Not only am I super excited to share that I finally have some music merch for you, but I also wanted to share with you the special story behind my new(ish), redesigned logo!

It starts off a little silly! Do you remember Shrinky Dinks?

Around 5 years ago, some friends and I were having a ladies night, and someone brought some Shrinky Dinks for us to have fun with! Sunflowers are my favorite flower, so I started making a sunflower Shrinky Dink, and decided to put a dreamcatcher ring around it (at this time in my life, I was obsessed with making dreamcatchers, which I sold at the local farmers market).

Dreamcatchers have a special meaning to me. The tale goes that when one is hung above the bed of a dreamer, the webbing captures the "bad," (meaningless) dreams, and the good (meaningful) ones trickle down the feathers and into the dreamers mind.

To me, this is symbolic to love in our waking life. Love is the dreamcatcher. I believe that if you do your very best to make your choices in life from the heart, love will bring more miracles into your reality than you could possibly imagine.

This is the meaning of my logo. The sunflower in the middle represents the blossoming of a heart guided by love.

So, that night after I made my Shrinky Dink, it just dawned on me that this was meant to be my logo.

No one is perfect, and we all fall to weak, egotistically moments in life. It's part of being human.

I pray that every time you see my logo, it reminds you of the power of centering into your heart and trusting love: trusting the path being presented to you, and trusting in your intuition.

Below is a little poem I wrote a few years ago about it:

The weeping willow weeps no more
As her medicinal bark soothes us to the core
Along with her beauty and grace
She brings forth a contagious strength

Her twigs will be woven and webbed
To hang as a dreamcatcher above the bed
She filters the fear that has no place here
While the feathers hung send messages of love

May the dreamcatcher remind us of our heart space
Through the illusions we face in the light of day
Love is the webbing that filters this place
With a loving heart fear will be swept away
