Week 30 - She Stood Tall

7/29/2018

0 Comments

 
Week 31 led me to a colorful, proud, little giraffe entitled: She Stood Tall.
Picture
She Stood Tall

In good times, 
and during challenging ones,
She Stood Tall.


When she soared,
and succeeded greatly,
She Stood Tall.


When she fell,
and needed help,
She Stood Tall.


In her pride,
and through her fears,
She Stood Tall.

​
Mistake, after mistake,
and in her vulnerability,
She Stood Tall.

Whether in the spotlight, 
or with not a soul around,
She Stood Tall.

Even when others
tried to tear her down,
She Stood Tall.

She Stood Tall because
she was grounded in love,
​and in the belief of her worthiness.

She Stood Tall because
she decided to simply be herself.

Week 29 - Earth's Infinite Bounty

7/22/2018

0 Comments

 
This week's piece feels different than most of my others collages. I started this one, without any idea of how I wanted the end product to look. I just started cutting, arranging and adhering. Sometimes, that's the way I operate...but more often than not, I have a rough plan in place.

I am really enjoying how it ended up. It feels serene, tranquil and flowing - kind of like how I feel when I take the time to get out and notice nature. 
Picture
​It is entitled Earth's Infinite Bounty in honor of all the all the natural diversity and beauty of our wonderful planet. I see so much of earth's artistry in this piece, including:
Sun
Flowers
Growth
Sea
Sand
Hills
Sky
a Horizon
Reflections
and I even see
the Infinity Symbol.

​What do you see?

Balancing Act - Week 28

7/14/2018

Week 28's artwork is a wonky little bird with a whole lot of craziness going on!
Picture
Balancing Act
 Life is a balancing act.
 
A lot.
All at once.
Coming together, as life.
 
Fast-paced,
Applying brakes.
Turning left,
Swerving right.
Managing expectations.
Knowing what is right.
 
Juggling.
Prioritizing.
Choosing.
Letting go.
Creating, your life.
 
Your way.
 
Authentically.
With foibles and baubles.
And intention.
 
It is precious and beautiful.
And wonky.
 
Life is
an amazing, courageous
balancing act.
Make it a HAPPY Day!
