I send messages to myself subconsciously. Feeling strongly enough about this mantra...I had it tattooed on my forearms this past year to remind myself of what I aim to do and homage to all the people I admire who rise above challenges and then SHinE as a result or in spite of challenges. My challenge has been how to sort and channel my creative energy into something that makes sense and something that can be long standing through this second part of my life. I have often been frustrated in making it all fit..all the things I love into one entity that I can keep or alter to fit the ever changing life I lead. It was always a business. I love putting businesses together..with the clever names and mission statements. What I finally had the epiphany about was that I am the entity. I don't need to attach myself to a business..I am The Business. What I have to offer the world is enough. The biggest things I believe in is being a light...a blessing more than a burden, a safe place to fall, a calm in the storm..even when I am the storm.

So..here I am..STAge NaMe: Tori Sunshine. I know..sounds like a stripper. Well, damnit..I embrace my inner stripper. Who needs the trappings of  what expectations I put on myself (I almost blamed society just now)? Inside this entity..ME...is art to make and sell, classes to prepare and teach, books to write and people to inspire and be inspired by. Let the magic begin!!!
