Spotlight: Kaho Koinuma
One day I found a rose quartz merkabah.
Not many people would know what this is, it's a special little trinket. My metaphysical but thieving hippie self wanted to keep it but I was sure that if I had personally lost it I would be super bummed so I decided to make a sign.

I was sure no one random would try to claim the treasure. Turns out it belonged to my neighbor, Kaho Koinuma, who I had never met. I could immediately tell she was magical. She thanked me and we went our separate ways but I knew there was something brewing in the universe.
Flash forward several months later, the same day I ran into Dan Bienenfeld (weird!), and I see Kaho. She was packing a whole bunch of stuff into her car for a road trip. I didn't know much about her at the time except that she is clearly my people. We got into this whole conversation and it comes up that she's an artist. She just happened to have some art in the car and I was lucky enough to get to see some.
She makes the most magnificent mandalas. As she's telling me about this particular series and why she was working on it I could feel the love pouring out of her and I suddenly started to feel like we were in some cosmic bubble. Synchronicity was afoot.
She felt called to give me a little gift. It was a postcard of Montserrat. I had never seen Montserrat or know anything about it. She told me how where Montserrat is in Spain, is one of the three places in the world where the heart chakra energy is focused.
I could feel it in the postcard.It's interesting because even though I had never been there I have always been fascinated by Spain. As a little girl I used to have a pair of castanets that I would play all the time and wore these tango style dresses. It wasn't until later in life that I even learned that my paternal grandmother was actually from Spain. It felt like this gift was connecting me to my ancestors.
I remembered a piece of green aventurine had fallen out of my pocket earlier that day that I hadn't known was there. I knew in that moment I was meant to give it to Kaho.It all felt like a Celestine Prophecy moment.
I wanted to share her art with you because I believe it is channeled from some higher plane. Having a piece of her work with you will elevate your frequency. Recently she started drawing Mother Mary, which I am completely obsessed with:

This is one of a series that will be at a one day exhibit in Culver City on May 13, 2017 - the day before Mother's Day. If you can't make the show check out her website, she is always creating new work.
Thank you, Kaho!
