Heart Monday ... Hope Monday ...


It is the beginning of a new week ~ I am wishing that Heart Monday will symbolize "Hope"...

Hope for my family and friends that are struggling ~ Hope that my Dad continues to recover from his recent surgery ~ Hope that a New Year brings new opportunities for all the people that I love ... Hope for a happiness ...

This photo above is of a "Heart" Card that is visible in my office ... I purchased it along with a few other "heart gifts"I had sent to a dear friend for her birthday. I loved the simple stitching, with white polka dots ...

When was the last time you bought yourself something you liked?

    Kristine,I hope your Dad gets well soon! You are so kind,thinking of others, and I know your friend is thankful beyond words for those "heart" gifts for her birthday, lol! They are cherished! I love the card in this photo, it's gorgeous!
    The last time I bought something I liked was when I was in the US. I had the opportunity to purchase not only the things that don't sell here, but also things that I simply wanted to have; I guess a spoiled my self a bit, and it's a good feeling. :)

      Sonja - Yes, "My Friend" has thanked me many times for the "Heart" gifts - LOL - So glad you spoiled yourself - You really "needed" all those wonderful supplies to make us all those beautiful creations - But things you "wanted" were a real treat - I should be receiving my Sizzix today - I will let you know ...

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...

All about Hope ...

I thought this image was appropriate for how I am feeling today. I seemed to have gotten a second wind with being creative this year. I am excited to tell you about my new treasure in writing. It is a newfound website (that I found in a column in Oprah's Nov 2011 magazine) called 750Words.com. This site follows the steps of Julia Cameron's The Artists Way. It helps you work towards a better writing style. It encourages you to write 750 words a day. This is approximately 3 typewritten pages of words. I am finding it easier to pick a theme (from Patti Digh's LIFE IS A VERB book - Thanks, Patti!) to help create daily themes. Please cheer me on to continue this daily ritual.  Have you started a new routine that you would like to share?
