Hi,<\/p>

The kindness art challenge is on hold because I have had ill family members, followed by me getting sick. It has been an unexpected detour for the last couple of months. I lost my voice and had lots of coughing, but I am recovering. I hope to be well enough to record the kindness art challenge videos soon and launch it.<\/p>

Until then, I thought I would share a few art pieces from my sketchbook. I am a fan of cats. I love how they can snuggle together for a nap with contorted bodies and blissful expressions. As they breathe calmly,  the cats’ energy appears peaceful to me.  It makes me think of love merging with depictions of atomic energy that show a nucleus with electrons in constant radiating orbits around it.<\/p>

I used that as inspiration for the cat nap sketch below for “Give and Receive Love.” The cats support each other while napping in a sustaining loop of snuggle love shown by the radiating hearts. When I am sick or caring for a loved one, it reminds me of the blessing of having a caring community to help you on the healing journey.<\/p>

If you have any thoughts or ideas about the art and messaging, please reply to this email to share your insights.<\/p>

Thank You,
