| Transformation to the 3rd Power |
My gratitude overflows for the transformation that has occurred in my life since receiving Clarissa, my pacemaker. Intriguingly, during the week after Clarissa entered my life, I intuitively made a centering mandala with three butterflies. Now three months out, after a previous long period of sluggishly dragging myself from day to day, I have renewed energy, greater physical flexibility, and enhanced mental alertness.
Why did this these symbols of transformation appear as i was integrating Clarissa into my life? They are not the endangered species of Monarchs I've been working for some time to protect. These butterflies emerged from inside me as a message from my psyche. I suspect the big one represents my health and well-being after Clarissa.

| Youthful Joy |
But what about the other two? I remember feeling young and joyful when I put in the small pink, magenta and turquoise one. The new life she represents has not yet been revealed but might relate to publishing my third book, REINVENT YOURSELF with Dreaming & Artful Play, in the Year of the Tiger, 2022.

| Memories of the Monkey Dance |
The brown, blue and white one reminds me of Indonesian batik cloth. Maybe it’s about pulling together spirit methods I have honed over many years into a Learning Lab in which participants create stories of personal change while going on a reinvention journey as they learn to guide dreamwork and artful play exercises.

May your Year of the Tiger be filled with strength, courage, and ingenuity. Perhaps the simple act of drawing a circle and spontaneously putting something within will open a window into where your life wants to go next.
