emerging from the fire

mary jane dodd

literally

and figuratively...

it is through the use of fire that i am able to best express myself... 

is there a medium or tool that if it were taken from you, you would feel as if you had lost your ability to speak?

what aspect of your work makes your spirit soar?

makes you feel like you have tapped into what you were born to do?

december reflections

mary jane dodd

wishing you

and oh so much love... 

a contemplative time of year... 

the solstice has past and the season of joy and giving is upon us... 


the darkness seems to intensify introspection...

from one who has spent christmases (and other holidays) alone while the kids are with their dad - i extend light and love... 

if you don't have anyone to love in your reach, love from afar... 

or how about trying an exercise in self love... 


immersing yourself in whatever feeds your passion... 

start putting out into the universe the things you want in your life... 

this has easily been one of the most challenging years of my life - but when you stay open (and practice gratitude), the balance comes into play... and so i have also had one of the most love-filled and beautiful years... i have had people extend friendship to me in ways that leave me awestruck...

i am humbled... 

and thankful... 

and i wish for you love - it is the energy of life... 

live it, breathe it, share it, be it...
