The simplicity of life’s journey and the complexity of a process is what helps inspire some of her most spiritual works.
Jazzmyn has always been aware of the Spiritual world around her. Knowing that we are all called to a higher purpose, she has described her journey as “humbly complex & spiritually raw.”
“trust the journey” & “enjoy the process” these two phrases have become her mantras for getting through tough times in her life and have also helped in her pursuit of purpose. She says that her impatience as an artist can be somewhat of a conundrum, but she has been on an ongoing journey to learn “perspective of the present.” Like most people, she finds the “chase” of the next idea or steps in life to be exciting and somewhat frustrating. She has come to understand that the here and now is more important to help define what comes next. She hopes to inspire people to sit in their present moments and take the steps to Enjoy Life through art & existence.
The Breaking Bread Village
5 people 5 conversations series 2021
This is an interview series with Erin Patrice of The Breaking Bread Village in the early winter of 2021. She asked me some tough questions that reimplemented the truth of how to intentionally Enjoy Life. This has been a continuing evolution of learning to believe in myself and see that life is a process; that everything is going to be okay, that the sun will rise again, the snow will melt and tomorrow is a new day, and many failed attempts are necessary to gain this life which I am so grateful for.
