A Work In Progress

I am constantly learning and growing, striving to view all life experiences as gifts to deeper my understanding. I must say that my understanding is being put to the test right now in these uncertain days. I often wake-up thinking this was just a dream. My heart goes out to us all as we navigate through this time. We may be apart but together we stand, even stronger as we stay focused on the good!

Challenging times often brings reflection. I find myself being thoughtful of my blessings. The blessings in my family and friends are at the forefront always, cherishing the beautiful love that lives there. The little things like the funny, laugh out loud text messages from my brother and the sweet, just checking in messages from my daughters and friends. I give thanks for the sunshine, the singing birds and the blue skies. I give thanks for music, cruiser bicycles and the kindness strangers are showing one another. And, I am so incredibly thankful to all on the front lines working tirelessly to take care of us!

I am grateful for my cozy home studio…a peaceful, happy, joy-filled place to be still, create, and reflect. This online place to share my works is a gift. I have no idea how many people visit my site, read my blog or view my artwork and that is ok. If you have found your way here and have explored my website, I thank you! My hope is that on these pages, you will find things that you enjoy, take comfort in, resonate with, make you smile!

In this stillness I also must carry on ~ so I share with you a zoomed-in peek of a large canvas currently on the easel, a work in progress, just like me! Art, an expression of the soul …so deeply personal, so deeply healing….so deeply comforting.

May you find strength in the stillness of this time and remind yourself of the things that move your soul! Please take care and be well!

Much love,
Jana
