closet clean out + other tales of unraveling

closet clean out + other tales of unraveling

by kellyrae | Friday, November 16, 2012 | My Creative Practice, Wear Your Joy™ | 18 comments

(a view into my closet post-clean out) I can feel now how all this work to stay open and tender brings on a sense of fierce grace + fearlessness. I can feel now the power coming back to me, my sense of center being redefined. I can feel how the unraveling is guiding...

❤️Time and time again, something magical happe ❤️Time and time again, something magical happens when I practice letting go. The space that the letting go creates becomes an irresistible honey pot that attracts something beautiful to drop in. 🌈Recently, I let go of my beloved Art Dates, an offering, and a community I've nurtured for 8 yrs (plus a reliable revenue stream). And more importantly, I’ve been letting go of all sorts of old beliefs/harm that live in my body. (Therapy has been so healing for me). Along the way, I wake up saying aloud, “I am open to being surprised.” 🍯And just like that, my honey pot of space attracted the MOST MAGICAL thing. 🙏🏼I have signed a contract with Hay House publishing to be the artist/illustrator of the 40th Anniversary Edition of Louise Hay‘s groundbreaking bestselling book, You Can Heal Your Life. Over 50 million copies sold! This special 40th Anniversary Ed will be available next year, and will include about 40 full-color images (including the cover!) of mine. 😮Whaaaaaaat? YES! 🙌🏼What a magical surprise and opportunity of a lifetime! I am not sure it would have arrived had I not created space in my life by letting go. There is so much trust in the middle and so much joy on the other side. 📚I have owned many of Louise’s books, including the original You Can Heal Your Life book for many many years. It sits in my bedroom amongst my favorite books whose authors feel like big sisters and mentors to me. OMG! 💞It feels like a dream to collaborate with her spirit in this way. I am thinking of her, calling on her, re-reading her words. The divinity of timing – at a moment when I’m consciously healing – isn’t lost on me. 🎨Creatively, it’s a delicious challenge, too. I am wildly grateful. 🍯Here’s to letting go, and creating irresistible honey pots of space that attract something beautiful to drop in. ❤️Big Big Love, Kelly Rae 👁️ PS: Please envision me over here inspired and making beautiful art for Louise's book. I want to make her proud:) 📷: @inherimagephoto
Dearest friends, I've been over here working and Dearest friends, I've been over here working and living and dreaming and all the things. One of the things I've been saying to myself each morning upon waking is "I am open to being surprised today." And like magic, surprises are unfolding. I love the way The Universe works. 🦄One of those surprises has been my collab with my friend @katiedaisy_artist called Wild Beauty (@wildbeauty_sisters) our quaint little showroom & occasional shop in Sisters, Oregon! 🌈We have been slowly working on her, and she's finally ready for her debut/grand opening! Will you come help us celebrate? 🙏🏼All are welcome. It would be lovely to see you! ❤️More soon and so much love, Kelly Rae
Omg! The last two days have been bananas!!! I taug Omg! The last two days have been bananas!!! I taught two back to back classes yesterday at The Quilters Affair (had the sweetest students) and today I had a big vender booth at the @sistersoutdoorquiltshow (#sistersoutdoorquiltshow).

Thank you too to my fabric line partner @benartex_fabrics for their wonderful support! I didn't take a single photo of my workshop or my booth (again, bananas!), but here are a few photos from today.

Before I picked up my first paintbrush at the age of 30, I was a medical social worker. I followed my whispers and started playing with paint, and everything changed.

I’m now a full-time artist, author, and Possibilitarian who helps women explore their creativity and nourish their souls.
