Light and Energy:: Journaling


I can't expect something different
if I don't at least try to do
some things differently.

I need to walk more,
 lift more, eat more veggies,
and take care of my spirit.
...

Play!
Create some art!

Have a great new week!

Heartfelt


 I played.
I tried out my new, fat
 Caran D'Ache NeoArt
 Aquarelle water-soluable wax pastels...
and LOVE them!

I finished my last journal and started a new one!

I've always loved and collected HEARTS:
rocks, books, jewels...so it seemed fitting
to try out new supplies by scribbling
 and doodling hearts.

It felt SO good to play,
to get a bit messy and free. I highly recommend it.

And I highly recommend these pastels.
I drew, then wiped a damp paper towel over parts,
just to see what would happen
and how they would blend and work.

I see many hours...years in this together.
LOVE these.

Have an amazingly fun weekend.

Hearts,
~k


PS. I stumbled upon a tiny Trust Stamp!
Perfect! My WORD for 2013!!

In Sorrow and in Love

A very special, long-time, loving friend passed away last week.
 I feel such grief.
 But I count my blessings,
 one of which, was knowing her.  
If you love someone, tell them today.

I am thankful for you,
my friends.

Thank you for visiting.

Love,
~kath

Sadness...


With the heavens so beautiful in the morning, yesterday,
how could this day have gone so...shockingly wrong...?

I am saddened at the Boston Tragedy and feel such despair
at those that can hurt others so deeply, like that. A child...innocent ones.

When I was just a little girl,
I would imagine God shaking His head in Fatherly sadness
as people hurt others and made
this
life
so
hard.

I must send love
and prayers
and hope
out into the universe.

We must.

But I am so sad...

Nature's Inspiration

Graphite pencil sketch


I took a long walk this morning.


I'm trying to be better about getting regular exercise,
and to breathe more fresh air,
 now that Spring has promised to come.

I had a lot of work to do inside today,
but I did love that power walk
with my sweet Ellie pup
and the incredible beauty in Nature
during my favorite part of the day: morning.

I think it's amazing that Nature surprises,
every single day,
no matter how busy or how old we get!

Hope you had a great weekend, friends!
Cheers to a brand new week!

 Feel the light in the space between.
