Let it Go

Sometimes we just have to let things go,

trust our intuition and follow our hearts!

This is one in a new series of cards I am working on.

The Journey

Hello!

The new year is upon us, ( it's almost February)! And, I don't know about you, but in the new year, I always tend to move towards new beginnings....

So, Yesterday, while I was walking home, I got to thinking about

New Beginnings

and Old Endings...

There were a lot of endings in 2012....

But, that journey of saying good bye to them leads us to the door of a new journey that we face today...with the key to opening many new adventures.

Does this make sense?

Sometimes things are out of our control, sometimes we experience negative events in life,  that at the time, are unimaginable. But on the bright side,  from every journeys end, I know there is a new beginning to follow. 

So after saying my goodbyes yesterday, and clearing my head, I feel like I can finally say 

Hello! to 2013 and get back on the path and discover my next journey....

After all, 13 is my Lucky Number!

be mine?

It's that time of year again, when LoVe is in the air.

I just Love, LOVE don't you?

and doesn't it feel good to be loved?

Look what I found on my desk yesterday....

totally made my week! Nothing sweeter than true LOVe

so, here's to MORE love in your day!

Just a Little Reminder...

Sticking with LOVE

I have decided to stick with LOVE

hate is too big a burden to bear

Sticking with LOVE is definitely the better option. Wise words from a wise man.

My Silver Lining

Every Cloud has a Silver Lining....we just have to find it!

Some clouds are thicker than others, but somewhere hidden behind the dark and stormy weather is a bright and shiny silver lining just waiting to be discovered!

This is one of a few new prints I am introducing for Spring 2013

Sunday Sketches - Falling in LOVE with YOU

LOVE yourself first, and everything Else falls into place!

I love this quote from Lucille Ball.....and It's a simple fact,  in order to be the best mom, wife, friend, sister, colleague, teacher, artist, student, etc, (you get the point).....we must be able to fall in LOVE.....with OURself! . When we LOVE ourselves unconditionally, it shows, and it becomes that much easier to spread LOVE to others and GIVE love to others.

I am making a plan to LOVE that inner Heather more this year....Nurture, Care and Give myself the permission to LOVE another person, STARTING with ME! How about you....Care to FALL in LOVE with YOU?

Sharing this sketch with Sunday www.bluechairdiaryillustrations.comSketches, too!

Back to the Drawing Board!

Vacation is over and it's time to get back to work! 

One of my favorite things about January is cleaning up and clearing out

 - Out with the Old and in with the new!

I am going to spend today and tomorrow reorganizing and regrouping my studio. I love doing that. It's one way that I can come up with new ideas....how about you?

 What do you do to re energize your creative mind?

The World is Your Oyster

I am always telling my kids little sayings like this.

They think I am nuts! 

I find myself telling my kids the SAME idioms that my parents told me growing up-

The World is Your Oyster

The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side

Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk

You are The Apple of My Eye

A Penny Saved is A Penny Earned

 

I could go on and on,

I bet you even have a few of your own favorites.

 

The World is Your Oyster is one of my favorite idioms.

This is the first in a new series I will be working on in the New Year.

So let's remember, just as the oyster is rich in beauty,

so are each and everyone of our lives.
