Things I Have Learned ...

Photography by Kristine

Things I have learned over the years …

Going back to basics brings clarity

Believe in yourself

At times, you need to stand alone

Stand up for those who do not have a voice

Water intake is so essential

Magnesium calms the body

Listening to your intuition never fails

Let things go, they just weigh you down

Reading is a wonderful way to end the day

Pay attention to what your body is telling you

Time is the best gift that can be given

Moderation is key

Photography captures the moments that may have been lost

Silence reveals the answers you are search of

Nature is the best medicine

Choose your battles wisely

Listen to the voices of experience

Be a note taker when learning new things

Never stop dreaming

Be grateful for the small things
Good people share their knowledge
Never take anyone for granted

Tomorrow will always be better

A good night sleep makes a world of difference

Try to have something to look forward to

It all comes down to choice

Be Kind!

What has the past years taught you?

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?
