Pam Vale shares a story about almost saying no, but instead, she said yes.

In this solo episode, Pam recounts the surprising journey that began with a simple promotional email and led to a deeply moving creative experience at Chepstow, a lesser-known historic home in Newport, Rhode Island.

This is a heartfelt reminder that art is for everyone, beauty lives in the overlooked, and that following a spark of curiosity can open the door to meaningful inspiration and personal growth.

Key takeaways:

* Don't dismiss opportunities without exploring them first.

* Beauty and joy are valid outcomes of creativity.

* Share your creative experiences with others.
