.

With over 100 indoor vendors, food trucks, vintage finds, and incredible artists, it’s the perfect winter day out. Come wander, connect and discover something special.

Follow for updates, and come say hello ~ I’d love to see you there.

Golden Heart Wings

Some wings do not lift us away.
They bring us home.

These heart-shaped Angel Wings emerged in blush and gold tones ~ symbols of resilience, tenderness and the quiet strength that forms after we have lived through difficult seasons.

Gilded strokes move across the wings like light returning after darkness. Hand-painted rosebuds appear throughout the piece, reminding us that healing and love do not arrive all at once, but bloom slowly, in their own time.

The wings feel in bloom, not finished ~ a living heart still growing. The rosebuds scattered across them whisper that love returns in stages, gently, after survival.

At the center, a layered floral heart gathers this energy ~ the place where healing collects before expanding outward again.

This piece feels less like descent and more like emergence. Hope after healing.

And together with my feathered wings piece ~ which speaks to protection during healing ~ this work represents the next chapter: opening again, blooming again, trusting life again.

Angel Wings | Re-Birth

Some pieces are created.
Some are remembered.

These Angel Wings were born from inheritance ~ from love passed through generations, from the paintbrushes my mother once held and from the quiet knowing that even after injury, something sacred still carries us forward.

The cascading feathers feel alive, almost in motion ~ as if the wings are still descending, wrapping around whoever stands before them. Protective. Soft. A place to rest.

At the center, a jeweled bloom forms a heart ~ a small portal where love gathers before expanding outward, reminding us that healing always begins within.

Above, textured scales give the wings a guardian presence ~ not fragile, delicate wings but strong ones. Feminine. Mystical. Protective. Wings that have known survival and still choose beauty.

The feeling is protection, softness, survival and beauty after injury.

These are not wings of flight.

✨ They are Re-Birth. They are symbols of how to Stay without conflict.

And honestly, this piece feels like a signature Pink Light Sanctuary creation ~ a reflection of the journey home to oneself.

✨ Original Artwork Available ~ $555

🩷 For anyone who kept going when others couldn’t see your truth.

⸻

The Doorway of Wings

They do not promise escape.
They promise return.

Feathers brushed in rose and gold,
worn at the edges
by every grief survived,
every prayer whispered in secret,
every time the heart chose love anyway.

These wings do not lift you
out of the world ~
they remind you
you were never meant to crawl through it alone.

They wait at the threshold,
patient as grace,
until you remember:

you have always been held,
even when others didn’t believe you.

And when you finally step forward,
it is not flight you discover ~

but home.
