My 7th Artversary and more

Seek JOY in Every Season

Is there a small decision that completely changed the trajectory of your life?

Today is my 7th Artversary. The day etched in my heart as the moment I fell in love with abstract, colors and the state of flow. It’s in my calendar with heart and trees emojis. And every year I celebrate it.

(If you missed the story about that one sunny Saturday afternoon in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, you can find it here: Who am I and how did I get here).

Life happens slowly and suddenly. One day you are working on financial reports and strategy presentations, and ten years later, your kitchen table has stacks of poetry books, vintage sheet music, paint brushes, Japanese translations, and French bistro menu updates.

My life is slower now, less globe trotting, more walks in my neighborhood, more family and friends. I still read more nonfiction than fiction, and wish to use more of my left brain.

We are all one decision away from a completely different life. One little seed that blooms by tending to it with intention and curiosity or grows into a beautiful birch tree (my favorite).

In the dance of life, Joy is the melody that awakens our heart and invites us to join in the celebration.
