DIY Signs ~ A New Place in Town
Signs are a great way to convey love or a message of encouragement in your home. I’ve always loved taking something old and repurposing it such as the sign below in which was simply a rusted oval. I created something new when I added letters and a rose embellishment. As well, I love signs big and small throughout my home to communicate something special or serve as a reminder. See below just a few signs I have in my room. If you’re in Orange County, California, specifically Lake Forest, where I happen to live, and you enjoy DIY, you may want to check out Board and Brush Creative Studio. Before…

Each Day a Gift
Today I turn 50. Yes, five decades. I celebrate life for a half of a century! Where has the time gone? Often birthdays help us reflect back on our life and help us set goals. These last fifty years have held amazing joys, triumphs, adventures as well as mountains, challenges and pain. Each of these things, good and tough, have mold me into who I am and have taught me lessons that are so rich. I want to thank God for fifty years and the many blessings I have in my life. I also want to thank each of you for the part you’ve played. Each of you have loved…

The Real You – In Art
While I’ve been healing, I’ve been going through Melody Ross’ course called The Walk. It has been amazing to help walk through some things that might get us stuck in life or to creatively put truth down on paper so that you can be reminded of what to listen to . . . the Truth. We all need that reminder sometimes. I’ve spent some time drawing, sketching, etc. while also pondering. One of the exercises is to journal what we know about ourselves. See images below of my page which folds out of a book that Melody encourages us to create. There are maps which help us walk through things…

The Walk – A Special Journey and Course
On The Walk of life it really does make a difference what paths we choose, what we take with us, what we leave behind, who we take with us, what we tell ourselves as we travel and more. I’ve been off for about three weeks with some foot surgery and my time is wrapping up before I head back to work. I haven’t fully recuperated but enough to go back to work. After healing for a couple weeks, I chose to go through Melody Ross’ course, ‘The Walk.’ I had gone through the videos before which are awesome but didn’t take the time to do the course work. It’s one…

Soul Words ~ A Quick Healthy Soul Exercise
Working full-time I realize I need to get some Soul Nourishment in before my day starts because once I get to work it’s 0 – 60 in no time flat. My day gets going at a busy pace so making sure I take a break some days is a necessity. That brings me to a soul nourishing exercise that is quick, easy and refreshing. The Exercise: In the image below I’ve listed some soul words. Simply take a planner (your current one or an old one), journal, or even a sheet of paper and say the word out loud. Write the word on your paper and then ponder what that…

Off My Feet for a While
Hello all, I’m taking a bit of a break (no pun intended) for some ankle surgery. I’ll be off my feet for the next couple weeks. Thank you for all the ways you enrich my life. Just a thought I’d like to leave you with because you are special and unique . . . Warmest creative wishes,
