This oil painting was the inspiration for one of my favorite and most meaningful stories…”Follow Your Bliss.”

Excerpt from ”Follow Your Bliss”

“Looking at the painting I had just spent the morning working on…in that beautiful Vermont early August light…I was completely overcome by a feeling of joy unlike anything I had experienced in a very long time. I will never forget that feeling. It was a feeling of renewal and rebirth. It was as if I had come alive again. In a very important way. I had reclaimed a part of myself that I thought was lost forever…dead. But it wasn’t! I wanted to not only cry…but dance and sing as well. In fact, I am sure I did just that. I also thanked God, the universe, and whomever else I thought deserved honorable mention… for giving me back that piece of myself. For giving me a sign. A sign that my life wasn’t over. A sign that maybe it was just beginning. A different life from the one I had planned…but my life, nonetheless.”
