If you have a mom, there is nowhere you are likely to go where a prayer has not already been.
~Robert Brault~
Mom, here’s a haiku I wrote for you:
A lifetime of love
from an always open heart
that’s what mothers give
Love you always
Waking to music
Sweet bird song filling the air
A new day awaits
In order to have a real relationship with our creativity, we must take the time and care for it.

The most important thing is to hold on, hold out for your creative life, for your solitude, for your time to be and do, for your very life.
~Clarissa Pinkola Estes~
Every so often the Universe presents me with opportunities I didn’t know I needed. If I would have been asked if I wanted to spend a month living in a house without Internet hookup, even an absolutely fabulous one, I would most likely have said no. But here I am in that very situation. I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss my Mac, however I have been given the gift of time to get back to creating collages, something I absolutely love doing. I’ve also been journaling each morning, writing Haiku, doing more reading, taking more photos, spending more time with our darling dogs, exploring each day with Eddie, my most wonderful husband, and, maybe most importantly, being more present to all of these things. And, here I am, improving my technical skills on this iPhone – no small feat!
If things go wrong, don’t go with them.
~Roger Babson~
It’s helpful to step back and see the bigger picture.
~Richard Carlson~
Note: Today and yesterday’s post and photos are coming from my iPhone. I’m going with the flow rather than getting upset that I can’t work from my computer.
I believe there is a subtle magnetism in nature, which if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright.
~Henry David Thoreau~
When you recover or discover something that nourishes your soul and brings you joy, care enough about yourself to make room for it in your life.
~Jean Shinoda Bolen~
We have forgotten what rocks, plants, and animals still know. We have forgotten how to be – to be still, to be ourselves, to be where life is: HERE AND NOW.
~Eckhart Tolle~
