       It's official everyone!
The sun is out and it's not going into hiding again! I don't like winter or snow, but I don't think I could ever move to a place that didn't have 4 seasons. Experiencing the metamorphosis of everything around me each Spring is such a gift! I shot this photo in Nigeria a few months ago and now seemed like the appropriate time to share b/c it perfectly captures how I'm feeling!
To be honest, there's nothing especially exciting to report. Since the last time I wrote, I've found myself in Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, North and South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia. My head is in a complete whirlwind b/c this year has been an absolute cornucopia of new people, places, and experiences! However... I have been doing some serious ground work on something else that I haven't been able to share just yet. So while it looks like I've found myself in a never-ending cycle of show-to-show-to-show, just know there are other things in the works. Stay tuned and you won't be dissapointed!

For all of you who are celebrating this glorious Easter season according to the Judeo-Christian calendar, and even for those who aren't, know that the sun never sets on the wonderful grace of God! I love this season! It holds so much powerful imagery and truth! Like a caterpiller coming out of it's tomb, emerging into it's most authentic self! Metamophosis! -Joy
