Spirit :: Journaling

 

Hello! I am off from work today.

Our district closed the schools

because of the sub-zero temperatures

and crazy blowing winds.

I braved the cold for just a brief moment

and realized why!

This collage made me feel warmth

and sun.

I like the light.

It is inspired, also, by the

wonderful, wonderful

book

I am reading...(two pages per day):

A Year of Miracles,

Daily Devotions & Reflections

by

Marianne Williamson.

I hope you check it out.

It speaks to me

but also puts into words

more beautifully,

the thoughts I am thinking lately.

Love to you,

~k

Journaling...

When I woke up this morning

it was still well below freezing

but the sky was brilliant blue

without a single cloud

and the sun shone so

brightly

on the knee-high snow

that 

I almost 

liked

winter

again...!

Yes, I keep summer in my heart.

I love to feel the sunshine

on my skin...

Peace and love to you,

~k

Silence :: Journaling

Sometimes all I need is Silence.

It frees up my mind

allowing me to open to the light.

When I am still,

I can turn off the world's chaos

and feel the sense of order

that is really in the universe, and the love.

{I've been into geometric shapes lately.}

>>>...>>>

And this is how I wanted to celebrate

my birthday last week:

Andi has already grown!

She is 2 weeks old

and is filling out her newborn sized sleepers!

Oh, I love her so much

that

my

heart

swells 

and tears well up in my eyes.

amazing...

my granddaughter.

Learning

I am at a point in my life 

when I am discovering

and learning

so much

...about a lot of things

and about Life

and about myself

I guess I wasn't ready to learn it earlier

but at least I am open now

and am forgiving myself.

I am meant to be

me

and I am enough.

I just want to learn more.

It is all so miraculous, this life.

...

Thank you for visiting

and for sharing in my granddaughter love & joy.

1.4.14

 

A ways back, it was today's date that I predicted

would be the birth date of my first grand baby.

It's an awesome date, don't you think?!

Well, we are waiting yet...

eagerly, anxiously,

excitedly,

gratefully.

I do not know what

this precious baby will look like

but she will be as beautiful

and as loved

as the sky and the moon and the stars.

My heart swells.

Overflowing,

2013 :: Trust

Mixed Media collage in new art journal.

My Word for 2013 was Trust.

It found me.

It was meant to find me,

right when it did.

I am grateful.

And I do Trust.

What was your Word?

How do you feel about it as the year closes?

in my journal :: lots of writing

I have been doing lots of thinking

so I guess I had a lot to release onto

the pages...

Mixed media collage

in my art journal.

Is November really done in just a few hours?

Hope yours was filled with much

for which to be grateful!

~k

Releasing onto Pages

Journaling whenever I can...

trying to feel like I really do do something other

than work.

Remembering to breathe,

Trust,

feel peace

and

listen to the silence...

...and know that even fatigue

passes.

Wishing the world could just

slow down.

You know?

I'm sure you do!

Okay, breathe.

Thanks for visiting.

in my journal

Collage and writing...

in my art journal.

We had an unexpected warmer day today.

I took my Mom to Fro Yo

for a frozen yogurt lunch...

yes, we played hookie from a traditional

boring lunch...

What's new with you?

Sharing :: Soulful Artist Bebe Butler

Hi friends,

Sometimes, when I am just taking a walk

 I have the time to actually just think.

 And this time, when I took my walk,

I thought about my blog friends.

We are not "virtual friends". We form strong

 beautiful, lasting, supportive, real, friendships.

We learn from one another;

we've cried for one another, we inspire one another.

All the time.

 Those that don't get it, don't know about it yet!

C'mon in! The door is open!

I love the sharing

 I firmly believe that we are all connected in this universe.

Spread the love, share the art, spread the positivity, the peace.

I want to introduce you to a friend,

a soulful, beautiful person, and artist 

whom I respect, admire

 and am inspired by: Bebe Butler.

She creates mixed media pieces on wood

 and art prints that are so moving...

Bebe says, "I believe the images you surround yourself with can speak both to who you are, and where you're going..."

Bebe Butler is as true and beautiful as is her art...

I love the way her work flows...

from heart and soul...

the colors

 from a place of warmth and peacefulness.

Breathe in some more beauty and inspiration:

I have included links on the photos,

and here are the paths to Bebe's

shop, Peachfire

 and her gorgeous website.

Peace,

~k

Summer of Color: Final Week Already...#6

It's safe to say that we all love Kristin's Summer of Color...and 

this one went really fast!

The color combination in this final week is Sage & Sepia:

Vintage comes to mind right away... and then botanical...

which made me want to use my poppy pod photo

and newly carved botanical leaf pattern stamp.

~Delight in Summer!~

 "Hot fun in the summertime!"

Remembering that nothing's perfect,

I seek to embrace my itchy bug bites with glorious sunshine,

muggy humidity with the ice cream evenings...

because 

I 

 L.O.V.E  summertime.

Thank you, Kristin! Your summer party was INCREDIBLE

and so are YOU!
