Cultivating Harmony is my life’s thesis. Memoiring has lead me from despair rooted in childhood trauma, to feeling blessed. Or as my dear husband Gunter puts it, realizing things happened for me, not to me. Perhaps the ultimate leap of faith, and my arts attest to the bliss such leaps might seed.
As a little girl I felt which colors wanted to play with each other. I loved to follow along and learned to trust the colour I instinctively reached for. Occasionally, I would second guess it and would feel sad, like I had betrayed us. As I write this I realize this was me aligning with the Tao.
Living in a culture co-opted by busy can make it hard to dive into one’s consciousness. I hope my stories help you to know yourself better, for I believe this is where liberation lies. So many memoirists fed my soul when its embers had almost died out. I humbly offer up my arts for the benefit or all sentient beings, mountains, seas & streams
In Love,
Moneca (aka LuLu)

Sharing one’s soul is literally priceless and, like love and friendship, exists beyond commerce and can only be rewarded in kind. You will never find advertising here and I have no intention to give advice or suggest I have answers. No interest in doing endorsements or coaching anyone or teaching a course on personal growth. Sharing my soul is my life’s work and I trust that it will provide my livelihood. Patronage is the epitome of symbiosis and I welcome any gifts you feel inspired to share with me, one sage to another.
“It’s not possible to save the world by trying to save it. You need to find what is genuinely yours to offer the world before you can make it a better place. Discovering your unique gift to bring to your community is your greatest opportunity and challenge. The offering of that gift – your true self – is the most you can do to love and serve the world. And it is all the world needs.”
~Thomas Berry, Soulcraft: Crossing into the Mysteries of Nature & Psyche
