Birthday TGIF

Rallying for Joy (even when it's hard)

When I invited you to this list, several of you had the openness to share that you were going through some kind of struggle right now. That so many of you shared this just highlights the fact that we are never alone in our difficulties.

Whatever you are up to, or possibly up against, I want to give you encouragement. To let you know that I am rooting for you! And remind you that things change, grow and evolve. We really are all in this together, even when it doesn't feel like it.   

One of my favorite joy practices is TGIF, a weekly reflection from author, Brené Brown. It always brings me peace and puts me in touch with all that is good in my world:

T - What am I trusting?
G - What am I grateful for?
I - What inspires me?
F - How am I practicing my faith? (Whatever that means to you.)

I'll share mine. Please feel free to reply with yours, as well. I'd love to read them!

Today I am trusting that I am where I am supposed to be, even when it doesn't always make sense. I am grateful that I've taken a leap! And for my wonderful mom. I am inspired by blank canvases and the stirrings of my own heart. I am practicing my faith with prayer, moments of quiet, truthfulness.

The first week of my adventure has had more than it's expected share of struggle. Touchdown was exhilarating, the landscape is beautiful, the creativity has flowed, but I admit, so have a few tear drops. When I first announced plans for this excursion several of you said I was brave. Now I am understanding why. Diving in to anything with a whole, open heart is um, terrifying. But I wouldn't have it any other way. More on this next time!

Thanks again for being along for the ride. It means so much to me.
❤️
Jackie

Oh yeah... it's my birthday! I've graduated to a new decade 😜

A woman literally told me today she was replacing a GEORGIA O'KEEFE image in her home with one of mine. #lovelanguage Cool shot by a kind stranger signing some artwork. .

It's been observed that the majority of my moons are on the right side. Two new works in progress (chalk and acrylic on mixed media canvas surfaces) case in point. Interpret and analyze away! (Please tell me what this means? :)

This little lady got a drawing of herself! .
Commissioned illustrations are so fun. It's special to capture the essence of a person and create a little (JOYful) character inspired by them. Something to always remember and hold on to (I hope) ❤

Joy gives us wings! In times of joy our strength is more vital, our intellect keener, and our understanding less clouded. We seem better able to cope with the world and to find our sphere of usefulness. - Abdu'l-Bahá
