One Line: “The chaos of a rainbow…” ~Gail Boenning
🎙️ Episode 73: In this heartwarming and deeply personal episode, Gail takes us back to 1978—a year marked by the loss of her mother, and the unexpected doorway that opened because of it: the world of stories.
What begins as a moment of sorrow becomes a masterclass in resilience, as Gail, just a young girl at the time, uses color to capture the emotional hue of those hard days. (And yes, this was Jay’s creative challenge to her... and she nailed it.) You’ll hear how the blues, reds and every shade in between helped her make sense of a world that no longer made sense—and how the power of juxtaposition (that magical storytelling device that puts light right next to shadow) helped her tell it.
Writers, this one’s for you.
Grievers, this one’s for you.
Anyone who’s ever felt too tender to speak but too full not to—this one’s especially for you. Because resilience isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s told in color.
Gail Boenning wanders, wonders, writes, and wields a paint brush. She finds joy in elevating the ordinary to the extraordinary.
