How do you keep a creative mindset when you’re not sure you’ll be OK? These past 3 months and counting have tested Athena and me both. As part of chronicling her recovery from a fractured femur as a person with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, I interviewed Athena on what she has found helpful. What follows is an excerpt of that conversation, edited for clarity…
Thank you S & A - just a thoroughly lovely interview, very real, very uplifting, and very valuable to all of us for when these times come. Yes - that Freeform App showed up on iPhone and iPad after one of the Software Updates (I think) but gosh - never imagined a beautiful creation like the little kayaker was possible with it. 👏⭐️💛
What really stays with me from this beautiful interview is the empowerment of telling the staff what to do vs what not to do. What a journey. I really appreciate what you covered in the interview and how you describe dealing with different aspects psychologically and physically. Continued well wishes to you both. 🌼

Thanks Mary! Glad you found it valuable. And yes, in the hands of an artist like Athena, an app like Freeform can create beautiful things.

I'm really glad the meditation/focused attention/hypnosis has/is helping you cope with the pain!
I also love that you have so many options for creating while you heal! Even if it doesn't have the same feel as paint. ❤️
Thank you for sharing these valuable insights. That painting looks beautiful!
Thanks so much! ❤️
