If you ever need encouragement or just an honest voice go to read jen's blog....http://jenlemen.com/blog/....She always makes me think and lightens my load. She is searching and creating and parenting and making mistakes and helping her neighbors and...
I love her art...
I have some of her artwork in my house and I go to it when I am feeling stressed and light a candle. As I walk by the candle later in the day or evening it takes my mind back to that place of peace.

I love Jen's art, and her blog! Thanks for sharing, Julie. I love you!
Hi Julie...I got here through your comment on Heath and Erins blog. Blogs...I never really even knew what they were and you have been doing it for a while!! How are you? Working this summer? Or do you have it off? I'm taking some time off myself!! Check out my new web site. www.sherrypiecreations.com
Let me hear from you! Sherry
Sherry, I went to your website. Cute cards! I knew that you were crafty but I didn't know how seriously crafty you were.
I really do miss you and would love to get together with you sometime soon.
I did hear from someone that you weren't working at Regional anymore. I miss all the nurses that we worked with there.
julie--that second piece is something i did for a young woman i met in a forced labor (re: slavery) situation. she came here hoping to make enough money to feed her children back home in africa, but so far her employers will only give her $200 a month which hardly covers her expenses here.
the situation is complicated, but lately my friend has been smiling--"i have options," she told me. "and that makes me feel good."
i have to tell these stories in the comment section only because high profile attention will not help her at all right now, but someday, someday, i will tell all these stories--out loud and with women like this by my side. :)
thought you might appreciate the backstory. blessings.
jen, thanks so much for the background story. You know that I love a story and particularly a story with hope and redemption in it.
I just had to share your artwork with my circle of friends...you amaze me and I have loved our weird friendship...from online to Cedar Ridge to email world and then to our connection with Sally.
Thanks for letting me into your world.
much love to you!!!
