  • Rebooting, Resilience and Creating - A Conversation with Artist Jackie Begue
    Aug 15 2025

    In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with my friend, artist Jackie Begue, to talk about rebooting, resilience, and the creative spark that can emerge from life’s unexpected turns.

    We share the story of her beautiful “Resilience” artwork of waterlilies — and how it inspired me to invite her to illustrate and collaborate on my Pink Cloud Moments™ Sacred Space Journal for Caregivers, launching September 19th on Amazon. Along the way, we reflect on the past few years of travel, moving home to Louisiana, personal growth, and rebooting after challenging seasons. Plus, we chat about the exciting projects ahead with my memoir Life in the A-Zone and new guided journals.

    It’s a behind-the-scenes look at friendship, art, and the courage to keep creating no matter where life takes you.

    Peggy and her sister Shannan rush back from Washington D.C. when her mother takes a turn for the worse. Miraculously, they are able to be by her side with the family as she took her last breath. The sky glowed pink hours before she passed and whenever family or friends see a pink sky, they will remember it is a Sherry Sky.
