I Believe In Me

The inspiration for this book came about after seeing a few very talented friends experience self doubt.

Emergence

This is an altered book form which is based on a series of dreams I had with a universal theme of my emerging animus, the masculine side of myself to precipitate change.

Paralysis

This altered book is an expression of the "awakened sleep paralysis" that I experienced for over 20 years. Upon going to sleep I would get caught in this space that would draw me forcefully away from the body, yet I was awake and my physical body was "switched off" unable to move....paralized! It is a common occurrence with many people, happening a few times in their life, however, I would experience this regularly. Its a frightening experience, since I did not understand what was happening. Buried inside the pages of this altered book is a large and very strong magnet.

Bug Armor

This altered book is a culmination of many dreams I had of the bug. One bug, two bugs, three bugs, four..... as the poem goes. This bug dream varied for many years but still came as a frightening symbol. Now after all these years, I have made peace with this symbol in my dreams and realize the bug is one of my totem animals and is there for me as a reminder to protect myself in vulnerable situations! I wear a scarab bracelet on my wrist to honor the bug totem. Once I got past my feelings of creepiness about this symbol, I made extensive personal progress!
