I am so excited to share with you this week’s Dreamer Highlight.
Last week while I was perusing the internet I stumbled upon an interview Lilou Mace did with Leah Pearlman in Japan and after hearing about her journey and viewing her website, I fell in love with her creativity, drive, and her artistry. In the video (that you can view here), Leah tells Lilou how she stumbled upon her inner artist as she was on her own spiritual journey to find her life purpose. As she followed her inspiration to different places in the world she found herself drawing these stick figure comics that served as documentation of some of her favorite memories, thoughts, or inspirations. She later found that what started off as a hobby, quickly escalated into something greater and that is when Leah Pearlman found her inner artist and Dharma Comics was born.
Dharma Comics is a concept unlike any other I have seen and upon seeing one or two of her illustrations you will instantly fall in love. Leah takes lovely spiritual quotes, musings, thoughts, and her own inspirational sayings and couples them with her unique illustrations to make genuine works of art. Check out her website here to see her collection of thought-provoking and inspiring comics that speak to the soul. I have highlighted some of my favorites here, here, and here.
One of the things I love so much about her story is that she followed her heart every step of the way. She did the things that felt good to her by traveling the world and while she was “searching”, she wasn’t doing anything that felt like struggle, work, or stress to find her passion. She allowed it to unfold organically as she followed each little inspirational nugget along the way.
Simple? Maybe, but it works. The more we struggle and fight to do anything, the more resistance we bring to it. When we allow ourselves the joy of doing what we love and follow our inspiration on the way to our dreams, we are allowing the energy to flow and we remain open to the possibilities around us. It is there you may realize that thing you were reaching for was there with you all along. You couldn’t see it because you were trying so hard to find it.
If you are looking for a lot of inspiration and some wonderful work, check out Dharma Comics. I promise you won’t be disappointed!
