A message from Natalie:
In 2004 (most of my life really!), I found myself struggling with anxiety. At that time I was driving myself more crazy than usual with stress and I was feeling like I wasn't meeting my own expectations at all. I created this painting to help me express my frustration. It is not the prettiest thing I've ever seen but it was absolutely painted from the heart! And it made me feel more calm, and still does. I just look at it and put myself mentally in the peaceful place that I see in the center of the painting.

Now, I am participating in the Ekhart Tolle and Oprah Winfrey Webcast and I've been awakened to exactly why I was struggling and where this painting came from inside of me - from my struggle with my Ego! Thank you to Oprah and Mr. Tolle for helping us all learn from Mr. Tolle's spiritual teachings!
