A Journey starts with One Step
I wrote the first 300 words of my blog on January 1st, 2018. Writing has been my passion my whole life, but I confined it to my journal and hid it. I thought that if I told my truth that people would judge and reject me. But my life came to a crossroads that I felt like if I didn't speak up I was going to burst. So, I overcame my fears and clicked the PUBLISH button on my blog.
To my surprise and delight, like minded women found my blog and began commenting and reaching out to me. They told me that I inspired them by being vulnerable and honest about my abusive past, and my present struggles.
I started creating a community of support that has encouraged me to keep going.
Writing my blog led me to rediscovering my passion for drawing illustrations of magical women. I started posting my illustrations on Instagram in March 2018. Once again, I received such support from my new community, that they convinced me to start selling my illustrations.
I feel so humbled that you are here, and enjoy what I have to offer. And I am grateful every single day that I had the courage to rediscover my creative side, otherwise none of this would exist.
