Hi, I’m Andrea

On this blog you’ll be learning with me how to use our voices, share our creative superpowers and live life in full color.

As an artist, photographer, life coach + mentor, I’m redefining what it means to be a SUPERHERO — ‘cause in my world, it’s got nothing to do with capes, spandex or sidekicks and everything to do with tenderness, intuition & baby steps of bravery.

    thank you for those lovely links. all of them are so good for the soul. i followed a link to the kids’ choir blog and watched a couple more of their performances. during a performance with them neil finn called it ‘the most hopeful sound on earth’. how beautiful.

    You have a special gift. You spread hope, joy, and love everywhere you go. Even when the words aren’t your own you have a special way of finding the very best that others have to offer, too, and bringing it all togther into one place so that inspiration and love can reach even further.

    Andrea, thank you for the wonderful gift idea. I think that the Trust cards will be perfect or my younger sister (who battles 2 types of cancer) and for my 80 year old mother who just needs a random treat in her day. As always, your blog inspires and enlightens. fondly, Patricia
