"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

What the morning sky can tell you

Lake Michigan at Dawn, Diana+ camera

No experience is as grounding as getting your bare feet in dirt.

Beginnings are more beautiful than your finishing-obsessed mind will concede.

Real air, infused with the real scents of nature, is good for your body AND soul.

Regardless of whether you succeed or fail, in this endeavor or a hundred others to come, the sun rises and the sun sets, and in that you can find comfort.

When the light finally comes, color saunters in, several steps behind.

No matter who you are, how you feel, what thoughts swirl in your head or which circumstances spin around your feet, it is morning.  It is day.

The challenge is this...how do we know what the beginning is until we are already on the journey?

"the sun rises and the sun sets . . . " In that you can find more than comfort, although comfort is more than enough.

I am smitten with the Diana- I spent a shameless amount of time looking at all the options and exploring the flickr group- I'm sold! Thanks for your insights, can't wait to start my Diana journey!
