I&#8217;m blessed and very grateful. I&#8217;m creating this blog post as I sit in Key West Florida sipping on cafe con leche at Sandy&#8217;s on White Street outside in the sunshine &#8230; Its February . I have a soul connection with Key West . It&#8217;s a beautiful ,artistic, magical place that has offered me many wonderful things both artistically and personally . I also have a soul connection with my art . Choosing to pursue my passion for art,independence , spiritual growth and sunshine has been quite an interesting journey . When I chose to use my gifts and do what I love as a career&#8230; I was excited.. but also seriously scared. There comes pivot points in life when it&#8217;s no longer an option to do what you&#8217;ve always done , simply because it&#8217;s just not fun and it no longer brings happiness . Discovering that truth is one thing , acting upon it to create change for oneself is another thing . I went in the direction of change&#8230;. Scared &#8230; But kept the faith.  I had a series of successes and failures along they way , I questioned myself , sometimes I wanted to quit &#8230; But I kept on going . I&#8217;m proud of myself for that , my soul and my art wouldn&#8217;t have it any other way . Follow your heart and believe in your dreams, anything is possible when you believe !!! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jennifermontgomery.net\">www.JenniferMontgomery.net <\/a>crazyfacesfp@aol.com 610.764.0853<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First I&#8217;ll say ..
