I love creating logos. Truly they might be some of the best things I love designing. Adore these babies. Interesting that when it comes to creating a logo for little ole me = it proves to be most challenging.

So in this New Year of 2014 I have decided to face every fear and slay it down. I love love love the child like nature of me = I am embracing this finally. Hence, this little logo that feels happy, full of hope and joy.

My wish is that I can fill the space in my world with love, joy, unconditional glee.

This tiny little simple logo is my fresh start greeting 2014. Snappy happy me. Grateful to the moon and back to be living this life of mine.

happy mothers day = mom.

oh how i loved ballet

i still twirl my hair. no thumb sucking though.

Today is all about mothers day. I am an only child and I can tell you this ~ I am most grateful for my life. Thanks Mom. I have always been cherished and loved and taken care of. Funny as we get older we appreciate different things about our childhood. I am very very lucky.

I have never had the fortune of having a child. I have had dogs ~ yes, I know they are not kids but, to me they are.

To live each moment knowing you have someone who treasures you and cares for you all of the time ~ yes, that is what I have been blessed with from both of my parents.

My mom has always been strong, pretty, talented, wise, fun, funny, interesting, giving and so very very sweet. I hope that if someone were to describe me I would be lucky enough to have a few of these kind words said.

I love you to the moon and back Mom.  Thanks for being you.

finding joy in the simpleness of being me

so true. it takes time to believe this. i believe.

i found my passion when i was 6 and still believe.

Today I have thought a great deal about my life. Again with the journey my class Hello Soul. Hello Business has me on. I feel like I am waking up from a deep slumber to find really happy good stuff just waiting to say hello to me.

I am so grateful that my entire life I have had the escape, safe place to live in my art. I am just getting how lucky I am to be connected by so many threads to so many beautifully gifted artists in the world.

There are over 300 women in my class from all over the world. I am finding that the common bond between us all is spirit.

Find your spirit. Live it. Love it. No one on the planet has a spirit like yours. You are given gifts, use them, take them and make them yours each day.

Play. Dance. Create. Love. Be.

I am taking tomorrow off from my blog (I think) I am just going to be creating.

being true to me.

adore.

Inspired by this photo I snapped while in Paris this past November at the worlds largest flea market. Where by the way I could live happily ever after. Oh my.

I am in the midst of change, self awareness, mattering more. Creating my world as I have always been so fond of doing. This is my year to actually let folks know I am an artist and I want to be known. I want to help others, I want to inspire others, teach others that it is possible to grow from dark places and find strength that you never knew possible.

Here I go. Please join me on my journey. I promise one thing, you will come out more aware and more grateful for each day.
