Wings

We all need space to dream.
We all need friends to share those dreams with.
We all need people who can see those dreams too.
We all need to envisage those dreams through.
We need courage and faith and perseverence and prayer.
We need time to muse to get down into that juicy, real layer.

That's why I thank you.

Sneak Peak at Red Rocks Commentary

In looking back at some of my most significant memories with nature, I stumbled upon my 2008 trip to Colorado. Artistically, spiritually, and physically my hike at Red Rocks was a hi-light of my life so far. This picture reminds me to zoom in on the "good stuff." I guess sometimes we have to narrow our sites on the "smaller" picture to focus on the beauty in our lives vs. the struggles or irritations of daily life. I hope this little diamond view of the burnt sienna rocks brings joy and a sense of calm to all who see this post:)

Hawaiin Dreams

Possibility!

Awakenings peek-a-boo with me from the center of yellow lilies

I feel the balmy breeze rush past my ears and race past my cheeks, bringing a flush to the surface

sitting, sitting, sitting, waiting patiently with my legs crossed like a skilled Yogi

Dolphins splash! and I latch onto a fin, pulled deep into seagreen waters, purified by the wet

January Blues Evokes Energy Warrior

Gray skies, below 20's, snow, snow, snow! Bundled up Mole People turned in on themselves-- scuttling through school corridors, parking lots, and shopping malls.

Slash! Goes the blazing, orange warrior princess energy sword. Zing! Cut through the grey ennui and once again send out dripping, pleasant, yellow, creamy hibiscus dreams!

The Healing Power of Art & Snow Days!

Getting a snow day still excites me as a 29 year old woman! However, instead of rushing into a Chewbacca suit and delving into mounds of snow, I want to simply curl up into a mountain of fleece blanket. Still, my heart beats: "Do something!" Thus, through some journaling, out it comes, "Do art!" I'd been putting off my St. Michael panel for a month! and now was the time. 2 hours later--there it is, hanging next to my door, painted--borders and all. Delighting my soul and that of my guardfish goldfish Porky, who sits right next to my newest creation:)

Morale of the Story: Do art; it feels gooooood!

Today is dedicated to friends who bring out your light!
