Artwork appears in many forms from paintings to podcasts, architecture to gardening, poetry, film, and many other mediums. Even standing out in nature, we can see the artwork of the Divine reflecting back at us. There is inspiration all around if we allow ourselves to see it. How many times has a piece of music moved you to tears, to dance around...
I know this may be a taboo topic, but enough is enough. I believe we should be sexually aware. This may feel like a too sacred or even offensive subject manner for a local community newspaper. I feel it is imperative that it is brought up. All humans have reproductive abilities and drives that we are not always educated on. I feel that sexuality...
By Hollie Warnick I have a child who will often look in the mirror at them self to see how they express their emotions. In a fit of tears, anger or exultant dancing, they run to the mirror to see what they look like.

This is a period of time where the ground is shifting under our feet, either literally or figuratively. Life may be unpredictable or volatile. Circumstances can be uncertain or erratic.
