Just for fun.

This one was an effort I made to be looser and stop trying to be perfect.

It became a reminder to step away because starting it the other day, then coming back today made me see it very differently and I like how I evolved.

A few more things to tweak or details to add, but once it's done.

12"x12" acrylic on canvas. Brush & pallet knife.

$100. (SOLD)

Even though this one is spoken for, my commissions are open if you'd like your own version of a landscape in this style :)

Summer Solstice Card Pull✨🌿☀️

32 | Luminous Warrior | From Mystical Shaman Oracle deck

The Luminous Warrior is a reminder - a reminder that nestled with you already is so much power, beauty, and deep, deep wisdom. This card comes to invite you to reconnect and bring your awareness back to these things. We spend so much time fixating on comparison in this world - don't let yourself spiral down that trap. There is nothing wrong with you.

Your intention follows attention, which is why the Luminous Warrior presents to say hey, let's see the light. Today we have the most daylight of the year, so it feels fitting to be reminded to let yourself focus on your own light too. Feed that light and notice what it feels like to embrace it, care for it, empower it.

You'll start to see how shifting that focus can really start to impact many different situations in life and how you respond to them.

This is your time to see yourself truly. To be intentional in your awareness. To align with the earth and honor your light, friend.

If you would like your own individualized card pull today from this lovely deck, I shall be honored to share that with you. The only exchange I ask for is that you share with me upon requesting a reading how you are going to honor your own light today - what are you doing to feed your soul amidst the chaos of life on this wonderful summer Solstice?🌿💚

All my everything,
Bee

Site update, friends!

I have gone back and forth on Fernlight's branding for nearly two years now. Colors, fonts, logos, layouts... all of it. It's been quite the journey, let me tell ya.

Part of the challenge is that Fernlight isn't just a business to me. It's a representation who I am creatively and spiritually, and I've been trying to find a combination of colors and visuals that actually feels like what's inside my head and heart. Which turns out is harder than it sounds. (Listen, not all artists are super visually creative.)

It also turns out that website design is an area I basically started below beginner level in. Like, underneath beginner level. Buried somewhere in the dirt.
Colors that look gorgeous together as little swatches on a page can look completely different once they're actually living together on a website. And every time I thought I had it figured out, I'd change my mind later.

Add in the overwhelming pressure of "getting it right," following all the design rules, building a brand correctly, and my AuDHD brain has basically blue-screened every time I've tried to tackle this project. That's why I had settled with how things were before, because I genuinely couldn't dedicate anymore mental space to that side of Fernlight.

But lately I've landed on a realization:
I don't actually care if Fernlight follows every design rule.

I want to look at my own website and feel something.

I want it to feel like a deep breath that you take when you take a step barefoot outside in the grass.

I want it to feel grounded. Like I can breathe all the way into my heels and let down some of the guards I carry around my creativity.

And when I think about that feeling, I keep coming back to trees.

Lately I've been finding so much joy in looking up into the leaves and noticing all the different shades of green. Bright greens. Deep greens. Shadow greens. The almost-black greens hiding underneath everything else. And then the browns of the trunks and branches woven through it all.

Green and brown just do a beautiful dance together.

So Fernlight got greener, heh. I had a brown element before, but I've honed it a bit more.

And honestly, a lot more like the forests that make me feel.

You might also notice I've started writing Fernlight instead of FernLight.

For a long time, I felt like I needed to emphasize the "Light" part of the name. Maybe explain it. Maybe make sure people noticed it.

But that piece has evolved for me too.

I think when I first chose the name, I thought of light as something bright. Something you find after growing towards it.

Now it feels more like something that's already there. In the roots and the leaves. In the messy parts. In the growing parts. In the shadow as much as the sunshine.

So Fernlight feels right. It feels integrated, if that makes any sense to anyone other than me.

The website will keep changing because apparently that's just who I am as a person. But for now, the homepage finally feels like somewhere I'd want to sit for a while.

Thanks for being on this ride with me.
All my everything,
Bee

Doing something that feels scary to me - Yoga Anatomy Teacher Training.

I'll be honest, I took my first 200YTT (Hatha) back in 2020. I took a second 200YTT (Kundalini) in 2024. I have taken yoga for all courses, self-studied some bits and pieces further of yoga philosophy, and continued when able - taking yoga classes from folks I consider mentors to me. But - I still have rarely taught yoga myself.

Why might you ask? I feel incredibly underprepared / underinformed about the anatomy and physiology of yoga. None of my trainings did well at diving into this (many 200hr's don't, to be fair). For me, this is just an area that I feel is incredibly important for a yoga teacher to feel competent in and for me - I have never felt such.

But my oh my, I do have so many ideas (all the time) for classes I would love to teach some day. So, perhaps on a bit of an impulse or a nudge from the universe - I registered for a yoga anatomy course through yogarenew. 50 hours strictly focused on Yoga Anatomy - I am excited, but also terrified. This is content that I struggled with way back in school, so I'm looking forward to meeting it now as this version of me - but that still comes with slight terror. LOL.

Regardless, I am going to take this course. I should be done by August. At that point, I will re-assess how I feel about teaching yoga again. If I am not feeling ready to teach still, I will simply have more insight and knowledge for my own practice - no loss either way.

Though, I do hope this course in combination of additional intentional self-study, fills the gaps I have felt.

I'm getting out of my own way.

Why am I posting this to my Fernlight pages? Because Fernlight is more than a physical place - it's quite literally who I am, and I want to continue to build offerings and make art and do all the things to invite folks to explore with me where creativity and soul work meet. It's all part of my soul's mission, I know it.

Thanks for being along for the ride.
All my everything,
