Kurtis talks about what he has done lately to bring his best, and Belinda shares a tasty beverage! Here is a little bit about Shannon:   Shannon Grissom Artist Statement I'm woo woo. No two ways about it.  I create in the 5th Dimension. Whether I paint a traditional portrait or a band of sock monkeys, my work has always contained a spiritual component. It's not enough for me to get a likeness of the subject. I won't stop until the spirit of the subject leaps off the canvas and speaks to you. No matter what life offers, the intention of all of my creative expressions, is that they focus on the good. Background I was a late bloomer. I didn't discover painting until I was 33! Once I finally realized I wanted to be a professional artist, I was hooked and driven. I'd get up early each day to paint for a few hours before the start of my day job. This demanding schedule was worth the effort. By 1999, I was able to leave my day job and began to create art as a full-time business. And thus began the amazing ride... At 44 I began production of the television series, Give Your Walls Some Soul. The inspirational how-to painting show grew from an audience of one station to over 50 stations across the country. It was seen in over 10 million households, winning numerous awards. It is still airing today. At 46, I published my children's book Monkey Made of Sockies. From that book came a line of licensed merchandise, a coloring book, and the popular Monkey Made of Sockies golf club headcovers that have been carried on tour by several LPGA pros. Today I am an award-winning artist, television producer/host, author, and songwriter. My artwork is licensed and sold globally, and I just launched an online art school "Painterly." So many people have helped me along the way and I am truly grateful. It is my mission to give back by supporting others on their journey.   Episode 4: BYOB By Self Advocating with Trigeminal Neuralgia with Belinda Gravel In today's episode, the hosts talk about what they have done recently to bring their best and enjoy a tasty beverage during the interview.
