The Thank You Video
There are no words for this.
But, being me, I’m going to try.
Dudes. This is my home. We did this together, you and I. You, with your gentle witnessing, your tips (big and small), the classes you bought from me, the art you bought from me…
We made this happen, and while this new beginning is cut through with sorrow because I didn’t want it initially, you’d have to bash me over the head and kill me dead to get me to leave this Eden now.
Seriously.
If my soul mate arrived in a puff of smoke and said “Come away with me!”, I’d laugh in his face and tell him we’re going to need to consider an alternative lifestyle – one in which I live here and he lives wherever he wants and he can come visit UNLESS he finds me a house with a walk out basement that backs onto a creek and features a frog pond.
What a shift.
Do me a favour? Take a second to send up a wee prayer/thought of gratitude to the powers that be for this?
Because, dudes! I am home.
More soon…

P.S. Radiant is starting on October 1st, and you are going to love it. Muse Merriment already started and it is divine. Book Of Days is still open for registration and we’re on hiatus next week, so this is the perfect time to catch up. Use coupon code iloveyou for a steep discount. If you want a sample, the lesson for Week Six was presented as a substitute for Wildly Inspired, which you can get over here.
My favorite post ever.
Love and prayers, Effy. You are truly an inspiration. I am so happy for you!
I love it!!! I love how you are sincere and real. You have and will always be my Glitter Sister! Prayers always for you my dear. I know that I have been way out in hiding for awhile. And though I would love to help contribute more to you my love, at least know that I am always around in spirit. Things have been rough for me, as you so well know how teens can get, and marriages have their ups and downs, I am still around, and I am REALLY trying to catch up, I am like so behind in my art, it is kind of pathetic, but I will get my mojo back soon. I have also missed a couple of your classes, and I normally do not miss the big ones. But I hope to be back soon. Love you, Miss you, God Bless.
What Grace! Effy, I couldn’t be happier that you have found home. In the eighteen months since I ‘found’ you, I have been in awe of the beauty of your art, I have been inspired by you daily; your classes and your words, and the biggest gift of all, through self enquiry and art practice, (a la BOD) I have claimed MY birthright as Artist. I follow many wonderful artists but none have touched me as deeply and as consistently as you have: Thank You doesn’t seem enough but, Thank You Effy. I wish you all Blessings & Abundance and can’t wait to see what creativity arises now you are settled. Exx
I am very happy for you, and so glad that here is where you landed. You know, you do crises pretty well! (From too much practice, eh?) Cat Charissage
You rock. I envy you… In a good way.
You’ve come a long way lady!! So glad things have fallen in place and it’s all good!! Thing do happen for a reason!! <3
So happy for you Effy! Gives us all hope in the most insecure of times, that a place to land will always be found if we have faith xxx
Squee!!!! This calls for a massive *KERMIT FLAIL*!
I’m very happy for you! Everyone deserves a place that feels like home. <3
You’ve found your HOME! Hooray. It was in the stars. Be happy there.
Wonderful!
Listening to you speak, you could feel the Peace/calm/love radiating. All our challenges make us who we are, and you represent the butterfly emerging from her chrysalis! I am so happy for you.
:D This brings tears of joy to my eyes. There was a little voice saying to me, “If she can just hold on through the waves of pain and sorrow, she will find her joy.” And you did. YAY!! Im so fucking happy for you, Effy!
Patio angel!! How inspiring.
Your new place looks awesome! I was wondering if you will be teaching Moonshine as a year-long course in 2015. I’ve enjoyed it so much this year. I hope you will be offering it again. Blessings! Wendy
