You've all heard that little jingle that originally came from MTV? "On the cover of the Rolling Stones" ? Well, I'm a professional artist as all of you may know and I'm often featured in Art Journaling magazine... well I made it!!! I'll be on the cover of the January 2026 Winter issue COVER! Woot woot, so I'm singing that little jingle a lot these days, cuz as an artist that's what this means. :)

I absolutely loved reading everyone’s reflections on Gem #1 — your insights, your light, your presence.It was beautiful to feel our community catching sparks together. I hope you enjoy them and something sparks you enough to share about it.

Hello everyone, Tomorrow, Dec. 6, at 10 am Pacific, I will be presenting a presentation on WHISPERS IN THE CODE: A Creative Encounter With AI at the annual OSCC Conference. The OpenSimulator Community Conference is an annual conference that focuses on the developer and user community creating the OpenSimulator software. Organized by AvaCon, the virtual conference features presentations, workshops, keynote sessions, and community social events and tours across diverse sectors of the OpenSimulator user base. This is a FREE 20 minute presentation that you can watch LIVE on youtube. On the channel you can also search my name "kisma" for a listing of past conference presentations, such as "Painting in the Meta," "Art is Art, but...," MSG Art, saya what?" I hope you come and support me, AND if you watch live, post one thing I said that really spoke to you AND if you do, you will receive a special Thank You gift from me! Bright Blessings, Kisma

As a certified Life Art Therapy Coach, my number 1 go to creative process is Smashbooking, which now has a place in our community. This is a FOR ALL MEMBERS activity, one that absolutely anyone can do. Already waiting for you in the CLASSROOM is a guidance on how to create your own smashbook. And coming over the next week is guidance on generating two traditional pages that ALL smashbooks usually contain: the grounding page and the resting page. Starting in January 2026 twice a month special videos will be shared guiding you through an intentional process, AND once a quarter we will have a LIVE smashbook workshop. In just two weeks I will be also sharing the LAST 2025 LIVE event for Winter Solstice, it is a two-day event and a celebration. This two-part event (see CLASSROOM FOR DETAILS) is perfect for your smashbook and is actually what I'll be doing my annual spread in. There's plenty of time to create your smashbook before then! Let's end the year creatively doing purposeful art that will support your current soulful self-identity. I've been performing this for 6 years now, and honestly, there would be a hole in my energy field if I didn't do it this year! Join me and let's celebrate each other at the closing of 2025!

Gems are shared to give new perceptions on soulful living and creativity. I hope something sparks something inside of you and invite you to share about it.
