Susan
Ben introduced me to his cousin Susan, together we explored Aazhoodena. I wanted to know more about the area, the people, and their perspective.
She introduced me to so many beautiful souls and magical places inside Ipperwash, we all could feel Creator's presence. Together we shared, laughed, cried, and united our spirits to each other and this beautiful place.
I asked Susan if I could paint her portrait. Although she seemed shy, humbly she agreed. I asked her to bring her drum, her writings, her stories to share - I was trying to see her spirit. As I focused and started to work, I could see Susan's spirit, it was full of love and healing so guided by creator.
I saw my own spirit in hers, we were connected.
At the art exhibit, Susan was being asked by people "Is that you?" they said pointing to her portrait. She said she felt like a rock star, accepted, and seen by the world outside her community for the first time.
Susan and I realized something wonderful happen through art. We both thought maybe more...we can do something, throw a larger net to include others in this healing.
We asked Creator to give us direction.
In 2017, Susan and I started Me, You & Us Intuitive Energy Painting workshops. Together we brought together the community of Port Franks with the First Nations community of the area.
People from different cultures and backgrounds came together, sharing
laughter and tears
hopes and dreams
sorrows and joys
New friendships, new understandings were forged during those three days.
It was magical.
Susan gave me the most precious gift a woman can give: her trust.
Trust with her community. Trust with her friends. Trust with her family. Trust with her broken heart.
She is loving to All Nations, has so many blessings to share.
I believe Susan and I were brought together to build bridges across cultural divides.
She is in my heart forever.
