We are in a crisis right now and the suffering is real. The fact that people are losing loved ones is truly sad.

When difficult things happen it can be easy to get trapped into thinking that life is not working. However, from close observation, when difficult things happen, it is your response to the situation that ultimately determines how things pan out for you. You always have the freedom in how you choose to respond and interpret things. What was once seen as a negative event, can in turn become a learning experience, rich in meaning, a stepping stone to becoming a more whole person. GUEST; James Earley James is multi-disciplinary artist, best known for his beautiful large scale public artworks. No joke, James's most recent exhibition was entitled ‘Things Fall Apart’. We’ll be discussing this with him and other challenges within his life that have ultimately helped him grow as a person and artist.
