I love 💕 love this prayer.

Lord, help me trust You enough to hold opportunities with open hands. Help me work diligently without allowing work to consume my spirit. Teach me to steward the creative gifts You have given me and to believe that You are able to provide for every need. Give me wisdom to recognize the difference between a season, a lesson, and a lifelong assignment.

The Heart Behind FRESH

FRESH isn’t a marketing idea.

FRESH was born from a moment of inspiration that I believe God placed on my heart.

From that moment, the vision became clear:

Create a place where every woman feels seen, valued, encouraged, and renewed.

Every eight weeks, women from every generation, every culture, and every background gather in one room.

Five women each share for ten minutes, offering their stories, wisdom, creativity, and life experiences.

Together, we learn from one another, celebrate one another, and remind each other that none of us is meant to do life alone.

FRESH is a time to pause and reset.

It is an invitation to leave behind weariness, comparison, fear, isolation, and discouragement, replacing them with fresh vision, fresh strength, fresh friendships, and fresh purpose.

Our hope is that every woman leaves with fresh vision, fresh strength, fresh friendships, and a renewed sense of purpose, ready to rise.

FRESH isn’t about telling women what they should become. It’s about creating a space where they can breathe, belong, and discover they’re deeply loved.

Renew. Reconnect. Rise.

Welcome to FRESH.

This afternoon was my first day back in the studio!
We had a wonderful brunch this morning as the table was set and flowers were brought!

I’ll post some before and after pictures in a little bit, but I’m preparing for a tomorrow’s party for Poppy, so I wanna stay focused with the preparations.
However, I wanted to jump on here for my first day announcement and present a historical record of today being the first day of my
”Dream Big” focus for Bennett Art Design Studio!🎨

There’s been a lot of work that has gone on during the summer to create this focus and unpack all the stuff from storage from the move up here from Fort Smith.

I didn’t have a lot of time to do that when I first moved here because I got right into teaching.

If you’d like to stop by for a chat, a cuppa coffee or a painting session, leave it in my messages or in the comments below.
