Covid helped me grow
My family has been crafting for many generations. Growing up in a religious household I was taught how to sew at a young age, and if I was bored, I would help my mother with her projects. Not all projects turn out good, but you won’t know until you try right?

Crafty Little Pinking Sheers
Feeling locked in the basement, depressed like never before. The social network became my advisor, my ambition and the best coping tool that ever existed. Lockdown may be going to happen, yet I was on a mission to find myself. My purpose, my passion and maybe something I could share with others.

Artistic Superhero
My name is Orianna, but people call me Orie. I’m the oldest of three girls. My mother was raised in foster care. We grew up rough and it wasn't the easiest. My mom wasn't able to fulfill her dreams as the hairstylist she knew she was gifted to be. She would take her clients at home so I was always surrounded by new hair products and techniques. This peaked my interest as a child. My mom showed me how to survive the same way I am trying to now. Growing up, I was able to follow her footsteps and help her assist some of her clients as her mini personal assistant. My mom taught me how to conquer my fears by doing hair and that built my confidence. Hair has been a way my mother was able to take care of herself and her children as she aged out of foster care. She was able to make a living, raising her family. My mother has been my role model because even when she was down, I could never tell. My mom would always put on a show with her hair and makeup. I don’t know what my mom saw in the mirror that made her so persistent with every look, but in that mirror I saw a Queen of Queens. It was as if she kept her superhero outfit in her makeup bag. Her hair was supernatural. Her makeup was done to perfection and she tuned out the world once that tool was in her hand.

You Can Do Anything
What did I learn from my Mother: 1. My Mother Elaine taught me that not even the sky is the limit! She would lovingly smile, look deep into my eyes, and say, “You can do anything!” Those were her favorite words to encourage me, and that idea kept me going, growing, learning, and striving through all the years of my life. Her words and my effort helped me to move from being a waitress to a copywriter for an ad agency to vice president of high tech companies in Silicon Valley. I then created my own marketing consulting firm, became an author, an international speaker, and started a publishing company. My Dear Mother expressed her joy at my success continuously.

It is ALWAYS a Gemini’s Time: Here’s How to Activate that Shit!
The day is near and clear, and though it seems far away, it is time to wake up. This is the time to see your twins as strength not weakness. Hidden beneath the previously good/evil portrayal of the twins is the honoring of the light AND the dark. You encompass all, you embody the power of balance and expression of you.

The Three Keys to Being a Successful Person
I once knew a guy who worked at a factory who always wanted to be a writer. On his days off he would bang away at his typewriter in the hope of fulfilling his dream. There was one big problem, his partner did not approve. Time and again she told him he was wasting his time. Eventually she took to hiding his typewriter in an attempt to stop him doing what he loved to do.

Child imagination play brought back to life
At 40 years old, with an (almost) 10-year-old son I had found myself without purpose, without joy and without a creative outlet. I had tried countless activities, crafts and soul searching but they all left me feeling defeated. To simply summarize my efforts, they all just were not the right fit. It was discouraging, as I had always seen my siblings (all three of them) with talents and hobbies, my mother with a passion and gift for drawing and painting, and my father who is the handiest man I know, tinkering, fixing, and always thinking outside the box.
