Empty Nest Syndrome and the Need for a New Chapter
Embracing Change and Finding Joy: How My Empty Nest Led to a New Chapter with My Kitten, Ki-Lani
As a mother navigating the bittersweet transition of an empty nest, I’ve found new joy and inspiration through my sweet kitten, Ki-Lani. After my children left home for their own adventures, I yearned for deeper connections—and that’s when Ki-Lani came into my life. With her playful spirit and a name meaning "Heavenly Royalty" in Hawaiian, she has brought life back into our home. Ki-Lani’s presence fills the quiet moments, offering companionship and sparking fresh inspiration in my art studio.
In this new season of life, I’m learning to embrace change, trust in God’s guidance, and find beauty in the stillness. Discover how this new chapter has shaped my creative journey and inspired a deeper connection to both my faith and my work.

Embracing Autumn: A Season of Change, Gratitude, and Purpose
As autumn envelops us in its vibrant hues, it offers a powerful reminder of the beauty in change. Join me in reflecting on our lives, letting go of what no longer serves us, and embracing our unique journeys. Recently, a family trip to Tate's Farm inspired me to capture the essence of fall in my art, reminding us all that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. As we approach Election Day, let's also consider the values that guide our choices. This season of gratitude is the perfect time to appreciate the beauty around us and actively participate in shaping our future. Wishing you warmth and joy this autumn!
