Life has a way of sneaking up on you when you least expect it and priorities shift your path. Stress, my daddyâs progressing dementia, and wanting to be everything for everyone will tear you down unless you realize you canât be everything for everyone.
Thatâs when you stop the noise, let go of the guilt, and take a step back. You start choosing quality over quantityâtaking care of yourself, spending meaningful time with the people you love, and being fully present in the moments that actually bring you joy.
This is one of three pieces created with that mantra in mind and will be offered next week at Art Splash, an âArt in The Gardenâ annual fundraiser gala and online art auction to benefit the Montgomery Christian School (MCS) Scholarship Fund to educate students in our community who otherwise would be unable to receive this academically challenging education.
Knowing that every MCS student receives scholarship supportâand that this event has raised over $1.5 million over the past 14 yearsâadds a deeper purpose to each piece. Itâs not just about whatâs on the canvas, but what it can do beyond it. Iâm always so honored my art can play a part in something so meaningful.
And a big thank you to all who have stuck with me during my downtime on posting! And big hugs to all who are a daddyâs girl going through something similar or just navigating through new and sometimes dark and scary waters right now. I see you and know you are not alone XOXOXOXO đ©·đ©·
