Autumn Blooms After a Long Quiet

Hello dear ones:
This image really resonates with me.
I pretty much have it on all of my social media headers right now because for a while there, I felt at a loss.  
An explosive, mind busting loss that encompasses both grief and joy.
It has been a full summer.
It is quite the amazing fall.
My short synopsis is to bring you to speed and welcome you to the most current unfoldings of my life + work:

Top Left:
I AM A CERTIFIED HAND ANALYST!
I completed my Year Long Certification Training with the
 International Institute of Hand Analysis.
I am double-legit-for-real now.
After more than 200 hands read + much learning I offer my deepest gratitude, celebration + joy to you courageous wonders who shared your hands with me, my incredible fellow students and my magnificent IIHA faculty.

Bottom Left:
Another landmark move.  This time to my very own space which I lovingly call The Gladstone.  It is equal parts tea salon, boudoir, quiet cave of discerning + mega dynamic art studio.  Also: crucible, comfort + home. 

Top Right:
Summer road trips for the soul.

Bottom Right:
A conscious endeavour to begin a third year of study, deepening my hand analysis skills with the Advanced Hand Analyst Certification.
Simultaneous pursuits that I am focussing my attention on:  pushing my creative edge as an artist, cultivating my growth as a social entrepreneur and onward in creative service to make people's eyes sparkle in the most fun, magical way possible.
Mediums of choice = hand reading, conversation + doodles

I tore down the previous incarnations of my Joan Trinh Pham and The Renegade Courtesan (hand analysis) websites seeking simplification + integration.

This is the beginnings of me crafting my next skin. 
It is a work in process. 
( process > progress )
There is so much joy, magic + power in creation after a heady hibernation to dream + discern.
Now I am straight up applying the real life formula for magic:
Desire + Action = Power
My words of the year:
Velocity
Deepening
Fire
