These are the questions that I have been pondering while painting over the past three weeks as I also participate in a 21-day Meditation Challenge offered by the Chopra Center. Sounds a bit sophomoric but, in fact, it was perfect timing for me to go within and process my answers with fresh eyes and an […]
