"Jen Lee is a pioneer. She answers a call to search more deeply, to resolve questions with truth and integrity. And--lucky for us all--she shares what she learns from her journey through teaching and storytelling so that we can gain more clarity around what is calling us and how to explore that unknown terrain with confidence and courage."

--Elizabeth Duvivier, founder of Squam Art Workshops

"Here's the magic about Jen Lee: No matter how deeply I think I've gone into a topic, Jen can always take me deeper. Just when I think I have something figured out, she asks a question or offers a thought that gives me a new perspective and shows me what I was missing. I live a richer creative life because of her wisdom."  --Jenna McGuiggan, The Word Cellar

Podcast: When The Words Come Back

The words come and go, but some friends never leave your side. Diana+It's back! The podcast is back, and I am as happy as anyone.  Now I'm off to sip my fancy peppermint tea (it really does taste better) and catch these thoughts before they drift away. Click on the link below to listen:

Sorry, Danielle--brief technical difficulty. Resolved now!

thanks, Jen!
I like to come here b/c it's just so amazingly soothing to keep seeing how parallel the process is. . . the observations, the waiting for words. . . to creating a painting, physical pieces of art. And for other things.
Oh, and I totally get the knitting. . . yes I do.

I want quiet and solitude, too, when I'm gearing up to catch a creative wave.

It's really inspiring to me that you go ahead and put yourself out there anyway, though you feel like the words coming are total crap. (They're not, by the way. Not that I've seen.) I'm such a chicken when it comes to doing that a lot of the time. I'm just starting to come out of that, of seeing everything I write as inferior to everything and everyone else.

Thank you, thank you for sharing these things with us. :)

Welcome back, sweet Jen. I've been knitting too...and waiting for words...and trying to keep giving the small gifts of what I have. Thanks for these words today.

brilliant. there are no words yet because they are being lived. yes, we are living the stories that we will one day write. thank you for this today. i needed to hear this and wrap myself in it.

the 'tmwy journey together' was a month-long meditation for me...lots of words and insights. and now, emptiness (a wordless spell). but today i see, they are alive in me.

Welcome back Jen and thanks so much for this! I really appreciate how you are willing to share your vulnerable moments-- and it always encourages me.
