Storytellers: JeMa

JeMa and Catherine

This is JeMa. She and her husband sold their house, left their hometown and are now traveling the states in an RV with their four children. (I find this incredibly romantic!) You can read their journey on her blog Hair in the Air. She passed through my town this weekend and we spent a beautiful afternoon visiting (four hours to be exact)! Non-stop talking--like we'd known each other for ages. It was a beautiful connection!

JeMa's doing a public art project called Inspire to Inspire. She painted the outline of a monarch butterfly on their RV and is coloring it in with decals.  Each decal represents one person and three things that inspire them.  (You can add to her project by telling what inspires you on the Inspire to Inspire website and she'll attach your decal) JeMa said one of her favorite parts of the project is seeing someone add a decal to the vehicle with hesitancy at first and then with childlike wonder. It's an awakening to understand we are all creatives, only diverse in what quickens our hearts.

I'm overwhelmingly thankful for JeMa and her creative spirit! Speaking of thanks, I hope you'll check out my Give Thanks page. I'm taking the month of November to appreciate what normally doesn't capture my notice.
