Monday Inspirations & Thoughts

Following yesterday's remembrance services/ceremonies, I am taking a few moments today to be grateful and share my thoughts...

I take a moment…
to look at the faces of those I love

I am grateful…
to live in a community committed to compassion
(check out One Naperville)

I am feeling…
so very blessed and grateful for the abundance in my life

I can see…
the tips of some of the trees starting to turn their beautiful fall colors

I am creating…
some new pieces based on ideas that came to me during the One Naperville service yesterday

I am missing…
my beautiful grandmother

I am hoping…
for creative growth in new ways that I haven't even thought of

Illustration Friday – Breezy

Well, I guess I am still in my wistful, hoping for spring mood. Just couldn't help myself when I saw this week's topic. Just want one of those gentle spring breezes...

Illustration Friday – Resolve

I love the topic this week! Resolve - what a great, strong word full of hope. I finished this piece a couple weeks before Christmas, and I don't generally make resolutions. However, I do resolve to be the blessing I want to see in the world in 2009...even if it's some small blessing for someone each day.

Illustration Friday – Seed

I believe that there's always a seed of growth inside of each of us - no matter how bad things get or how lost we feel.
