Playful Orcas

My husband and I were driving around in the backroads on the lower mainland one day as we often did, looking for adventure and letting the Spirit lead us. We happened upon a community art market that was just about to close up for the day. I knew we had to stop. I looked at my husband and I told him, "I don't know why but something magical is about to happen!" He is such a supportive and amazing guy when it comes to my "Woo woo" stuff as he likes to call it, so of course, we pulled over. Playful Orcas As I walked into the market and everyone was packing up I was instinctively drawn to one tent. This woman was Wendy Waddell of Wise Woman Arts. She forever changed my heart and my art! Her smile lit up the entire market, she looked at me and said, "I dreamed of you last night, wondered when you would arrive!" I was completely taken aback I had never met her before but felt like I knew her all my life. There was a beautifully handcrafted rattle painted with these intricate dots on it. I desperately wanted it but only had a $50 bill in my purse and the price on it was $75. I did not want to insult this amazingly gifted woman by bartering. I felt God say to me to offer her my money and a copy of the book I had recently published. She smiled and said, "that is what I dreamed. That a darkhaired woman with green eyes will offer you $50 and a gift take it, she has much to offer" She told me I was the only dark-haired woman with green eyes at her table all day and that she was refusing to pack up until I arrived. We have a very special connection to this day. She is the one who inspires me to paint in this style with intricate patterns and bright colors! It is the most authentic way that I have found to express how I see energetic vibrations in the world!
