Every single person on this planet has an inner voice. It is something that is difficult to put into words what exactly that is. I know for me it is a KNOWING. If I listen and obey this voice I am simply living the story that was already intended for me. The last time this has happened to me in my artist journey was when I went and sent my work to be shown at Art Basel. Something told me to send my work in... I got it. This project the same thing. Something told me to send my work and here were are. Not only is my work published but it made the front and back cover of this amazing publication. I have had many opportunities to expose my work in other ways but I have noticed that if my inner knowing isn't telling me to move in that direction; I will not do it. I just have to say that in the recent months and the amount of loss and healing through my losses, I needed this. Having given this amazing feature and opportunity was a confirmation I've been praying and manifesting for a very long time. This for me was to let me know to ALWAYS have art moving in my life. That this gift of art will give me freedom.
Being able to be among the most talented group of people in a very long time made me feel like I was home. When was the last time you felt at home with strangers? To be with a group of talented people and being honored for the gifts you decide to share with other strangers. For them to interpret your story with your words, music, or visuals? It is braver than you think. It is showing and exposing a side of yourself to be judged and critiqued by others. Allowing and side of vulnerability and transparency in the language of artistry. I am honored. I am grateful.
This is the beginning of my story. My knowing told me that my level of 35 would be a life-changing one. I just didn't know how much would change. Losing friendships, loved ones, relationships. What has saved me through the pain and suffering has been my art. It has given me peace but most importantly it has reminded me of my purpose. It has reminded me why God and/or the universe have created me in the first place. The moment of intention that was placed upon me the second I was created. I am here. Here I stay. This cover girl has finally found her home.
