I hope you’re doing well!
I’ve loved hearing from you about the invitation extended last week to do something you’ve never done before, right where you are in Covid-Land.
Right after sending you the invitation, I called to check on my mom. To my surprise, my 89-year young mom and my sister were smack-dab in the middle of doing something my mom has wanted to do for a long time, but never had. I loved the cosmic coincidence. She was moving from her inspiration and I was too.
Her long-time desire was to send a letter to Jenna Bush Hager. I had no I idea this was a long-standing desire of hers. She wanted to share with Jenna a remembrance of her grandmother, Barbara Bush.
Now you’re probably wondering what’s the deal with Barbara Bush? Well, Barbara Bush has a recipe for chocolate chip cookies. My mother had a famous chocolate chip recipe that was immensely popular until Barbara’s recipe came on the scene. When she shared Barbara’s recipe, her 60-year-old recipe got dethroned!
As a family, we’ve shared countless hours baking cookies together. It’s a place where we get together and share precious time. Everyone has their role in the process. Too funny!
I encourage you to take a break from Covid-land and do something you’ve never done before. You will find the action of engaging very invigorating. Let trying something new be a game. You truly have nothing to lose!
Sending smiles,
Cherie

One Day Intuitive Painting Retreat:
Intuition & Finding Your Wisdom Within
Saturday, January 18th, 10am-5pm central standard time
In life we look for answers. We look for answers to all our questions and solutions to support us in feeling FREE in our lives. How many places have you looked?
The answer lies within you. I know you’ve heard that so many times before; said in many different ways, but nobody tells you how to realize it in yourself and live from it in your life.
In this coaching and Intuitive Painting workshop you will experience what separates you from hearing your inner wisdom/ intuition and what stops you from acting from it. Intuition is a natural part of being human. It is another intelligence that is available to you just as your intellect is. Why not use both!
The studio is free of critiques and comments. A studio free of comments supports full creative expression. This process is about creative expression with no demand to make art. No experience is necessary.
Intuitive Painting is available virtually! It’s not a problem if you don’t live near the studio. We come to you via Zoom. You will be painting alongside the painters in the studio.
Where: Location: the Houston Heights (77008)
Address and directions to the Studio will be emailed to you following your registration.
Can’t be in Houston? Participate virtually. It’s so easy! Ask for details. Email Cherie@CherieRay.com
Materials for attending the workshop online are easily available from Amazon. A supply list will be sent to you upon registration.
When: Saturday, January 18, 2025
Time: 10am-5pm central standard time
Cost: Tuition: $178
Registration deadline:
Virtual attendance, Friday, January 17th
In-studio attendance, Thursday, January 16th

Does your mind subtlety suggest to you that you have limits to your capacity, your resilience, your potential? I find it fascinating that our minds are so convincing about what’s available to us in our lives. What’s equally fascinating is the reality that our bodies get flooded with emotion matched with what looks real in our minds. A feeling of stuckness, defeat, disappointment, why bother? It runs the gambit. Where our minds go, our emotions follow. I also chuckle that there is this part of me, my thinking mind, which dwells in the past or the future, rarely present in the moment, offers me convincing input on how life works in real time.
This comes to mind because I saw Willie Nelson and his sister, Bobbie, perform at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo this week. My mind subtlety projected into the future and filled me in on how the concert would be. Well once again my mind was wrong, way wrong.
As I watched Willie play tunes, he’s played a zillion times before with passion, presence, and energy, I was struck by what I was seeing. Here’s a person 87 years of age, performing in front of 70,000 people and having a blast. On one song his sister Bobbie was featured. She was banging those piano keys at the speed of Chuck Berry or Jerry Lee Lewis. I was so taken by her performance that I looked her up and saw that she’s 89 years of age!
I wanted to share this story because I found so much inspiration around what’s TRUE and what we perceived to be true around our capacity, our resilience, and our potential. Too often we believe what we think without question. It’s helpful to see we have the option to align with our perceptions or we can align with what’s TRUE about life. Anything is possible for us. If we have a heartbeat, it’s a sure sign that pure potential is present.
Sending smiles,
Cherie
