Jennifer: I love beading, wire-wrapping,metalsmithing,and soldering. I have been suffering with chronic pain/fatigue for almost 20 years. Much of my life(and some of the best years!), I raised a beautiful daughter on my own while working two jobs and going to school. I was always at fullspeed until my illness hit me hard. After having to have brain and neck surgery, I was unable to work a typical job. As many chronic pain sufferers do, I isolated myself for some time, but I eventually became determined not to give up. I needed to find that inner peace and happiness...a renewed purpose and meaning in my life. The ability to work flexible hours around my illness was also a must. When I decided to develop my passion for art, I also discovered the positive results it had on my health, attitude and well-being. I struggle with pain daily and still hope for a cure, but I truly believe that this illness is a blessing in disguise. It has allowed me to have no more excuses, to follow my heart and consequently, to fully appreciate life like never before.
