The Art Of Belonging
Belonging begins with attraction. Color is the original language of belonging. From birth, nature draws us in through color by making our world feel beautiful.
"Living a beautiful life is our destiny." —Gretchen
The Science Of Becoming
Becoming is bound by a Golden Law. The proof is in the baby. We are our needs, and hardwired beneath that truth is not just an instinct to care, but a reflex impossible to ignore.
"What we care for, we become." —Gretchen
The Bearing Of Fruit
Bearing a fecund life is to create abundant life beyond our biology with ideas, and dreams that need language to explain and understand. The right words, like in a song, are the bridge to harmony.
"Different worlds are built by different words." —Gretchen
What I Know
I came to this work, not through therapy, or a doctorate, but through a bucket of paint. I didn't hear a calling, and I wasn't particularly gifted at art. Color became my vehicle for self-actualization not because I loved decorating, but because using paint colors to make myself feel at home changed how I felt about the world. I built a dream of beauty, belonging , then shared my knowing with others by helping them do the same. That's how I belonged, became, and beared a life of shared dreams.
