Candles

I've been nesting today...and I realized that I haven't lit any candles for such a long time.  How can this be?  Im a candle person!  I love the way they make a house a home.  I vow to start lighting candles again and to soak up the beauty and calmness they bring.  

Hello again!

Hello again!  I havent posted in such a long time!  Here's my thoughts for today :)

Just when you think you cant hope anymore...just when you fear that you may turn bitter and cold...Just when you know you cant believe any longer....Thats when God surprises you and lifts you up and lets you know that everything is going to be okay.   Never give up on him-He's there for you even when you refuse to believe it.   Life is good-it really is.  Everything will be okay :)

Being true to oneself sounds like such an easy thing to do, if only that were the truth.  There is a time for everything, and when that time arrives there is not much you can do except follow your heart, and listen closely.  Ask the questions that need to be asked...

Happy New Year!

This year Im not picking a word or making any resolutions.  This year I will take each day and try to remind myself that life is good.  I will try to focus on my artwork and set small goals, and each time I reach a goal, I will set another...  One day at a time for me...

Wishing us all a balanced, prosperous, and peace filled 2014.  Happy New Year!

I miss

I miss my past... I miss my Mama....I miss my babies....I miss security....I miss being an innocent child....I miss being an unborn baby, safe and warm in the womb with no thoughts or worries or concerns....I miss that feeling of peace....I know that sounds a bit looney...to me too-ha!  But I guess I imagine that I miss that :)

I worry so much, I think it is my nature.  I wish it wasn't.

Just missing tonight...thats all...
