This is a sister blog to “be whole now,” also created by inspirational author and speaker Rachel Snyder. Here we will create a community of women and men who are no longer waiting to create lives that nourish the soul, nurture the spirit, and express the brilliant truth that lives inside each of us. Here, you may declare your dreams to a growing circle of support, encouragement, and intelligent inspiration. Here, you may acknowledge your vulnerabilities and your fears — and feel the new energies that will enliven and inspire you when you JUST SAY YES NOW!

I am grateful to artist Cathy May Woo of Seattle, Washington, USA, for the image that graces the top of this blog. I love Cathy’s work for its intention, color, vibrancy, and energy.

The header image is but a small slice from this complete painting, which was created on a piece of translucent rice paper and then collaged onto Plexiglas.  Says Cathy, “When I photograph those pieces I make sure there is a light source bouncing through the Plexi and lighting up the colors.  It’s thrilling for me as an artist to work that way.”

Click anywhere on the picture to see more of Cathy’s work.

    Hi Rachel,

    I just discovered you. And love your work.

    I am collaborating with Bryant Park, NYC for their next year’s summer programs. They have wonderful offerings of poetry,music, film etc in this little pocket park in the middle of NYC. I would love to talk with you about the possibility of your reading your poetry next year. Could you email or call me? I cannot find any place here to send you a direct email! I couldn’t find you on Facebook or Linked In.

    Help!

      Hi Jane,

      I’d love to talk with you! If you haven’t already discovered it, my primary blog is http://rachelsnyder.wordpress.com. In the right-hand sidebar, quite a ways down, is a link called “Contact Me Now.” Otherwise, I’ll call or email you in the next day or two’ just got in from out of town. Will enjoy hearing how you stumbled upon this site, since it’s been mothballed for quite some time…
