We're so excited to feature another member of our community who has such a positive perspective and outlook that will be sure to inspire others.
Meet super talented artist and entrepreneur @heatherjohnstonart!

"I was very excited to do my first Make-It show this past fall … then it was canceled. Acceptance actually came easily after being in a pandemic for months and months. And it was just another opportunity to adapt and change. Change thoughts, ideas, plans, goals, that is what has been necessary to ‘survive’ in business during Covid. Acceptance has been a huge gift of covid, fighting creates a resistance and to thrive I have had to be fluid. Of course when things went really down financially I was in a dark place. But I have had to focus on the future and what my work is about. It is about beauty and memory and connection.

At first I was ‘ok’ with the pandemic, I was recovering from an operation so I had already planned to use my ‘down time’ in recovery to learn a new skill set (repeat surface pattern design) for my business. I have been printing my images onto fabric since it first became an option. So I was naturally shifting to create repeat patterns out of my photographs instead of single images.

Mastery takes time, they say 10,000 hours. I have clocked that and more in art making so I feel I have a head start with pattern creation. That being said I am just starting to rise out of the ashes with my new work. Nothing amazing happens overnight but with will power and working towards intention I know I will come out of the pandemic in a much stronger position, both in my work and in my personal life."

Meet Agnes from @healing.bees who has a beautiful story of courage and the power of trying something new♥️

The last 2 years have been very challenging for all of us. However, what comes to mind to sum it all up is RESILIENCE. Whenever life puts us into a storm we either perish or grow and become more resilient. Growth is not fun, it comes with pain and a lot of work, but when you are on the other side you feel accomplished. You get the feeling that no matter what life throws at you next, you will fight and you will make it. Frankly, I am tired, and I would like to get to a place of calm peace and rest but that seems impossible when I work part-time as a professional (Registered Dietitian), run a small business and am a mother of six kids.

As a small business, March of 2020 pushed us to come up with a new product - Hand Sanitizer! We built an online store and figured out how to get started on social media. There is much growth and learning ahead, but we trust that the resilience we have under our belt will get us through all the next stages of life!
