What a joy to read! I loved learning more about Sam’s journey AND seeing the fabulous images to bring that it to life. The photo of you and your husband with the painting is so sweet. I’m feeling inspired to find something like that for me and mine to do. Bravo Lis and Sam! Thank you for a beautiful start to my Friday 🫶.

The paint nights are really fun. Highly recommend if you can find one. I think they actually have kits online and you can do it at home.

Thank you for your kindness and support. You're such a joy😊

Courtney Cunningham ✨'s avatar

I really want to do one! And with my hubs! I shall look into it.

Always!!! XO

Sam Messersmith's avatar

Yes! I can't wait to see what you both paint!

I never heard of Forest Therapy before, Sam. But I surely have an appreciation for the earth and always hugged trees. Thank you for the look inside your life. This was quite delightful, and I will be checking out your posts in the near future. Blessings ✨

Thank you so much, Jo-Ann! I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to read Sam's Creator Spotlight. 💖💖💖

Of course,Lis! I believe, maybe missed one. I’m not on much, for I am guided by the light of Angels, advised not to spend more than 2 hours online. So I will get to it eventually. Have a blessed Sunday

Lis's avatar

Thank you very much, Jo-Ann!

I so appreciate your generous support of the Creator Spotlight, and how wonderful that you limit your online time to 2 hours.

Wishing you much beauty and joy in the coming days. 💖💖💖
