September 21, 2012 By 58 Comments

(My other site, davidhayward is developing nicely. Every day I'm adding new features. We have our own chat, and even held an energetic chat room last night. One suggestion that we're going to try to implement today is to make a mobile app for it. Listen: I've found the space I needed to provide people with resources to make spiritual transitions and to learn how to live spiritually independent lives with happiness. I'm personally inviting you to be a part of this project with me.) So... now for … [Read more...]

FREEBIE FRIDAY: prevailing print

August 10, 2012 By 98 Comments

I'm giving away a print of this original painting of mine, "Prevailing". Here's something I wrote with the painting: There are two ways to prevail. Like the tree, you can go with the adversity. Bend with it. Be flexible in the face of it. Surrender to it. Or, like the crow, you can lean into it. Streamline yourself against it. Endure it. Stand your ground in spite of it. Both are wise. Both prevail. Even against the most severe of prevailing winds. For your chance to win, all you have to … [Read more...]

Freebie Friday Sophia “balance”

January 13, 2012 By

Welcome to another Freebie Friday! Today I'm giving away a free fine art print of my latest Sophia drawing "Balance". I love this one because this captures how I'm feeling right now: things are rather dark and uncertain, but I'm being called to find my balance, to be wise, to be self-aware, but at the same time to not shelter myself from taking risks. Between you and I, I'm feeling very afraid, and every ounce of courage is being summoned so that I can complete this treacherous task well. (Ps: … [Read more...]

Freebie Friday: “Trapped” Sophia

September 30, 2011 By 44 Comments

Today I'm giving away a free print of Sophia "Trapped". The original sold last week. There are still prints available. I had a dream last night in which a friend was telling me how, in his experience, the bible had been consistently used as a weapon against him. The bible, for him, was totally negative. I empathized with him. We went on to talk about how prayer was often used in the same way. This is an image that has had a powerful impact on so many people, especially women. You'll be happy … [Read more...]
