It is a fascinating branch of astrology that links the movements and positions of celestial bodies to the health and well-being of individuals. This practice is based on the belief that each zodiac sign is associated with specific body organs and emotions. Medical astrology suggests that the energies of the zodiac signs shift with the changing seasons, and understanding these energies can provide insight into potential health issues. By tapping into the unique energies of each zodiac sign, individuals can promote healing and overall well-being.

In terms of body organs, Aries is associated with the head, and Pisces is associated with the feet. During the spring season, Aries may

Recently, I had the pleasure of spending quality time with my niece Lauren and together we did a fun activity with my 4-year-old son Cuba, along with his cousins, 6-month-old Eva and 1.5-year-old Ethan, by doing some painting. We used washable paint with six colors, nothing too complicated, and allowed the children to explore their creativity. As a mom, it was an opportunity for me to have some adult time with my niece while also bonding with my son and sharing a creative experience with him. We all had a blast holding a paintbrush, mixing colors, and rinsing brushes in the water.

Painting birdhouses is a fun and engaging activity for all ages, even children as young as 1.5 years old. It provides a great opportunity for them to: explore colors and textures, stimulate their imagination, and develop their fine motor skills. But it's not just about the art - painting birdhouses can also have holistic health benefits for both children and adults.

1. What type of art do you create? Pressed flower art 

2. How long have you been doing art for? 1 year 

3. Who are your creative influences: I’m really inspired by Frida Kahlo, more so by her as a person than her art. She was vibrant, full of color, brave, outspoken and an all around bad ass. She always found a way to create, despite her pain. The same with Billie Holiday, Thomas "Blind Tom" Wiggins and other creators who found artistic freedom during the darkest times of oppression or mental illness. Overall, I’m inspired by anyone who has the guts to create and put it out in the world.
