Ah! How good it feels the hand of an old friend.

Wherever you go, there you are!

I wish I would have kept the big picture in my mind at all times – what it most important? That my kids seek to please God and learn about their Creator.

Friendship needs no reason!

Things that influence me are my kids, their happiness, colorfulness, and vitality. My husband – he comes up with some great quotes and ideas. God – He is the Ultimate artist. And what I see around me – flowers, leaves, trees, birds, fruit, vegetables.

Bloom Where You’re Planted”. – Mary Engelbreit.

The only thing I know for sure about the creative process is it always comes back. Magically. When there are no creative juices and nothing is coming to me – if I wait – it comes!

Don’t ever save anything for a special occasion. Being alive is the special occasion.

Open your heart – open it wide; someone is standing outside.

Walk towards the sunshine, and the shadows will fall behind you.
