Just a little color on a gray day. Hoping your day feels bright, even if the sun isn’t shining 💛

Sometimes the road to healing can be long and winding, but a whole and healed version of you is waiting on the other side. Keep going my friend, you are doing great 💗

Oh, hi there

I saw this quote somewhere, sometime, a while back and it called on me to make it a picture.

How I wish this for whomever needs it.

Much love.
Always 💛

Those small gestures really can make a big difference, even to a stranger. Today is awesome, because you are here. Much love.

Hi friends! Sending you extra love today.

So, I’m not a big Valentine’s person. For most holidays actually, I enjoy simple celebrations. It’s not always been the case though. When my kids were young I would often find myself pushing hard to create memories, which are truly wonderful and such a gift. However it would often make it difficult for me to be present in the moment. The added self imposed duties seemed imperative to being a “good” mom. This was the messaging and subsequent expectations I placed upon myself. As I’ve gotten older, I find myself more focused on celebrating the “ordinary” everyday celebrations that are given, like making space for an extra long meaningful conversation with my sister, or an impromptu lunch with my son, or chatting with my neighbor as we clear snow from our shared walk together. I know, it might seem boring, I get it. I’m not a curmudgeon (at least I don’t think so😊), I love a great celebration and I do still put time and energy into them sometimes. I just try to remember that I can give myself space to do whatever I can and if I can’t, well that’s ok too. And of course what comes from this is the ability to honestly extended this grace to others, because sometimes they just can’t either. Because ultimately it is that grace that is the truest and most loving gift we can extend in these moments which conveys the love that is born in the deepest part of our heart.

On days like today, I can’t help but think of anyone who has experienced loss. For grief, on a day such as this can seer especially deep. So if today is at all hard, please accept this as my Valentine to you. I don’t suspect this will alleviate any grief or sadness, but maybe, just maybe it will help you feel a little less alone. Grief can box us into a room that seems to hold only enough space for one. My hope is that box has room for a little extra comfort and compassion today.

Big hugs.

I just love this quote.

It’s been about 9 years I’ve been working at my little business and I can’t seem to stop painting flowers and finding new ways to make them. In fact, my style is often a bit scattered, but the subject matter still dominates. Sticking strictly to one style has and may always be difficult for me. I’ve kind of made peace with that and just go where I feel led. Flowers however seem to follow me wherever I go. They sure make me happy.

I hope your day finds its way to something that makes you happy too.

These were made with watercolor, gouache, collage and a bit of colored pencil.

Hello friends.

Because sometimes it simply hurts that much to hope, or it’s too dark to find our way

You can be hope to someone having a hard time finding theirs.

You have that much power - you really do
You have that much impact - you really do
You have that much meaning - you really do

It can be an easy thing to forget and a hard thing to remember all the ways we leave our mark on this world.

Sending love.
