I have always been dazzled by transformation. Whether it was rearranging the living room furniture as a kid (which my mother, for some reason, never minded), painting a wall, cutting off (or growing out) my hair, even simply pulling weeds to make a patch of the garden look better - something about transformation makes my eyes light up. I understand Marie Kondo's desire to tidy. Except I see it as magic. Perhaps it is the hope that accompanies visible change. If I can change this small thing, maybe I can also influence that big thing to be different. And by different, I mean better. Safer. Happier. Rut-less. And, well, if you want to go all out, you can always change your name. :)
It's time for the May Reader Giveaway! Leave a comment below describing a moment of transformation (or the hope of one to come) in your life. One (or more) lucky reader (s) will be drawn at random by the giveaway team of Wonder Mike and Lilly to receive a small piece of original art. Hooray! Coming soon!

She's flying above it all! I am also flying.... to trick the computer.

Dotty! Holy 11-year-old rebellion! That's fantastic! To have the chutzpa to stand your ground for what you want (or don't want) is absolutely transformative.

I feel like I’ve lived several different lives while up here in Portland. I feel like I’ve constantly been moving, shifting and awakening. I consider myself on a constant path of transformation. I think that my biggest one to date, was when I came up to Oregon not knowing anyone or having even stepped foot in this state before. It was a giant leap of faith for me and has transformed my life in ways I couldn’t even imagine.

Robyn!!! oh oh and OH! I love your story of constant moving, shifting and awakening. The path IS constant, isn't it? And there is something magical about starting over in a new land... xo

I just told a client today how I love my job! I get to see a transformation with every project! From a white stucco wall turned pool mural, or a simple white door painted to look like wood. It's all so fascinating and I am blessed. Spontaneous creativity has transformed me to my core!
