"In January 2009 I opened a blank art journal knowing I had to paint. My life depended on it. Just months before, I told my husband of 33 years that I wanted a divorce. Little did I know that this journal would help me through the ups and downs of being alone for the first time in my life and the stress of two major moves." Analesa

This personal and very revealing journal was never meant to go 'public'. Many friends urged Analesa BatShema (now Berg) to share her vibrant and emotionally moving creative process with a broader audience. They knew the visceral impact each of her entries makes on the reader.

Analesa's story is universal and her courage inspiring. You can't help feel encouraged on your own journey through life's difficult times.

The art and poetry speak for themselves. In addition, the author offers ways to use the book on your own or with a group. This is a must for anyone who wants inspiration to follow their heart and feel the love that is all around, no matter what.
