Belly LOVE: FEARLESS


I have been thinking alot about being FEARLESS.

Staying committed to my exercise practice....is FEARLESS. Hiking to the top of the mountain with my girlfriends....FEARLESS. Going to Yoga class instead of sleeping in.....FEARLESS.

But honoring my body...taking a break when I know I'm doing too much.....is just as FEARLESS as when I push myself to do another five squats.

Accepting who I am, what I look like, what I feel like, how my body shows up right now-- right here.....FEARLESS.


Belly LOVE is like painting FEARLESS. You have to show up, you have to listen closely, you have to be consistent and committed for there to be change.

I practice being FEARLESS when I paint. It is helping me LOVE me more. It is helping me to be brave in everything I do. I believe it's even helping me get up and workout in the morning.


For this week, I want to honor four amazing women...who have moved forward into FEARLESS Belly LOVE...who inspire me to be braver....inspire me to commit to my own Belly LOVE deeper....who inspired me to paint this FEARLESS painting here.

Dear Lisa, Jenn, Christine, and Heather...I paint for you....



Please take the time to experience the FEARLESS Belly LOVE wisdom found in these incredible posts...

Oh i just LOVE these works you are creating (birthing) They are stunning and they are drawn from the deepest source of you.
I remember when you did those little lovelies you said something about trying to discover what kind of girl you had within you that you could create artistically along the lines of suzi blu etc and the wonderful beautiful synchronicity is that you didn't really have a little girl in you that wanted to be created. You had these smart, wise, healing goddess women inside of you that were wanting, needing, desiring to be expressed. I think this is wonderful and i think that this is authentically YOU in all your glory!!
I am so very happy for you my fierce goddess sister.
