Here I am in my creative den. I suffer from chronic migraines and I spend a lot of time in my room in the dark. Today as things were feeling better I opened the curtains a little and took this self-portrait. You can see the zentangle that I designed for my tattoo. I call her sunshine in a nod to John Denver. “Sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy.”
I really identify with butterflies and I try to think of my time of rest as my transformation into a butterfly. Some of my best creative ideas come to me while I heal. I believe I am becoming someone better.

Thank you for sharing. I love to know what helps others nurture their creativity. All the encouragement from blogging really has really given me a boost!
We are all like butterflies. We metamorph from the chrysalis of our childhood into the butterflies we hope to be. Sometimes we fly but I know it’s all in the wings. Be brave and take the leap. G
Butterflies are so beautiful and I so enjoy all the ways they help people understand their own experience. Thank you for stopping by.
