Key West

Me in Key West joined by belly dancers "Hanan" Tiffany Madera and "Ambar Ma" Veronica Gomez they are wearing my sterling silver Mariposa Pendant inspired by women like them; they are multi faceted, talented and inspiring. And have transformed me in one way or the other as the pendant  represents emerging from the cocoon & spreading your wings. In the center is a joyful dancing female figure with multiple arms for the multi-tasking of women and the warrior goddesses of the east.  Mariposa is the spanish word for butterfly.  They are Mariposa Maidens: Butterfly Girls.

Kali Ma in the Florida Forest

So I got dressed up in my version of an empowered goddess, this is one of the shots taken in Oleta Park in Florida. The place was swarming with biting blood sucking mosquitos. Afterwards when I was changed back into T-shirt and jeans I did my errands. However there was something different about me. I went to Jerry's Artorama to get the art easel listed at $200 plus for the incredible sale price of $39 knowing the sale ended yesterday. I asked the store manager to work his magic and he did! saying he could not tell me no. Then I went to get a slice of pizza at Papa Tave, when I took out my card to pay the guy behind the counter said the slice was on him as their machine was not up and running yet. Well I wasn't going to let him do that I went and got cash. But I do wonder if adopting that goddess, empowering female into ones psyche had anything to do with all that occured that day.
