The most rebellious thing we can do in the world today is be full of joy. I used to think that joy came in external forms – from people and in things, and spent so many years of my life seeking it. The reality is that it is inside of you – and you are the only person that holds the key. As an artist, I encourage different ways to look at things. I believe presence and perspective is the simplest way to leverage the frame of mind necessary to slow down and see and feel joy from within, and without the need for external substances. Thank you to Andrea for capturing my inner joy in her beautiful, colorful creations – and the opportunity to shine my light to help others along the way.
