My word for 2025 and 1st journal page of the year

[@jillpontiere1814]

I’ve been where you are with my husband….after all his heart repair, then a pacemaker, he walks 5 days a week and does yoga with me and he will be 80 in March. Wishing and praying for you and your husband as you navigate through this journey. As always, I truly adore your art and you too❤❤

[@andreaharwood-jones7503]

I will pray for you both, dear Shawn. May the blessing of God, Holy One, Son, and Spirit, be with you and those you love, always.

A beautiful page and word. Remember to seek help when you need it, whether it's for house cleaning, some organization, or just a person to sit and drink tea with and talk. My word is Renewal. I am figuring out life after my husband passed this last September. I'll be re-creating my life.

[@ShawnPetite]

I'm so sorry for your loss ❤ Hugs!

[@GraceBrouwer]

This is one of my favourite pages I've seen you create. Adding my prayers for your husband's health, and for you as you deal with how it's turned your life upside-down.

[@JimmieWieSel]

I am so sorry you, your husband and family are going through this difficult health time. I found your channel as I was going through a difficult time. Your calm voice, your inspiring art process and your love for your followers was exactly what I needed and still turn to you for calmness in my crazy brain. As a recent widow, I feel and can understand your pain, your fear, your hope and all the other feelings that comes with this unknown situation. My prayers and heart are with you and your family. As you always say “know you are loved”!

[@CindyRolf-ng3xp]

Such a beautiful peace, thank you for sharing your gifts. I'm sending healing prayers for your husband and the peace that passes all understanding for you all. Our creative gifts come from our creator, I've learned when I'm going through a hard season, to focus on the one, "God", who created us to create. That is where my peace comes from. To release will mean to lay this all at the feet of Jesus. He sees all, and He is for you and your husband. Love and hugs sweet Shawn. ❤

[@dailydoseofpaper]

[@daisyfieldparrks9320]

Praying for you and your husband. One thing I know is to speak God's word and keep believing God to do the impossible because God is a healer. Keeping you and your family in prayer. Sending love and hugs to you all.

[@emmascreativecorner1606]

Sorry for what your family is going through. We had a family member have a heart attack recently, on Christmas day actually. Paramedics were quick to the scene and they were stabilised. I think it's such a big shock when something like that happens. Loving your journal spread. I find it so helpful to have my art to turn to.

[@alicecollins8241]

Sending positive thoughts your way and best wishes for you and your husband. Enjoy your podcast so much. Unfortunately, the membership is out of my budget, but the Sunday videos are very inspiring.

[@jjarvis1227]

You are so inspirational, Shawn! So sorry to hear about your husband, and I will add him to my prayer list. Quietly watching you create, work through your season, and share your struggles was so helpful for me this morning. I've been away from creating for the past 2 years trying to grow a business. I HAVE to make time to do what brings me peace & joy even if it's 15 minutes a day. Looking forward to this year to making that a priority and scheduling it without compromise for myself. Thanks for all you do! Hang in there...

[@cab552]

Thank you as always for sharing your journey with us! I'm sorry to hear about your husband and will send prayers your way. My word for the year is Open. This year it came to me quickly...so many possibilities there. Godspeed healing to you and yours and wishes for a blessed 2025.

[@carolinacuoco2014]

Wonderful page and wonderful word. I hope everything works out well, it'll be a journey that can't be rushed, but I' sure you and your family will get there

[@JulieF33]

Sending you joy, love and prayers. ❤

[@lauramombourquette6903]

What a beautiful page! So glad I found you today. I was in exactly the same place a year ago with my husband and things are much brighter these days. So hang in there, focus on health and happiness and finding joy in your creativity. I love the word of the year, it resonates with where I am , lots of letting go as I embrace a new stage of life in retirement. All the best to you and your family.

[@Mysharona62]

Beautiful. Release is a great guiding focus for the year. Uplifting you and your husband during this time. May the care he receives allow him to heal and get through this. You are a blessing and I appreciate you.

[@karenbrown5174]

Sorry to hear about your husband and all the challenges your family is going through now. Never forget how important self care is as it is so easy to lose yourself during these times.

[@Readingextravaganza22]

You and your husband are in my prayers Shawn. You inspire me with your ability to keep going when the road gets bumpy. Thank you for sharing your heart and art with us. It’s the highlight of my week! ❤️🙏❤️

[@francinetoni268]

Oh Sean, my heart and prayers are with you in this season. Thank you for showing up amidst the struggle. I can identify with every word. I made a note in my planner, “move softly through things rather than barreling through”. Thank you for this inspiration. I pray that you can “Be still and know”. 🙏🏼

[@ShawnPetite]

thank you 💓

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Oh Shawn, I am so sorry to hear about your husband. Thank you for sharing this part of your journey. I have added you and him to my prayers for wisdom, recovery, healing, and hope. You are an inspiration to me. Always have been. I am in the insider group, but haven't done anything with it or even watched the content. My word for the year is exploration. I want to bust out of my boxes, so I will be spending considerable time getting back to your beautiful content. Sending love Shawn ❤️

[@ShawnPetite]

💗💜💗

[@melindameyers1967]

Beautiful page Shawn! Peaceful and calm. Thank you for sharing. Praying for you and your husband. Your word "release "is perfect in your season as you release your cares into the hands of the ONE who cares for you and is able to do more than you could ever think or imagine. The creator who gives the gift of creativity! You are loved!

[@terrigrob5464]

Thank you again for your candor and vulnerability. Many times the things you share are so beautiful and insightful that I get emotional; I’m surprised you are able to hold it together sometimes. I will be praying for your dear husband for you and your family. Getting the diagnosis is ½ the battle, now you can navigate toward the healing. Your art was alive and softly powerful - loved all the color! You will find your release, be gentle with yourself right now, we love you!

[@ShawnPetite]

THank you Terri ❤

[@ShawnPetite]

THanks so much💜

[@cindycreateforlife]

Your page is a perfect reflection of release and it comes at the perfect time for you! The world is so full of things we can’t control, so many confronting things we have to let go of and we are not made to carry burdens. We do our best and then, let go and let God lead us. Wishing you strength, peace and joy in this new year! 💕🙏🏼🇨🇦

[@Madde3333]

Wil be praying for your husband and for you and your family. You are an inspiration and I so appreciate your creativity and your lessons!

[@christiconant9756]

I love this piece, Shawn. It proves even in adversity you are able to create and journal out your emotions. Your talent is a gift from God. Thank you for sharing with us about your husband. I will be in prayer for your family daily..

[@dianegibson741]

Shawn, I've been where you are, including open heart surgery, chf and cold. I hear you, I feel you and I'm praying for you. It's so much harder on the caregiver than the patient. Being there for him is important but it's more important for self care. We got ya girl. Hugs

[@ShawnPetite]

thanks so much! 🧡💜

[@patriciabeaumont4442]

Absolutely love this Shawn…thank you so much…Hoping for a healing recovery for your husband and strength for you and your family…Thank goodness for art…it helps so much in many situations we go through in our lifetime…perfect therapy….take care…sending prayers for you all….❤❤❤

[@beckycollett917]

Holding a healing space for your husband and a quiet space for you full of Love and Peace!

[@neeardesigns3]

I am so very sorry to hear about your husband. Sending healing and strength prayers to all. I believe that the good Lord above sent me here because what you said about finding joy in our art is so important! I just started my channel and 3 days later broke 2 ribs (right before Christmas). My escape was my art and being able to share. With His help I was able to work through the pain because I "needed"to. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful soul and art with us all. Hugs and blessings to you and your family... Kiki (apologies for the length of this comment)

[@annhind5261]

Shawn, I'm sorry you are going through this hard time. There is joy in losing yourself in art, even ìf it's is only for a short time. Your page turned out beautiful. Sending big hugs from Australia.

[@doloresraml6539]

[@faithisrising]

I’m sorry to hear about your husband’s health struggle and will be praying for him and you. I have to thank you each week for your encouraging art and message. This is so beautiful and epitomizes release in every way. My word is Remember and that spoke to me about a week ago when I read a devotion of how the Israelites forgot what the Lord had done for them and made the golden calf. I want to remember his goodness and faithfulness even in the hard seasons.

[@ninniank9650]

Prayers for your husband and you. I’ve been there and still am. It is hard sneaking away to the table to find joy in creating. Hugs
