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.
