In October of 2019 my niece invited me to take part in Inktober with her. When I learned that it was a drawing challenge I gulped since I hadn't drawn anything but a doodle since high school, (30+ years ago, (more gulping.)) Not wanting to loose my standing as the world's most fabulous aunt, I grabbed a ball point pen and went to work. Then something magic happened, I remembered that...I CAN DRAW! And that I LOVE it! The extra special sauce added on top was I realized, when I'm drawing I don't feel my pain! I've been suffering from chronic pain for years and this realization has been life changing. I become so lost in the process of creation I forget all about my body. Drawing has brought so much joy into my life and I want to share that joy with everyone.
