Creating art is my daily devotion. Sometimes I’m just thinking about a creative idea, sometimes I’m gathering supplies for a vision, sometimes I’m tidying up from a past project, and sometimes I’m passionately working on a piece to bring it from spirit into form. Art has always been a way for me to connect with the deeper current of the divine. Having a daily creative practice isn’t just a nice thing to do, it’s a lifeline that keeps me tapped into what matters most.

I explored a Daily Devotion Creative Practice from June 16-24, 2025. I wanted to share what happened and where it took me. I started with bodymapping myself in an open star shape on a giant floor canvas.

I wanted to send a message to the universe that I’m open for my next chapter!

Once I set my intention for the journey and created a framework with my body, I used painted sticks to sculpturally explore what wanted to emerge.

Initially, I focused on one color in the rainbow each day. Starting with red sticks, I transformed my bodymapped arms into wings. Orange transformed my body into a channel.

Yellow became a symbolic color to let light flow through the channel of my body. Green transformed my red wings into leaves, which felt like a message that my growth comes from letting my spirit take flight. Blue alchemized the leaves into diamonds, which felt like something was crystallizing.

Purple surprised me by transforming diamonds into nests. 

I was intrigued by how the colors took me on a journey from my arms becoming wings, my body becoming a channel for light, the wings becoming leaves, then diamonds, then nests. As the nests were taking shape, I felt I was being given a gift. It felt like the universe said…

“You’ve got two nests that can grow anything you desire. What do you want to grow?”

I took some time to think about what I wanted to grow in these magical nests, and when I had crystalized two things, I wrote them on pieces of paper and placed them inside the nests.

Once I placed my desires in the nests, the channel of light started to pulse as if it was charging things up. I brought in creamy, light yellow and pink sticks to give the channel of light an electric warmth and softness. It felt like the whole creation was being nourished, and I knew my desires were being supported to grow.

I’m obsessed with the incredible texture, movement, and pulsing life that comes through when I layer the colored sticks. It feels electric to me!

I was working up close for most of the creation as I was placing sticks throughout this floor piece. It was surprising when I finally stood back and looked at it as a whole.

I couldn’t ignore how much it ended up looking like eyes!

Even though that was not what I set out to create, there they are. Two eyes looking at me.

It’s fascinating to reflect on the way this art piece unfolded…

It started with my body in an open star shape. My arms became red wings. My body became a channel for light. Then the wings became leaves, and the leaves became diamonds, and the diamonds became nests. The nests became eyes.

While I was making it, I was convinced they were nests, but when the eyes appeared, it felt like a direct message from spirit…

Your perception is the nest you live in.

The way we see things gives meaning to them, and ultimately shapes our experience. If I want to open myself to my next chapter, I have to open myself to new ways of seeing.

Reflecting on it all, I realized how much of my perception is tied to past ideas, past successes, past failures, past shame, past issues, and past dreams. To move forward, my perception needs to grow.

I am opening myself to see in new ways.

There is a nest holding me while I grow into my next chapter.

What a blessing to create art, to enter a journey with the divine, and receive insights that speak specifically to my deepest desires. If I want to move forward, I need to open myself to see in new ways. Spirit will hold me in my new vision so I can grow into it.

This art piece has given me a spiritual assignment… to open myself to see in new ways so I can grow into new life experiences.

I have a question for you…

How do you open yourself to see in new ways?
