You’re so very welcome Jaqueline! 💕 And thank you for the compliment. Very kind of you. I’ll join you in being a nut for cozy! Been in Wi all my life, so I’m well practiced. 😁
You have no idea how much your post resonates with me right now. There seems to be something going on in the collective field right now about letting go of all the musts and shoulds. Thank you for your amazing words and this incredible song! It is so so so so cool! I love how it is fierce and compassionate at the same time, in lyrics and melody! Just perfect! Can I find this on Spotify as well? I really want to listen more often
Sighhhhhhh.....thank you so much, my poetic sister. 💖
I really appreciate you sharing this all with me. I love that it's a resonant idea for many of us at this time. It isn't always easy to relax into 'being without doing' as that conditioning certainly runs deep. As the veil of illusions drops away, the path that leads us home to ourselves is getting easier to walk.
And thank you for enjoying my song! It does want to be recorded again, but I will also make this version available.
It's not on spotify, but stay tuned for a way to download it. Thanks to Angela, I'm inspired to get it online for downloading tomorrow. I'll be in touch! 💃
What a lovely post and vlog. So artistic and courageous…to not post…to let yourself follow what feels right for you. I have been tenacious about posting every week. And sometimes it feels like too much. Sometimes I wonder about doing nothing for a time (which is not what you are doing my dear friend…as your artistry is quite clear and obvious). It was nice to see more of your setting and know you a little differently in this way. Thank you.
My sister Terra, thank you so much for watching! 💖
I so admire your consistency with your blog. It's incredible to me that you manage to share every Thursday. I think there's a real value in maintaining that level of commitment.
At the same time, it's important to honour our natural ebbs that cycle with the seasons, and allow ourselves to step into silence; to don it like a cloak of peace for a while. Balance truly is an art.
PS.If you have the time and/or desire, I encourage you to watch vlog #2. There is some really beautiful footage I captured at the cusp of autumn.
It is such an art. I will have to go back and see that one and lately, I have just been keeping my head above water keeping up with travel and email...so it may take me a bit. I love the sense of a cloak of peace...and I am reminded of a photo I took of a carpet pattern I loved of leaves. It looked so real and three dimensional, like one could fall into them. I hope you have been able to jump in some leaves lovely one. That has always been such fun! I will keep going for now unless I really feel I desire to stop for a time or it feels like a burden. It is so key to enjoy what one does. That is an art as well (which is funny isn't it...it seems like it would be so natural and easy and there is so much one learns that needs to be unlearned to do so...at least for me).
beautiful as ever, walking that similar path through the woods, and into my own little oasis...love your new song, I can't wait to hear the WHOLE SONG!!
I immediately recognized the song you were dancing to but I just can’t place it! An 80s band obviously, but who is it? Pet Shop Boys? FYC? Depeche Mode?
Jacqueline, you are a beautiful soul. I feel all of this. Hope you had a lovely and warm holiday season. Wishing you many blessings, and much peace, as you continue to create and be you in 2026. oxox
And what a gift it is to receive this message from you, beautiful soul sister. THANK YOU so much for taking in my art! 🤩
The holidays with my sister and nieces were rich and healing on so many levels.
I'm very much enjoying hibernation season and my little break away from doing anything while I dance with BEING! 💃
Your support for my creative expression is so deeply appreciated. You are angel out there reminding me to keep going....
I hope/know/trust your holiday season was nourishing and that you are enjoying the richness and abundance of love in your life, Deborah. Sending you mine from afar! ❤️
Beautiful friend, I took it all in as if I was reading between all the lines. Love your voice over the videos. So glad you're playing with little films. It's becoming my passion lately. And you know how much I love street art!! 🙌🏻 nature, sentiment. You are a gift to my soul. So very glad you had love and lovely company for the holidays. We, too, were home in my mum's tiny Christmas tree farming town. “Home where we are loved.” So important.
This was my Merry Christmas to my friends here on the road home to Oregon, starting in California. I think you might reach your arms to the heavens, as I do in my private moments with this incredible music. “This little light of ours, we’re gonna let it shine… with our beloved tunes in our beloved rooms.”
I did not expect to enjoy SO MUCH the art of mini film-making!! I love that I can feel the flow and sparks of inspiration as I put the puzzle pieces together. And then the art of adding music and edits that make it its own unique living thing. No wonder you love it so much!!
My dad has been ailing for a few months now, and that has taken me away from my usual focus on my life and art. I am flying out to BC next week to spend some
Quality time with him. I know a song will be written and art will be made from my experience with him at this stage of his life.
Thank you for being a beautiful angel in the world Deborah, and for sharing your inspirational art.🥰✨💫⭐️
Oh dear friend, I am so sorry to hear your dad is ailing. My heart went boom because I know this ailing. Art, music, is our living, breathing. You will be creating deeply through this time. Safe travels to you and I will hold you, your family and dad in my prayers.
And right? making little films and figuring out the little details of how you want them seen, heard, etc., is very addicting and cathartic. It’s such a joy to express that way. We are leaving a piece of our hearts to the future. Love you Jacqueline. Take good care during this time. oxox
So talented, where can I download this on repeat!!!! <3 <3 <3
hahahaha!! Thank you Angela!! I'm working on that! In the meantime, I'll give an mp3. 😘
Love that picture! Your nest looks very warm and inviting. Glad you are well and thank you for sharing Jaqueline! 🙏💖
Hello, my friend!! I'm a nut for cozy. :)
Thank you so much for being here. AND for always being so lovely. 🥰
You’re so very welcome Jaqueline! 💕 And thank you for the compliment. Very kind of you. I’ll join you in being a nut for cozy! Been in Wi all my life, so I’m well practiced. 😁
such an irrespressible personality!
Awww! I'm basically like a dancing mushroom, David. LOL!! 💃🍄
Your eye and ability to capture natural beauty will go a long way to inspiring my attempts to do the same. 🙏
You’re talented and impassioned!
If you’re a dancing mushroom then you know I will want to photograph you!

Here's to the journey of unravelling.....
If life is like a box of chocolates, it sure seems to be full of the ones that have a delicious treat hidden in the center!
Much love & many hugs to you, Terra. xo
Like the new song! (and I don't like control-freaks)
Me neither!! The only ones who do are other control-freaks! LOL!!
Thank you so much for listening, Domenic.💃🙏
beautiful as ever, walking that similar path through the woods, and into my own little oasis...love your new song, I can't wait to hear the WHOLE SONG!!
How weird!! You and I being in sync?! 😂
Thank you my beautiful friend. Here's to the art of ever walking winding paths that always lead us to the oasis of our dreams. 💖
Lovely. Thanks for sharing . Awesome place to be outside !
Tray! Thank you, brother. No doubt you dig the beauty and trees!! 💖
xoxoxo
I immediately recognized the song you were dancing to but I just can’t place it! An 80s band obviously, but who is it? Pet Shop Boys? FYC? Depeche Mode?
Depeche Mode, baby!! Everything Counts in large amounts...sung with a British accent of course. 😂💖💃
Thank you! After I typed Depeche Mode I realized, Yes! That’s who it is!!
Btw you don’t look old enough to be an 80s music fan.
Bless your beautiful heart, Mel! hahhaaa! 😘
Jacqueline, you are a beautiful soul. I feel all of this. Hope you had a lovely and warm holiday season. Wishing you many blessings, and much peace, as you continue to create and be you in 2026. oxox

And thank you, my dear sister. Love love love, it's all a test to return to love. ❤️❤️❤️
Thinking of you and pray the time is beautiful with your dad. And it is. It’s all a test to return to love. oxox
