The Alchemist’s Journal

This is where creativity, spirituality, and transformation converge. The Alchemist’s Journal is a space for reflection, discovery, and the exploration of what it means to transmute life’s challenges into wisdom, beauty, and growth. Here, I share insights from my journey—through art, photography, meditation, and writing—alongside lessons from A Course in Miracles, Dr. Joe Dispenza’s work, and my experience navigating healing and self-advocacy.

Like an alchemist turning lead into gold, this journal is a place to witness the unfolding of presence, grace, and creative expression. Welcome to the journey.

Aging Flower Project - Amaryllis

I've been wanting years to create images of flowers past their prime and still find beauty. It's not easy. Nor is it popular.

Experimenting with Color and Texture

Once I brought the image into Lightroom for processing, it seemed a little too ordinary. So, off to the pixel playground I often go to explore colors and texture.

Beyond What These Eyes Can See

My eyes were closed when I first saw this vision. Something vast, seemingly unsurmountable, was blocking the light.

Escaping Hell

One morning in early January of 2020, I was fighting back the sadness and pain that grief can sometimes lay on you like a lead blanket.

Ascending

In the depths of fear and pain of the ego, we can choose God's love and peace instead. It says in the Course in Miracles…
