Jen is my friend who encouraged me with my art for the original (Burn the Witch) art show… and then, this year, I helped again… stage managing, performing, displaying my art… she and I have become very close friends and I have been encouraging her, too… our own little microcosm of artists here in Bakersfield.

She says she has barely been able to keep up with herself energetically since V-Day… she said she is still carrying around the audience response since then and is now a changed person and not quite sure what to do with this change. (Makes me laugh because she was so resistant to it!)

She has a variety of illnesses that make her more comfortable in her apartment than out of it, so I went to her home for tea and cookies and conversation and we spoke of a variety of breakthroughs. She has had quite a leap since I started the “On the Edge” series… and I shared with her some of my Secret Project.

As we were talking about it, my whole chest heated up, my upper torso from my hands through my chest and back out again was buzzing. I had to stop talking and breathe into it.

We were both sitting there, crying, humbled and amazed.

Power women.
