An intimate look at why I've been spending some intentional time alone, hibernating. I'm not lonely and having no friends around is okay. Looking back into my past, realising I'm an introvert and hibernating in my art studio coccon. I've been watercolour painting, my own version of the Pre Raphaelite painting of Lady Godiva (by John Collier) and finding all sorts of magical gifts and insights from this intentional time alone. I'm also looking back at my early influences and inspirations and finding some treasures buried from my past. Thank you so much for keeping me company on this wild ride called life! Try to keep your lights shining bright out there! Love you all to bits, Wendy.
