A little late, but full of gratitude..
A few days ago, I received the cover art for Whispers Beneath the Stars from the incredibly talented @9artsdragon. And I’ve just been quietly staring at it ever since, trying to find the right words. It’s beautiful. Really, truly beautiful. She somehow captured a feeling I didn’t even know how to explain. That soft, hushed kind of wonder the story is built on, it’s right there in the image.
What amazes me even more is that she’s just as gifted with words. Her writing is layered and powerful, sometimes quiet, sometimes devastating. And then she turns around and creates art like this. If you haven’t seen her work, please go look. She’s one of those rare creators who carries more talent than seems fair, honestly. There are days I still don’t know how I ended up surrounded by this much love and support. This group, most of whom were strangers just a year ago, has become something gentle and kind and deeply grounding in my life. I often feel undeserving, but incredibly lucky. Thank you, @9artsdragon, for this gift. And thank you to all of you...for reading, for showing up, for sharing pieces of yourselves so generously.
I’m so grateful. Truly.
