A couple of weeks ago, if you could sift through all the other craziness, there was a Global Climate Action Summit held in San Francisco. This by all reports was a serious, inclusive, transformative, creative event. It was a powerful reminder that we can act even if our government isn\u2019t. California Gov. Jerry Brown stood out as a leader in this realm as our federal government chooses to put its head in the sand. The summit was held despite our current governing body. The Summits success as a creative energizing force was an inspirational that when things aren\u2019t going our way it\u2019s not time to give up it\u2019s time to get creative.<\/p>\n<p>Lately I\u2019ve been creating Guardian Angels and Spirit Guide \u201cicons\u201d. Some are serious others silly, some meditative others magical and some a mix of all. Yesterday I completed my <strong><em>Guardian of the Earth \u2013 Gaia<\/em><\/strong>. I was inspired by the Global Climate Action Summit to get in my studio and create this icon. A protective mother at once soft and strong. She holds the earth like a precious child, a fragile, delicate being. A reminder that we should all treat this planet, our island home, like a grandmother treats a crying baby.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3141\" src=\"https:\/\/lisathorpeartist.files.wordpress.com\/2018\/09\/floppsie-smallfile.jpg?resize=1100%2C1400\" alt=\"Floppsie-smallfile\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Some of my \u201cicons\u201d are more playful like my<strong><em> Floppsie Patron Saint to Productivity and Multitasking<\/em><\/strong>. As the oldest child of four (Floppsie, Moppsie, Cottontail and of course Peter) she has always had to take on responsibility in the family. She knows how to get things done and never procrastinates!<\/p>\n<p>This next \u201cicon\u201d was once again inspired by current events. I created <strong><em>Whiskers Guardian Angel to migrants, refugees and all without claws<\/em><\/strong> this summer. She is a cheeky reminder that everyone deserves protecting most importantly the weak and the weary.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3143\" src=\"https:\/\/lisathorpeartist.files.wordpress.com\/2018\/09\/whiskers-gaurdian-angel-small-file-protector-of-migrants-refugees-and-those-without-claws.jpg?resize=1100%2C1400\" alt=\"Whiskers Gaurdian Angel,-small file- Protector of migrants, refugees and those without claws\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This week\u2019s events are still sifting down &#8211; the repercussions still settling in. I\u2019m not sure what kind of guardian angel can speak to what\u2019s happening right now but I\u2019m pretty sure she\u2019ll be strong and brave, she might have some fangs and claws at the ready and I\u2019m pretty sure she\u2019ll be wearing her pink pussy hat!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m teaching a two-day workshop on creating your own \u201cGaurdian Angels, Goddessess and Spirit Guides\u201d at The Bishop\u2019s Ranch in Healdsburg CA.
