ole's starlight club + so much possibility

when i was in elementary school, my dad owned a bar called

"ole's starlight club" (ole was his dad's name).
he died a few years ago + i received his blue club shirt
+ decided to transform it + sent these drawings, along with his shirt,
 to this sweet birdie blue in australia to work her magic!

+ here's what she did!

woo hoo!

on another ((love)) note,

 i'd love to share with you

the story of when much changed for me

a few years ago... as an example for all of us ~ of how

the impossible simply ~ isn't...as kelly rae beautifully puts it

heartsun

in response to not feeling well,
my dear six year old brilliant friend, meseret,
made me a drawing of myself in a jacuzzi, complete with a heartsun.
i'm so grateful for the good + plenty that springs
from friendship...which includes each + every one of you.

i am Yes and Amen, Junelle Jacobsen ~ an avid photojournalist, prolific sketcher, a wild art teacher and mentor,  mum of boy-men, a nun-in-disguise, and lover of the sheep.  

i am a passionate advocate for playful curiosity and living life through daily adventures ~ i want to see, to experience, to understand and then share the goodness that abounds in this life.  it doesn’t matter if it is sketching, smearing gesso, shooting photographs, biking or hiking, writing prose, or sharing a laugh...whatever helps to see the world anew everyday -- that is my daily work, my call in life.

a huge part of that is learning to live life with open & unclenched hands, follow the divine path wherever it takes me, and remembering to have a bag packed for what’s coming next.  i choose to live life with a “Yes” on my lips, a welcoming heart for new friends, and that *adventure* word scribbled at the top of every day’s list.
