Story
It all started with a healer in London, some six years ago. I was visiting my eighty-year-old friend, a close friend of my mother’s. Since my mother’s death, Jan has been as close to a mother as I would hope to have. She is a renowned water colourist who married an Englishman after the war and has lived in England and painted for more than fifty years. When Jan told me she had been to see a healer, I just had to go see for myself. It turns out the healer is a Cranial Sacral Osteopathist. Do we even have such a thing in this country?
When I went to see the healer, Ingrid, asked me, “Who are you, really?” I was stumped for a moment, and then I found myself replying, “ I want to have a center for women to address beauty on the physical, mental and spiritual level. She said, ”That’s it!” That was who I am, really, who I have always been and who I will be. One who is of service to my fellow sisters (is that an oxymoron?), who can address their beauty and open the door so they can address their own beauty on all levels. After the treatment, I left her office with a copy of The Artist’s Way tucked under my arm, a story about creativity, how to develop it and the nature of its source.
The reason I decided to start a business was because I saw the sign. Unless you see the sign, you will not know which way to go. Unless you read the road signs of life, you will not believe. I wanted to believe! The sign was on East Bay Shore Road as you wait at the stoplight on Pulgas Road in East Palo Alto. It was the Start Up sign... [click here to continue]
