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.

As best as I can

Hi everyone! I just noticed that Amazon is offering my gratitude journal for $1.19! This is a real steal! If you’re looking for something special for a teacher, friend, young adult, or teen, this is a nice little journal to give as a gift.

It is bilingual - Spanish/English and designed to be used for just 3-5 minutes a day to encourage a practice of gratitude. Gratitude is proven to help with wellbeing and writing your worries down helps you to actually “put them down” and out of your mind for a time. So this journal is a tool you can use to build a new habit and experience a different outcome. The secret sauce is all in the consistency which is why I chose to keep to under 5 minutes.

This journal is usually $11.00 is soft cover, contains encouraging quotes and room for you to journal a l it every day. I was blown away at the price and just had to share 😊

Grateful for you!

Link if you are interested. Not sure how long it will last. Limit 4 per person

Just sharing a little reminder to myself to try not to move too fast throughout my day, in my mind and in my interactions so I can see those people (or situations) around me that might otherwise be missed. Slowing down can be hard to do, but I don’t want to gloss past the people or circumstances on my path that are needing care and attention. With the holiday season knocking at the door, I so hope the little details don’t overshadow big (often quiet and unassuming) opportunities that come my way💛

When I’ve been in my hardest and lowest moments, I lean on this manageable advice. “Do your best to just take it a day at a time, or an hour at a time and in some cases a minute at a time.” When stress is most heightened, I often find my thoughts speeding up, so this little encouragement has always helped me to remember to just focus on the thing in front of me and take the next best step.

It won’t be cloudy forever, I promise.

I’m thinking it’s possibly a good place to start.💛

I know you know, but hey, a reminder never hurts. Much love
