You are it. You are on your life’s journey. It doesn’t get any better than this- so make the most of it. Each day, each hour, each second, counts for all of eternity. It’s not ‘out there’. It’s right here – in the relationship that you have with the smallest moments of your life. The glance you catch. The color of someone’s tie, the sunlight on water, the feel of your own skin. When you stop and let yourself be struck dumb by the beauty of life as it is, you discover yourself immersed in it, supported by it and loved immeasurably. Your open heart guarantees moments of astonishment, bliss and wonder. These create a path where there is no path. And you may just find a life where there was previously a wasteland.

Blue moon for today's work. I love glitter. I love gold paint. Bedazzling!!!!
Taa-daaa! Finished moon. All glittery and purple and gold...wanted to go with silver, seemed more moonish, but it looked really dead and dull. The gold and the purple bedazzle in just the right amount. And little stars...adorable.
My work in progress moon and a latte moon at Aroma this morning. Inspiration and coffee! Ahhhh....thank you S!
Projects in the works...always love to have Background Knitting going on. It is one of my favorite Acts of Self Kindness!
Another cherry...darker browner reds.
So.....the Popcorn Sun?
Spriiiiiiiiiiiiing!!!!!!!!!!
Queen of Hearts!!! Happy Valentines Day.
Today's work! I think I just invented Therapy Suns...they have been this to me for sure.
