Dear You,

Toni Morrison talked about how the most unoriginal idea out there is violence. It seems strange to me that there are still people on this earth who think that violence Is a solution. But we still don't fully know what life would be like if all of us were living from our heart-spaces. We still recreate trauma because it's familiar (all Democrats who didn't vote for Kamala, and all GOP who create laws that will hurt humans), and we still bow down to bullies ( the GOP to Trump) because we don’t know how to tap into our own power. Also it’s just easier to let someone else do it.

Day 460 art meditation, New “Resistance Sticky Art”  Wall Mural art, & ego-space vs heart-space theme … April  13 & 16 & 18, 2025 

April 18, I'm finally posting today and I finally made some new wall mural art out of my “Resistance, Sticky Art”.

April 16.  The way Katy Perry is talking about love is such a great example of the ego space SIMULATING our heart , heart space. Ego spaces need big ass things like space shuttles in order to feel love, big publicity stunts In the name of commerce, attention, spending tons of money, and doing all of it while most people are struggling and suffering and not caring. THAT is all ego. So it's really a really good illustration… Everything is always teaching us something. What is coming out of the Eco space and what is coming out of the heart space and how do we develop a true heart?

The other thing I just realized... the way you can tell Katy’s words of “love” are coming out of ego-space versus heart-space that egos are happy when they get something they want. So ego loves drama, like "sure, I'll go on the shuttle and then I'll say some really cool things when I'm done,". But a Heart space happens and opens when we are struggling and not getting what we want and still being able to be content and grateful and filled with love.

April 13.  The waves of pain in my broken arm come steadily and the pain is so impressive. It just makes me wonder what is this pain trying to tell me something?  Is it trying to talk to me ? is the physical pain through this arm trying to say how painful it is to be separated from my true self, which is ‘all lines are beautiful’… Is this the final birthing contraction???  That would be wild…

I am dictating into my phone on April 13 today and I may not have the energy to actually post everything until several days from now but that’s OK!

The other night I had this pain-free energy surge and I started to work on my store and putting some of this “resistance sticky art” into my store so I now have one T-shirt and one Midi dress for sale. :-) I bought the dress for myself, and I’m looking forward to the day when I can go outside and walk and be near people without worrying about the pins in my arm…. Photos are coming of that day…

The thing that I really want to observe and convey is how completely whole I feel when I am working on my all lines are beautiful projects. I might be in pain, can’t do gig work, have no idea where the money is gonna come from, have no idea how my arm is gonna heal, and yet and yet I feel this deepest joy and being content when I am able to spend some time on my art and writing and store.

Someone suggested to me recently that all dreams are not meant to become reality, and I could write into this negativity in many layers, but I did have to step back and realize that I am 100% already living the dream. 

We are so used to making money the primary value - That's how someone like Trump got to be where he is, we think that just because he has money he has value - and as much as I love money, Art and creativity and expression come first for me, because I think it's gonna help change the world. Once we all start following our hearts…. DO IT!Do the thing you love.

The difference between my heart space 10 years ago, when I might have been shattered by a statement like that, and my heart space today, a comment like that just washes right over me…. I know that I am filled with art and love. 

I just read this beautiful quote from Diane Bell, “Your success is dependent on what happens when you fail. It's dependent on how you stay on the path when it's hard. It's dependent on your ability to stay in your power when nothing is working.” @Shootfromtheheart1/DianeBell.com

I love that I was clearly able to say that I’m looking for my kindred spirits of ‘all lines are beautiful’. And that I’m so pleased that I found my tiny group of people who are already kindred spirits of all lines are beautiful.

And I didn’t say this, but I know that the most important thing is that I found my ‘all lines are beautiful’. I found me! Oh hello!

I am so grateful to be able to live in a time where creative and expressive people are able to define life on their terms. I think this is new. I I know there are people in the past who have done it in the most crazy limiting circumstances, but I genuinely believe that more and more people are doing it now.  Look at all the crowds of people who are Doing political protesting!

Much Love, Anne  ◉◎⦿◎◉

Day 459 art meditation, Joy and Pain … April 10, 2025 

Joy!

Joy is so easy for me. It's the small things, like bedsheets and table linens, and the dream of finding someone who is able to sew dresses for me out of fabric like this …The dream of having my designs be like what Marimekko is doing with their designs… #textilelove  #textilelovers  #textile 

Just one month ago, my one sister and I were at Ikea together for the first time in 10 years!  On the East Coast, I had a friend who loved Ikea as much as I did, and we looked forward to our Ikea dates. Here on the West Coast I found a friend who loves Ikea as much as I do, and I am happy to say that we have gone to Ikea almost every month for the last 10 years.

It's not that I love all of Ikea designs, it's about the ones that I DO love. The rare duvet cover that has a joyful pattern is such an easy way to bring joy into my home.

As my sister and I ran into a tiny pile of these duvet covers & they were even on sale and they were my size and I love this pattern so much.

I really want to emphasize pure joy and that it does not have to do with piles and piles of money, even if piles and piles of money would be a joyful event. Joy for me has to do with colors and the way the sunlight interacts with the colors and shapes. It has to do with the kind of reactions I get when I bring stuff like this home, even if it's not their taste.

…

Surgery update! I finally had surgery last Thursday, exactly a week ago. There were some complications with the surgery and so instead of just having a plate in my arm and a cast, which was the plan I woke up having four pins in my arm. I was in denial for 24 hours and then I asked G are these pins on top of my arm or inside my arm? To break it to me that they are inside my arm.

It took from the day of the fall the 23rd until yesterday for the pain management system to work. Holy cow. Yet another opportunity for me to learn how to speak up for myself and to keep calling and keep asking for a higher dose and not wait until someone decides to take care of me.

I am super grateful for my body, which seems to understand that once I pick my one of two positions to sleep in, I am not allowed to move. I'm also super grateful that this morning I slept for 4 1/2 hours nonstop and pain-free for the first time since the 23rd. I am super grateful that I am able to dictate into my computer and edit and work on my posts with my left hand! 

What's the bigger picture here? The amount of new empathy I have for everyone and anyone who is going through physical or emotional pain and has to wait for surgeries and who doesn't have the ability to advocate for themselves and who doesn't have anyone to advocate for them.  And it's definitely a new motivation to try to make the US healthcare system better so that we don't have to wait 10 days for surgery. 

It's not a super helpful thought, but did my arm get more messed up because I had to wait 10 days for surgery?? I will never know the answer to that question, and all I can do now is all the healing and all the visualization and ask for all the love and support to help me heal.

If anyone wants to support me and All Lines Are Beautiful financially, please consider becoming a member or visiting my art store or contributing to my GoFundMe account. 

Thank you and Much Love,

Anne

Day 458 art meditation, Resistance Art … April 3, 2025 

10 days ago, I fell and dislocated my elbow and broke my arm near my wrist, and this is the art project that I worked on for the last 10 days while I was waiting for surgery.

Today is surgery day.

Finally.

It's definitely an indicator to me that I am as happy as I am working on this art project and making this movie and speaking from my heart while the pain comes in waves.

Love, Anne

Day 456 Art Meditation, “Tree Ring, This is all of us” Heart Art, March 20, 2025

Dear You,

I’m still reading the book “Loving What Is” by Byron Katie, because I’m not loving what is. I’m learning about The Work, and have listened to 2 live Katie-sessions (plus the replays), because after ten years of having gig jobs, I still hate them. And I feel like it’s getting worse. Hunsickers were built to have full time jobs, and I envy my three siblings so much …

My Ego creates a depression that easily has me in bed all day. Warmth is apparently all I need.  

I’m trying to organize the world as 1) Me, 2) G, 3) the Universe, but I have this nagging feeling that there is a 4), that someday I’m going to have to open up to the world more. And that this that I’m doing now is not in fact me opening… Which is kind of hilarious.

I can’t decide if I have enough TRUST in me to walk away from DoorDash and Uber Eats completely to see if the Universe (which is me) will catch me. But you would have to catch me too, and that’s the part I don’t trust. I have to trust that if I ask for what I need, I will be supported. Yeah. That’s never gone well before. 

I’m considering raising my hand in one of Katie’s “Live at home” sessions, and seeing if I can tune into the clarity of her heart to work through this … 

What’s frustrating is that I KNOW it’s my ego taking charge with the depression, and I KNOW that my art and writing is where I find peace, so what’s my problem? 

On a meta level, it bothers me that artists and creatives are not valued more. 

So okay, I know, I know, I need to value myself more … But I’m still doing it within a patriarchy. I still live in a world of ego-values which I don’t align with. And that part of me says, why bother …

I don’t throw a depression-temper-tantrum every day. Some days there is the gym or swimming and I actually gardened for 15 minutes for the first time in a year, and I do all my writing in the car while I’m waiting with all the other drivers who wait in the parking lot, I meet my budget, I get to drive all over BEAUTIFUL San Francisco and kind of feel like my life couldn’t get any better. My life feels FULL and each piece is forward progress. I LOVE that I have so much silence to be in my creativity.

With all the gig jobs over the years, I have had some of the LOVELIEST conversations with people. This is what surprised me the most when I first started working in NYC in my late 20’s as a self-educated graphic designer, the amazing way we can really connect through art and design. The people connection is always my favorite part of any job …

“This is all of us, listen carefully” is my current ‘Tree Ring’ art, so how can I do that now? 

I feel strongly to infuse some Joy into these dark political times, so I’ll share this story:

I had a triple DoorDash shopping order the other day to San Francisco - (thank you thank you thank you!) - and the 3rd order of a dozen red roses canceled at the last minute, too late for me to return them, so I got to keep them. As I was driving around SF doing my other 2 orders, I wondered who I could give these roses to. 

I saw this woman standing on the curb carrying her groceries & waiting for the light to change …  I put on my blinkers and ran out with the roses … Hiiiiii !, handing her the bouquet and she was SO HAPPY. We both beamed. I explained about the ‘extra’ roses, and that I wanted to give them away as a way to process my disappointment that someone canceled and I get paid less. She hoped my day would get better and we chatted a few seconds about how this is the best way to create joy in the middle of ANYTHING. With permission for posting our photo, here we are. 🙂😍 

I love that I could tap into the pure JOY of a complete stranger.  It was just a few moments of something pure, pure heart. There was no interview for my ego to put her in some box and then judge her. It wasn’t even a Meet Up where “we have things in common”, which is also a kind of a box. 

Which just makes me wonder how else can I build pure connections of the heart? This tiny interaction filled my heart up for a week, and will probably stay with me forever.

Adding new wall mural art (controltac adhesive print), from my “Tree Ring” Heart Art Brand bundle series. Link to my store in bio.

Sending love, Anne

Day 454 art meditation, MIM museum … February 26, 2025 

Dear you,

Something beautiful about America: 

The second musical event that I (with G) got to experience last year, which was such a gift, was a trip to the MIM, the Musical Instruments Museum in Arizona. We could have spent a week in that museum, there is so much beauty to absorb … 

Every country in the world is represented. It’s what the world could be someday - all of us bonding with each other through art and music … heart and soul.

Every exhibit room included audio and video of some of the music each country is most known for, plus instruments, clothing and storytelling.

It is interesting it was founded by the former Target CEO and his friend, after they visited the Musical Instruments Museum in Belgium. How do we use our money towards good in the world …  What do we create? For me it isn’t the issue of anyone having “too much” money, because I know that the equalizing political economic ideas of former East Germany failed.

Movie recommendation: “The Lives of Others” about former East Germany. It’s relevant now more than ever. It’s a really good macro political example of how anyone who tries to control anything or anyone, can only hang on so long.  

I’m interested in how we design our lives, and how the lives we create affects the lives of those around us. These museum creators created something spectacularly Unifying, and I am so grateful I got to have this experience!  

For anyone who lives in or near Phoenix, go check it out.  

◎⦿◎

Until every human learns how to question their negative thoughts stemming from the ego, we will just have more things that our egos like: misery, pain and separation - on a sliding scale.

Example of a thought that brings me endless suffering, for how many decades now? -  using the Byron Katie ‘The work’ inquiry process: I hate anyone who is GOP. Is it true? Yes. Can you be absolutely sure that it is true? Pause. No. Sigh. Some of the people in my life who I adored the most were right-wingers, especially my German grandfather, but we never talked about politics. He lived until I was 32, so I have a lot of memories with him. He always brought to me his best self.   How do you react when you believe the thought, “I hate anyone who is Gop”? Anger that there can’t be more love in the world.  Who would you be without the thought? I could just have a conversation with people without putting labels on them. I could live with less hate and friction.  The turn around: “I hate anyone who is GOP” becomes “I hate me.” “I hate myself because I can’t get past my self imposed creative deadlines because I’m scared.”  Who would I be without the thought? I would work on filling my heart up with joy, so that I spend less time being pissed off at other people.

◎⦿◎

Speaking of heart’s desire, I’m finally focusing on my Art video writing, for my Tree Ring Heart Art Bundle. Here are all my notes, basking in the sunlight of my desk, ready for me to FOCUS.

Love, Anne

Day 453 art meditation, The days after the Peace / SF MoMA music …February 19, 2025

Dear You,

Of course my one day, 3rd day (ever?), of complete inner peace didn’t last more than a day. Which is why I’m so amazed at Byron Katie’s complete peacefulness within one day of her life.

But I am so grateful for the access to do The Work throughout my days now. It is the perfect thing for me to take on my 100 negative thoughts every day. And it is lovely to quickly ask, “Is it true?” / “No”. I mean some of my thoughts I can knock out with the 1st of 4 questions. I don’t even have to take the time to run with them …  

With Katie’s book “Loving what is”, I’m amazed at how quickly people get to the truth that connects all of us, with a little guidance. And I grieve at the thought that his interconnectedness is so easy, and it’s there now … I want to get the word out … 

Who would I be without those negative thoughts about my store? I think I have held onto those negative thoughts long enough. I would add more to my store. :) 

And so … I’ve added Unisex Hoodies of tree ring design, “This is all of us, Listen carefully”  to my store.

◎⦿◎

Last year I experienced two big music events, and they helped me remember how important music is in my life. I forget this.

Ragnar Kjartansson, “The Visitors” was showing at the SF MoMA. It left, and then people wanted it back, so they brought it back. I took a photo of Tanya Zimbardo’s (Assistant Curator of Media Arts) description.

It was immersive and I cried. As much as I love visual art, it doesn’t affect me the same way as music does. Art doesn’t make me cry, but combining art and music does.

Ragnar is the white man in the bathtub. Some of the lyrics that only he sings - “Protect the world from me” - are pretty profound. Could you imagine if Musk or Trump could get to the self awareness point where they make art with those lyrics? I love the symbolism of Ragnar being in a bathtub filled with water - the confessional cleansing of his mind and spirit.

I don’t know where else this is going to show up - maybe in Iceland? But it is definitely a healing event.

All I know is there is going to come a day, when we KNOW that we are all interconnected. And we will all feel goosebumps, just like this music event brought to me. Thank you Ragnar and friends for your art and music and heart-spaces.

Much love,

Anne

Day 452 art meditation, Inner Lightness, February 16, 2025 

Dear You,

I woke up this morning for what is probably the 3rd time in my 56 years, feeling completely light, anxiety free, and the blanket of negative thoughts is gone. It’s so amazing. G and I are trying to figure out if it will last, ha ha, our ego-spaces go right to work. All I know is how great it feels. It has nothing to do with external circumstances.

About this idea that we have amnesia, and we forget about feeling so good … I am still learning, but I like to think that the more aware we are of “hey, I felt LIGHT and negative free yesterday”, you HAVE something. You ARE it. At what point do you BECOME the lightness?  

◎⦿◎

Art! I went through hell to get to the point where I could really own my own art style, and my new way of making heart-art, and now I feel so much joy being able to wear the artistic symbols that come out of this journey. I’ve come out on the other side - from darkness, into gratitude for my journey and my art. And while I’m not perfectly joy-filled all the time, I know how to give myself grace.

This is my healing journey and we need more visible healing journeys out there. Inner journeys.  

I am completely aware that I take all my negative thoughts out on myself, with the reaction of eating sometimes imperfect foods as my comfort. Some people take their negative thoughts and destroy democracies. The healing continues … and every single healing journey counts …

I’ve been visualizing how to wear my art and brand, so I’m really excited to wear this now, my new pink t-shirt to go with my new pink dress. “Feel Your Heart through Art”, on the theme of people finding their hearts … 

It may not be the final look I’m going for, a t-shirt over a flowing dress, because I do like the straps on the dress. I’d love it if the art could go onto the front and back of this dress… But for now I love the feel of this.  

New T-shirts and more coming:

Sending out new words and new Tree Ring art, “This is all of us, listen carefully” for my online store. 

These “Tree Ring” design variations uplift me because they are like we are: each unique, a different set of colors. Each variation is a gift of joy, just like the variations of gifts that we humans have. Also humans need each other the way trees need each other, and the forest needs humans and humans need trees.

If you would like to support me financially, I would love it if you bought from my store.

Thank you and love, 

Anne

Day 451 art meditation, ‘The Work’ Byron Katie

February 8-9, 2025 

Dear You,

I still don’t love my unscripted videos, but I want to practice speaking spontaneously on video … Books. I have been asking for years now, where are my people? They are in books. What would I do without books?

00:00:00:00 - 00:00:46:20

Just a quick message. I, super excited that I found Byron Katie and the work. I've been searching for a really long time, how to, on a practical level, work on, or work through my negative thoughts. And, I have all these ways that do work, but I needed to do something more intense.

00:00:46:22 - 00:01:01:02

And after watching one 2 hour YouTube video of Byron Katie working with somebody, I also realized that I think I kind of stopped believing.

00:01:01:02 - 00:01:43:12

I stopped believing that hard openings actually work. I know they work for me when I'm working on my art, or I manage to say what I'm trying to say with writing, and I feel that opening. But, the transparency of Byron Katie's work, the public-ness of it, the fact that she does it in a group, and also that it's so accessible, it's not behind some huge paywall.

00:01:43:15 - 00:01:58:01

I'm so excited because I watch somebody else do the work, and I could feel her heart opening. I could feel the relief.

00:01:58:01 - 00:02:41:23

And, Oh, it just was such a relief. So, And it's also about the topic that I feel so…. bullied by these, the new white House and Elon Musk, the presence of these bullies who are running our government or trying to, do their power grabs. And so this, this particular Byron Katie session to our session was specifically about a woman who's afraid of Donald Trump and the process of doing all of that in her work. 00:02:41:24 - 00:02:57:02

I haven't felt something so good in so long. So I'm really excited. I bought this book, and, I know this work is hard.

00:02:57:02 - 00:03:27:08

I'm realizing as much resistance as I have, and I always say that I love this kind of inner work, but I know that I'm stuck. And to go into the deeper level of that, makes me also sympathize with anyone else who doesn't want to do, inner work or this idea that what is inside us gets reflected outward.

00:03:27:10 - 00:03:36:27

Anyway, I'm so excited about Byron Katie and the work, and I'm glad that I finally.

00:03:37:00 - 00:03:49:05

Open had an open mind enough to listen to her and all these other people who were doing their work. All right. Sending a lot of love.

…..

{This is my writing, where I get to edit my thoughts … }

What I love most about Bryon Katie’s ideas of the work: “Write it down, ask the four questions, and turn it around. But only if you are tired of the pain.” If you are tired of the pain.

Also, she often says, “Why are you asking me?”, when she points us to the higher wisdom inside us.

There are my constant negative thoughts, and I feel overwhelmed by politics today. With my German background, I’ve been aware of the fa**ist themes, since Hillary ran for President, and so I feel this constant urge to drop everything and do Resistance work 100% of my time.

I think when I get depressed, it has to do with I stop believing that heart spaces work. Or that I do NOT believe the relief that happens when people discover their heart space…  Proof of heart spaces not working is the fact that someone like T34 and Musk and Project 25 exist on this planet.

I should do The Work on this paragraph alone. (!)

Even though I know I feel  my own heart space when I am in my writing and art, I know my ego wants more proof of what heart spaces feel like. Swimming helps me ground myself …

The live sessions when Byron Katie works with one person in front of a group - and it’s a true and wonderful group dynamic with love and humor and trust (which quite frankly, I’m not sure I have ever experienced, other than books), I got my PROOF that heart spaces work.

It wasn’t “proof”, it was the fact that I felt it.

Love,

Anne

Day 450 art meditation, Valentine’s Day, Wonder Woman and Me, February 6, 2025

Dear You,

I kid you not, every time I step into my power, and I’m grounded and well-rested, the ‘Wonder Woman’ soundtrack starts playing … I am amused….

I just wonder if I should be “Failure Girl”... “Failure Girl”, not in a speak-it-into-existence kind of way, but that I’ve already failed, and to embrace the transition in a super heroine kind of a way …  

I so believe in the underdog. Me, and the work towards a healthy democracy. Which is ALL inner, spiritual work.

I am super grateful for the people who are showing up to support me financially, including my first GoFundMe help. (Danke!) It’s amazing when someone sends money and tells me directly he wants to help me make my dream of getting my art memoir published.

It’s worth feeling what this feels like …

Also, I think it’s just fascinating that the human wrecking balls that are in the white house, have the “self esteem” to “step into their power”. The most empathy I can have is that no one ever taught them how to be in touch with their feminine divine side, and their creative side. All they know is how to expand their egos by grabbing more more more … Without ever really being happy.

I created business cards for myself and am sprinkling them around wherever I go, and now can hand them out when people ask me for a card. 

For Valentine’s Day, I have new Heart merch! The more we listen to each of our higher wisdom that is in our heart-spaces, the more this world will change. 

Shopping link here!

If we are Trusting Ourselves JOYFULLY, it’s very different from the bully kind of trusting themselves. Because self-hatred doesn’t bring joy. And if we hate ourselves, all of that plays out externally … 

Joyfully and with love,

Anne

Day 449 art meditation, “Trust Yourself, Joyfully” Tree Ring Art

February 3, 2025

Dear You,

I feel like art and messages of the heart are pointless right now, because every day with Darth Vador(s) in the white house are doing something illegal. Despair and overwhelm is what the far-right wants us to feel. This is a critical week in getting information out about Musk infiltrating the US Treasury, and also how do we stand up against the other Darth Vador, (Russel Vought), so please follow these women on Substack  (independent non-corporate media) – for activism and legal support: lawteaandtruth.substack.com, chopwoodcarrywaterdailyactions.substack.com, Jess on Instagram: jesscraven101.

Also please let non-voters and republicans who aren’t paying attention, that their Social Security benefits are now at risk too. (Here goes the constant “I told you so” theme.)

I want to be mad at the people who trust themselves so LITTLE and have such low self esteem that they can either not vote, or vote for the darth vador types. But I do know that you can’t force inner growth.

My new art - “Trust Yourself, Joyfully” is about the idea of trusting our vulnerable inner heart spaces, when our ego-spaces like to feel like we belong, and be dominant. There are two kinds of self-esteem - heart and ego. And each has a sliding scale … 

The heart-space kind of self esteem is much harder to do. Less immediate rewards.  At 56 I’m late in life learning how to trust myself, let alone joyfully, and especially now. 

If ONLY we could each trust our beautiful inner heart spaces so much that people like those “in power” now would never reach any sort of power. If there is any sign of severe cluelessness, radical right, maga-ism, bullying, toxic masculinity, immediately send them all to art school plus grad school in art. Take all that patriarchal negativity and have them make ART. 

On a gratitude note: when was the last time you heard anyone in the Gop express genuine gratitude? Just simple gratitude about how beautiful a sunrise was, or how amazing dinner was?

I’m SO grateful that G and I finally visited the Orchid farm that is near us. I needed something to lift my soul up. We found out that it partners with the National Parks Service/Golden Gate National Recreation Area. It was beyond magical … Every time we drove past the sign I just thought it’s going to be a small garden, but it’s huge, and G and I both agreed that so much comes down to marketing - what do we value, what can we be talked into … Which is political too.

What a beautiful country we live in … I’m so grateful for the pockets of every kind of love and beauty. Sharing photos.

Adding Wall Murals to my store - “Trust Yourself, Joyfully”. (Material: Controltac Adhesive Print Print.) 

Love,

Anne

Day 448 Art Meditation, GoFundMe, Knocking on a New Door, January 28, 2025

Hi everybody,

I was standing in line at a grocery store and one of the front covers of a magazine had 3 women celebrities celebrating their “Self Love”.

Reaching celebrity status is not the definition of Self Love.

Self love is when you are at the bottom, you don’t have a plan, and you still love yourself. Self love has nothing to do with how we look, how much money we have, how perfect our resumes are, how many professional recommendations we have, or how popular we are. It has to do with figuring out how to rebuild our lives when our lives have fallen apart, but a huge distinguishing question is: are we rebuilding from our Hearts, or from our Ego-spaces?

My previously successful graphic design career tanked, and it would take most of the last 10 years to understand that I am rebuilding from my heart-space. I am following my heart now. I am learning how to write, make art and speak from my heart. I never knew that before, I was following my ego. It – that old version of me – wanted security, easy answers, low-effort and avoid the shame of failure at all costs. These are all a few things our egos love to do.

I’m making this video for my GoFundMe campaign, to go with my Day 448 art mediation.

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage”, said Anais Nin.

I’ve been working on new art, it’s called “Trust Yourself, Joyfully”, which is part of my current Heart Art Brand Bundle, “The Tree Ring”.

All the writing and art that is “All Lines Are Beautiful” has been the slow journey of how to trust myself, listening to my heart, which is an inner space that all humans have, but we aren’t taught how to listen or trust.

Several days ago, it was announced that the ERA is finally passed, the 28 Amendment of the Constitution, Equal rights for all, regardless of gender, and it just makes sense for me that I stand up today and advocate and fight for me, inspired by the original suffragettes, and all the beloved and inspiring books I’ve read and loved for the last 36 years. All by women who found their voices and sense of humor in spite of hard circumstances.

When are women enough?

I know I like those words, but how do I live those words?

I know I am enough when I respect my journey, step into my power and advocate for myself - all something I was not taught how to do.

I found what I want to do WITH LOVE for the rest of my life BECAUSE of this failure, which is everything that is“All lines are beautiful”. With GoFundMe I want to open up more TIME in my day to do all my projects.

Here is the list:

• Finish writing and designing my art memoir and get it published, and hopefully work with an editor and a publishing team

• I create a new way of making art, which is different from how I used to make graphic design. I call my art Heart Art because it has so many hidden layers.

• To publish my art Love Letters into other artists who have both followed their intuition, and suffered and still brought out their art.

• For me to design one Heart Art Brand Bundle at a time, which includes

• One paper wall sculpture

• One paper dress

• A photography design

• New art merch - to promote beauty and heart-values

• New art prints and wall murals

• Regular Art Meditations

• A new art video

The leader in me wants to point out that I am not ashamed of my failure, and it’s important to acknowledge that I failed. But the point is I dug into my heart-space.

Jenifer Lewis said recently, “It’s going to take a lot of love to balance all the hate. That’s what All lines are beautiful is … I also love Vincent Van Van Gogh’s quote, “What is done in love is well done”. I know I need to USE my voice.

I have been unpacking how the micro trauma of my life has created incredibly low standards for my life.

I am grateful for all the retail jobs that have helped keep me afloat the last 10 years, and in a way I like driving Uber Eats. It’s easy, it’s quiet and I like connecting with people, whether that is seeing how much people are also struggling or seeing how they are creating beauty.

But the other day I was aware that driving Uber Eats is not a challenge. I can hide. And self-esteem wise, I’m making it acceptable. I’m not reaching for more. My terrified ego-space just wants to keep doing what feels easy, and Uber Eats is so easy.

If I want to do All Lines Are Beautiful full time, I have to have courage.

The thing is, I know I am content and my heart is full in a way I have never experienced before. This part is amazing to me, and I want more people to be able to experience this Contentedness, and know it’s possible for anyone.

I’ve been knocking on a lot of doors -

my online art store,

substack,

memberships on my website,

heart art brand bundles for commission,

and figuring out how to self publish my art memoir and my art love letters.

I don’t have answers, but I know that I’m growing my heart-space every time I step forward in alignment to my Heart-space.

I love the timid support that I’ve received up until this point, because other people’s Heart-spaces will be afraid. Our inner ego-spaces love what is familiar and popular.

I know I am something new …

I feel like I live in a big circular room with amazing skylights, windows, sun, warmth, colors and everything that is my world, and the room has a lot of doors, but I don’t know where those doors are. I don’t know which door is going to open for me. But I'm going to keep feeling for an opening and keep knocking.

I do have trust and faith that a door will open.

In fact, the most important door has already opened, the one into my heart. Now I just need to find the people who have the courage to support me.

Knocking at the GoFundMe door, is with the intention of creating more financial support so that I open up more TIME for me to work on my many projects. Right now I am only one person, although I love the idea of having help someday.

I say I want to do “All Lines Are Beautiful” full time, but am I really ready? I know how easy it is for me to choose depression.

But I decided that I am ready.

I am finally ready.

Your support would help me spend more if not all of my days on my multiple projects.

My world of All Lines Are Beautiful lives on alllinesarebeautifulartsoulfully.com.

Any help, like donating or sharing, gets me closer to my goal. Thank you in advance for your kindness and support.

Ultimately our heart-spaces feel like a Relief, and it’s that sense of relief that I want to bring to the world, with your support.

Love,

Anne

Day 447 art meditation, 1/23/25, “Trust Yourself, Joyfully, Tree Ring Art”

A quick little walking note while I’m on the grass … I joined a new gym, for the 2nd time in 12 years, but this one is going to stick …  :) It is a Rec center and a pool, and I love the full range of ages that come here. It’s just so exciting, I love it, it’s adorable, it also happens to be a state-of-the-art beautiful modern design, (which is just a weird gift from the Universe/God, because there is this incorrect thought out there that only nice things belong to rich people). 

This center happened because there was a tragedy. The PG&E pipelines exploded - you can research it - this was in California - and in this little town 10 people were killed. And of course the PG&E corporation denied it at first, but they ended up fixing all the pipelines at a great cost, and of course now it’s much safer. 

Out of the court Settlement came $70 million dollars for this community, and this community voted in the decision to create this Rec center, which is great for us physically and mentally. Beauty created out of tragedy … 

It occurred to me that it’s a little link to my “All Lines Are Beautiful” message, which is “What do you create that is BEAUTIFUL, out of something that is really hard, suffering and loss. 

I’m just really grateful so much, for being part of this Rec center community, I’m doing something really good for myself, and the backstory of this Rec center is in line / aligned with All Lines Are Beautiful.

Posting my  new JOY art for this Heart Art Brand Bundle the Tree Ring art: “Trust Yourself Joyfully”. 

Much love,

Anne ◉◎⦿◎◉

Day 446 art meditation, 1/17/25, “Joy, Tree Ring Art”

Dear You,

“Don’t fight the darkness. Don’t even worry about the darkness. Turn on the light and the darkness goes. Turn on that light of pure consciousness: negativity goes.” David Lynch. 

I’m posting my new art with sun streaming all over it. Negativity gone.

There’s this question out there, who would you invite to your dinner party past or present if it could be anyone, and for me it would be David Lynch. He had this incredibly clear way of seeing the world, such a strong intuition, and never limited himself creatively. It seems to me, from Eraserhead on, he was very aware that there are no rules in life ….   RIP.

My heart is going out to everyone in Southern California whose lives have been completely turned upside down in a blink of an eye. I am so deeply moved by all the love and support that is happening, even around the world.

I’m also really hurting for the people out there who can’t seem to connect emotionally to the pain of this tragedy. That’s not how we humans were built to be. We were designed to love each other. And if we aren’t loving each other, then something is broken …

I have that same brokenness and darkness in me …I’ve been really depressed lately, and it’s the same way of being disconnected from heart-space…

I’m learning that if I can touch my depression (the darkness) and come out of it, that’s an amazing skill.

We can flip ourselves … We don’t need to stay in that space … We can change. Even if the depression and darkness is familiar… David Lynch makes it sound so easy…

We need to learn how to not punish ourselves, which is this huge list that G is working on. We don’t even KNOW how much we punish ourselves with our choices, which can be everything from not exercising, to not doing something you love, to not voting, to who you vote for …

The more we punish or hate ourselves, the more we project that either onto other people or onto ourselves. 

The more we have joy in our hearts, the more we empower those who have joy in their hearts.

The compassion I have is that we do not KNOW until we KNOW.  Suddenly something inside us (our heart-spaces) makes a move towards open. Blossoming. Flowering. Sunlight.

I love the  sun shining onto my new art on my desk. JOY. I bought these greetings cards from my FAVORITE store, the MoMA Design store. I love them so much. I want to figure out how to make them, and I can picture my art as a stained glass window or card … With sunlight …

The metaphor is we can either let the light in, or we can not let the light into our hearts, and the difference is so visible. The card looks like a stained glass window - you can see it best when there is sun shining through it. The card and envelope is a beautiful tall skinny size, with a beautiful teal-blue. 

The art is one of Henri Matisse’s Paper Cut out art pieces, which is all art that he made later in his life, when he was confined to a wheelchair, and could no longer paint his oil paintings. From his wheelchair he would cut the paper, shapes, colors and give directions for his assistant and painting-model to glue them onto the huge walls of his home in Paris. (Such an amazing example of creating beauty out of physical pain, as I try to figure out when to have double knee replacement surgery…)

Of course many art critics initially called Matisse’s art “jokes”. I love how there are people who trust their hearts with art and people who go right into their egos with criticism. Art is a great teacher of heart vs ego.

I saw Matisse’s Paper Cut out exhibit at the MoMA Museum in 1990 and it was one of the most amazing events of my life. To this day. The pieces were the size of the entire wall, and it was spectacular.

(That is definitely one of the “dots” on my logo, that led me to here and now, helping everything in my life make sense.)

I wanted this version of my Tree ring art to tap into Henri Matisse’s love of shapes and color, with the bright colors of yellow, orange, green, red, blue and purples.

I’m working with the theme of “Trust Yourself Joyfully”.

Love,

Anne ◉◎⦿◎◉
