A woman runs freely and joyfully embracing life with openness and receptivity. She is filled with energy. The wind is blowing on her face and in her hair. Her arms are open to welcome life wholeheartedly. I believe that a life infused with a connection to the universal intelligence is a life where we experience la joie de vivre, the joy of living.  When we follow our heartfelt dreams and purpose, we give new meaning to our lives. This painting is an invitation to connect with our heart where aliveness resides.
