I've always been a free and creative spirit. As a child and young adult, I didn't know how to channel that energy into something productive, so I wandered. I floated.
In my early twenties I became a wife and then a mom to three beautiful children. At one point, I had a newborn, an eighteen month old and a two and a half year old. Looking back, I wonder how in the world I kept it all together. I was so proud of the family I was building and was consumed by motherhood. In those years of raising babies into children and children into adolescence, their desires and dreams became mine.
However, as any artist knows, the ache to create never goes away. It lays dormant for a season, waiting for a chance to bloom. It puts down strong roots so that when the right time appears, it can burst forth into something beautiful to offer the world.
