What's in a name...

Like all seasons, the winds of change are blowing and I'm finding myself in this place...

After FaceBook forced me to change my name, a change I wasn't sure I felt ready for, I felt like I've been in the midst of an identity crisis ever since.  I didn't realise so much of my identity was tied up in my name.  The past month I've been going backwards and forwards on my identity, profile and website name. It hasn't been easy facing the idea of letting go of #Flowrsinherhair.

It's been such a beautifully safe, gracious and healing space for me and I can't thank YOU enough for journeying with me through these special creative years.  I do know this, accepting change is never easy but I do understand, it's so important for growth and being brave.  

Flowrs will always be a part of me and my creative journey and I will always honor that.  Thank you for continuing to journey with me... as Jeanne-Marie.  Perhaps I've been hiding behind the Flowrs and although thats what was required for that season... Maybe without the push from FaceBook I would never have thought I could or would take this step forward.

At last my #AntlerGirl is finished - I wanted to fill her hair, her antlers and her heart with Flowrs.

You can continue to find me on Instagram, just now as JeanneMarieArt

and obviously here www.JeanneMarieArt.com

my TeaBagGirls journey www.TeaBagGirlsArt.com

I wanted to say a huge thank you to Galia who really helped me transition and helped me come up with my new name and handle and totally helped process the emotions around this week.  And Anne who allowed me to express my vulnerability in the changes.

Appreciate you both so much!
