This year, "Pieces of Me" had the opportunity to participate in one of the June Markets. As community members passed through, both children and adults, added their mark to this community canvas. One person, one stroke at a time produced this week's featured piece: "June." Beautiful things come to fruition, when we value each person and each stroke. Thank you Smyrna Residents for your participation!!! This post is homage to you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a35cb0f0abd0420bf574dcb/1529945831588-DJV83UOXCWY1OVWM6I8A/juneteenth.jpg Past Featured Pieces - Juneteenth/You Are Free! It's one thing to BE free...and another thing to KNOW you are free. It's one thing to KNOW you are free and another thing to WALK IN YOUR FREEDOM. As many around the country celebrate Juneteenth, I pause to reflect on the meaning of and cost of FREEDOM. I pause to reflect on the courage required to walk in it, proclaim it, and fight to protect it. This piece depicts a voice shouting out to those who need to hear it: YOU ARE FREE! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a35cb0f0abd0420bf574dcb/1532026787207-KCEXHQ5PXG2D0JJ88VHX/Refueling.jpg Past Featured Pieces - Refueling Made for a purpose, a masterpiece of a design Gifted to be present and a present to this world Yet needing from time to time To steal away And fill up again To REFUEL And plug into THE SOURCE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a35cb0f0abd0420bf574dcb/1534970559105-JJN6NQY5WLG1B831AMEP/Upheld.jpg Past Featured Pieces - Upheld This piece is homage to the hands and hearts, words and deeds that have encouraged my heart, uplifted my spirit, and propelled me further into my destiny...for we rarely "arrive" on our own... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a35cb0f0abd0420bf574dcb/1535712144542-ZGML7JWQW1Y7USZPCF7V/Trust.jpg Past Featured Pieces - Trust is built...and must be maintained with both hands and bent knees with effort, intentionality, and care Sometimes it's altered, and sometimes it crumbles into seemingly irreconcilable pieces. Yet hope remains... TRUST can be rebuilt with right hands and right hearts with both hands, and bent knees with effort, intentionality, and care. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a35cb0f0abd0420bf574dcb/1537997795751-F5ZQYAVNEJQ9TL05ABLR/Burden+Bearer.jpg Past Featured Pieces - Burden Bearer Dear Canvas, You bear my burdens without complaint. The weight of my heart is never too heavy for you. You draw out the ailing of my soul, leaving me with closure, resolve, and greater tenacity to pursue purpose. You receive my tears and cleanse my soul. You take what feels ugly and create a masterpiece. You take what shames me and tell a beautiful story of transformative hope. You are my burden bearer, yes; but even more importantly, you are my exhale, freeing me to take in another breath of fresh air. Thank you. https://www.piecesofajm.com/communitylights daily 0.75 2026-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a35cb0f0abd0420bf574dcb/1530671810189-BW7N4SOCFDBEJKWTH9XW/image-asset.jpeg Community Lights https://www.piecesofajm.com/communitylights/2026/7/17/waffle-house monthly 0.5 2026-07-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a35cb0f0abd0420bf574dcb/350d3d19-a67e-4445-9ad4-3276e4b648b8/ChatGPT+Image+Jul+17%2C+2026%2C+11_39_55+AM.png Community Lights - A House of Love, Light and Warmth - Make it stand out Image created by ChatGPT 7.17.2026 https://www.piecesofajm.com/communitylights/2026/3/2/surrounded-by-light monthly 0.5 2026-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a35cb0f0abd0420bf574dcb/ff0ec185-6578-4636-9b9b-1728e7b84f1f/20260227_101403+%281%29.PNG Community Lights - Surrounded by Light - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.piecesofajm.com/shared-pieces daily 0.75 2026-07-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a35cb0f0abd0420bf574dcb/1571921355799-VH929WBY3QPIKRX0GMYH/Pieces+of+Me+Jigsaw.++Just+Me.jpg Shared Pieces (Blog) https://www.piecesofajm.com/shared-pieces/2026/6/28/human-vessel monthly 0.5 2026-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a35cb0f0abd0420bf574dcb/119eb8b7-b945-4434-971a-187b147462e1/Human.Vessel.2026.JPG Shared Pieces (Blog) - Human.

Hi, I’m Ashley! I'm a creative at heart, an educator by calling, and a wife, mom, leader, artist, and lifelong learner by life's beautiful design. Whether I'm painting a canvas, writing poetry, facilitating meaningful conversations, or creating spaces where people feel seen and valued, I'm most energized when helping others discover the beauty and possibility within themselves. For more than 18 years, I've had the privilege of serving in schools and nonprofit organizations, leading initiatives centered on leadership, belonging, learning, and human connection. While my roles have changed over the years, the heart behind my work has remained the same: people matter. Every person carries a story worth honoring, gifts worth sharing, and experiences that shape who they are becoming. Outside of work, you'll usually find me creating something—painting, writing, dancing in the kitchen, reading, dreaming up workshops, or spending time with family and friends. Creativity isn't simply something I do; it's one of the ways I make sense of the world and connect with others. I believe we are all made up of pieces—our joys, challenges, relationships, dreams, mistakes, triumphs, and moments of growth. Every piece has value. Every story has meaning. And when we pause long enough to reflect on those pieces, we often discover purpose that was there all along. This website is my landing place—a collection of the pieces that have shaped me and continue to inspire me. Here you'll find art, writing, reflections, stories, and resources that I hope encourage you to embrace your own journey with curiosity, courage, and compassion. This is also the home of Purpose in the Pieces LLC, where I partner with individuals, schools, organizations, and teams through workshops, consulting, and speaking experiences designed to help people reflect, connect, and grow. If you're interested in learning more about those services, you'll find the Purpose in the Pieces button below. Whether you're here because of a painting, a poem, a workshop, or simple curiosity, welcome! I’m so glad you're here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a35cb0f0abd0420bf574dcb/1519252165299-OJO0L7WNOR4GTWSBEJV8/about+the+artist.jpg Behind the Pieces - I am determined to transform every awkward part of me every tear every fragment of pain every feeling of misfit into a masterpiece of a life one in which possesses power and purpose one that radiates LOVE in such a way that even those in distant lands feel my touch rays of sunshine SONshine healing rays warming rays rays of hope rays of light dispelling darkness and all of its bondage https://www.piecesofajm.com/purposeinthepiecesllc daily 0.75 2026-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a35cb0f0abd0420bf574dcb/314c2771-a5c5-4f90-9a6c-3a392b182743/Purpose+in+the+Pieces+LLC+logo+%28white+background%29+%281%29.png Purpose in the Pieces LLC - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a35cb0f0abd0420bf574dcb/0821361b-f312-4d47-b9dc-9fbcc08ef35c/Bold+Summit-32.jpg Purpose in the Pieces LLC - Hi, I’m Ashley. Creative. Mother. Wife. Educator. Leader. Facilitator. I help individuals and teams engage in the inner work that transforms and strengthens how they show up, connect, and lead. Through reflective facilitation, workshops, and advisory support, I create environments where people feel seen, challenged, and empowered to grow with intention. I have an MEd in Learning, Leadership, and Organizational Development, a B.S. in Elementary Education, and over 18 years of experience facilitating psychologically safe learning spaces for individuals and groups to reflect, learn, and grow. My work blends storytelling, thoughtful dialogue, reflective practices, connection experiences, and art to spark insight, cultivate hope, strengthen well-being, and inspire meaningful action. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a35cb0f0abd0420bf574dcb/1547928538427-K6UZA5F9GEP76KQAGSMV/Envision+4.jpeg Purpose in the Pieces LLC - “Pieces of Me” Pieces of Me is a 90-minute workshop designed to foster self-awareness, positive self-concept, and meaningful reflection through creative expression. Participants are guided through engaging reflection and brainstorming activities that encourage them to explore the experiences, relationships, values, and identities that have shaped who they are. They then create a personalized canvas painting that tells a story, honors a meaningful part of themselves, or celebrates a defining life experience. Participants leave with a unique work of art that serves as a lasting reminder of their resilience, growth, and the many pieces that make them who they are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a35cb0f0abd0420bf574dcb/1547928442328-SY1DMSL5OXL7SE8WBLG6/Envision+2.jpg Purpose in the Pieces LLC - “Envision” Envision is a 90-minute workshop that empowers participants to move from possibility to purpose. Through guided reflection and intentional brainstorming, participants explore their strengths, dreams, and future goals before creating a mixed-media vision board that serves as a visual reminder of the life they are working to build. This experience encourages participants to dream boldly, identify meaningful next steps, and cultivate hope for what lies ahead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a35cb0f0abd0420bf574dcb/11281edc-a79a-4929-9dc4-360e716c7451/Purpose+in+the+Pieces+LLC+logo+%28white+background%29+%281%29.png Purpose in the Pieces LLC -
