The classic case of “life is what happens when you’re making
other plans” actually happened to me on my birthday on March 30.
Just as I was
reaching the 5,000 word mark of my second in-the-works Kindle book, I morphed
into an artist. A “for real” artist, who paints for a living and plays with
beautiful colors and brushes for all her “working hours”.
So this is what happened. I was taking a break from writing,
after having published a bestselling Kindle book “The Work-At-Home Military Wife”, and was hoping to recharge my batteries and get more ideas for my next
ebook “Self-care for Women”. The best way to indulge in self-care myself was to
bring out my paints and brushes, and paint the joyful pictures that I knew
would rejuvenate me and fill up my well with happiness.
I shared the photos of those finished paintings on social
media and these led to a few initial queries from moms who wanted to buy my
artwork for their kids’ rooms. All of it snowballed into ‘Jugnoo Story Art’ my
cute + quirky art venture, where I fuse my passion for painting & stories.
