I'm incredibly inspired by your spontaneous international artist date and your thoughtful reflections on creating in community! I love that your families were supportive. I think it's easy for women to dismiss opportunities like this because they think they could never make it work, but the truth is that whether it's a spouse or family member or friend, many of us do have people in our lives who would step in to make our dream a reality.
