Life Is Art
Focus on the Silver Lining
Welcome to my website! Hi, I'm Vicki Tamara McClifty, mother, wife, artist, designer, seamstress, spiritualist, life coach, kinesiologist, writer and novice organic gardener, just to name a few credentials, and the list is always growing. I totally believe that no matter what age you are, and whatever you have experienced up to this moment in time, it's never too late to learn something new!
After the loss of my son in 2012 I thought at the time it was the end for me, that I too had died. My heart was torn open with grief, but that "death" was simply the end of my false beliefs of who I thought I was expected to be in the eyes of society in general. That "death" was my wake-up call to go inwards and discover who I am and find my true purpose in life.I realised there was a silver lining to the grief I had experienced. I soon discovered I could fashion my life through art play, through relaxation and creativity! By going "deep" into who I am, I found soul connection and began to understand my purpose in life. Nowadays, sewing, art and designing have become my chosen spiritual practices. Most days I quietly ponder upon my next project within the peaceful solitude of my Warrahwood Studio in Brisbane, Australia, with my dear French Bulldog Gretel, by my side. I experience each day a little differently when I choose to tune out of the crazy outside world and go inwards to connect with my love for everything natural. We humans are a part of nature so when I explore nature's abundant gifts that come in the form of natural fibres, textures and vibrant colours, I feel so very blessed to be here. I love to be able to share my creations with likeminded souls who appreciate handmade beautiful and natural pieces of fashion and artwork.
As I look back at my choice to take this wholesome and positive approach to living, it realise how much it gave me a different perspective on everything. I now think of my life as a piece of art and as such, can create and experience a different reality.
So no matter what events have taken place, you will return to natural alignment through honouring your heart-space and having a little fun at the same time!
For those of you who may have suffered grief, you can reactivate your life after loss by signing up for my integrated 6 weeks program which is available now. "My Favourite Things" is purely a few simple, informal processes which helped me travel at my own pace throughout my grief journey. These processes helped me survive the erratic emotional rollercoaster of grief and finally got me to where I am today.
When I lost my son in 2012, I felt very alone with my grief and as such developed a web series in 2017: AM Healing My Soul TV. This is also available for you on YouTube and for anyone you know who may need support. My intention for this program is to nurture, guide, motivate and inspire recovery from various types of grief. For me, it was the loss of my son. For you, it could be loss of a parent, relationship, spouse, baby, miscarriage, job, chronic illness, a way of life or for many other reasons. My show discusses the meaning of grief and what to expect with grief. I share insights with my interviewees to help you and many others overcome adversity, to bring hope and inspiration. AM Healing My Soul TV also showcases various modalities which can help with grief recovery.
For your information, I had published articles with the international women's magazine: Sibella Publications: Luminous Wisdom Sophia during 2017/2018. I also collaborated as a co-author for The Book of Inspiration for Women by Women published 2017.
