Making it Happen...

I created ArtsyOccasion because of a dream that I have to live my life in a way that I am constantly giving back while using my talents. 

Ultimately, I will create and run a picturesque retreat high upon a hilltop of lavender fields and orchards, with galleries of fine arts and aromas of handmade artisan breads and other fine culinary creations. It's a place where families will gather to spend time, meaningful time, together to share their  desires of the heart and create the action steps to live out these dreams while there is still time. We lost my father before we ever though it would be his time and as the time drew nearer and his body weakened, I found it harder to ask the tough questions, like what do you want to do before your time is up. I learned that it just gets more difficult  and taxing on the body, and that life really is about living to it's fullest everyday.
