Kind Words, Feedback, Reviews and Testimonials from Participants and Patrons

I love the way the word kindness evokes multiple meanings to me as both ‘being considerate’ and ‘being of similar origin/species.’

I’m so very grateful for the kindness in my life… the sweet souls that reflect love and share your life force with me as we explore the mystery and wonder together… and the kindred spirits that have taken the time to connect with me from around the world through the magic of the internet… thank you!

Here are some of the kind words, good vibes, and pure sweetness that have been sent my way and warm my heart. I share for those getting to know me or considering joining me for online creative courses and also to remind myself when I need it!

“I’m stepping outside my box to try some different approaches to art and having good results. I’m sure my art and journals will be better having had this exposure and the freedom to play and let it happen.” ~ Diane

“I am trying to cut down on classes and groups I am following. Looking and feeling what I really like. Will always keep on following you because that feels good for me. I am looking forward to all new things that emerge.” ~ Carla

About Inspiration Card Decks:

“The Heart of Life card deck is absolutely gorgeous! I can’t wait to curl up and pore over every card later tonight, and take the time to drink in the imagery. I can already tell that this deck is going to resonate with me, and will be accompanying me on my daily journeys.” ~ Wendy

“Oh Julia, Your inspiration cards are beautiful. They are absolutely delightful and exude such tremendous love energy… I am so grateful to have ordered the set. Your work is amazing. As a certified angel card reader, they are tools of my trade and I was honored to provide a client reading using the gorgeous deck today. Thank you for birthing these beauties into the world. May you bless many hearts as you have mine.” ~ Janette

“I love these cards! I use them in reading for others and I use them for my daily pull. I travel a lot and these slip right into my purse. They’re also small enough that I can tuck the card for the day into my wallet. I highly recommend them!” ~ Michelle

About Art Prints & Products:

“My beloved Mum closed her precious blue eyes. I will take comfort from my favourite drink, sipped from your beautiful mug, just the right size to wrap my hands around, to caress and savour the warmth.

“WOW. This is one of those books you didn’t know you needed until you read it. It’s a 30-day enrichment book that guides you towards better days. I started reading it today. I’m using it as a 15 minute morning yoga and stretching routine along with affirmations and wow, it has already awaken my body and brain.” ~ Susan

“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” ~ Albert Schweitzer

I’m grateful to be able to fan the flames and feel the love as well! ♡

I want to make art, soul food, online gatherings, and creative exploration available to all who appreciate it and want to participate! So, I offer some online course retreats as “Pay What You Can” and some have various price points. I also provide the archived Thrive True e-zines as a free gift to anyone that wishes to receive it. It features many other artists, authors, healers, poets, energy workers, and sweet souls co-creating together to scatter well wishes like wildflower seeds.

If you are able and want to help keep the generosity flowing, in essence sponsoring those less financially fortunate (such as single moms, survivors of abuse, those working in less lucrative professions like teaching and social work, etc) by helping me be able to offer things this way thanks to those who choose to invest more… or if you’ve been blessed by something I offer and are looking for a way to give back, then you can send a little loving support through paypal at: www.paypal.me/thrivetrue. Every bit adds up! Thank YOU. ♡

You can sign-up for the Newsletter to receive the e-zines and many other gifts. I only send out emails occasionally because I realize how overloaded we can get. I appreciate the opportunity to connect in that way and value and respect your time and inbox. To keep in touch in a more casual and more frequent basis, I share many photos of paintings and inspiration on instagram.

I’ve also set up a page specifically for prints that support philanthropies. Profits from those particular prints go to charities (listed in details about each print). May we find joy and beauty in our lives that also have healthy Ripple Effects.

May you find something that brings a gentle smile to your heart and feeds your soul while visiting this site! Thank you for taking the time to spend a few moments of your life with me. I hope you have a *be*you*to*full* day!

Wild Wonderful Well Wishes,
Julia (a.k.a. Jules/Jewels)
