Send some love out into the world today

Sending love to Paris

Humankind has not woven the web of life

We are but one thread within it

Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves

All things are bound together

All things connect
 

- Chief Seattle 1854

 

A tragic event has rocked our world.  It is time that we gather our thoughts and energies and collectively send love across the world.  Take a moment today and send some love and healing and peace.

Here's what I am finding inspiring today:

1. The art of Katherine Dunn of Apifera Farm.  I'm in love with her style and that she not only paints but also blogs about her life with the animals on her farm.
2. Blue bells. 
   
3. The upcoming on line Doodle class taught by local Seattle artist, Diane Culhane.  I'm all signed up and am really looking forward to it.  I hope you will consider joining me - here's the info to sign up and here's the inspiration:  https://vimeo.com/122874903
4. Rain in the forecast.  I actually do love the rain and that it brings with it cozy indoor studio time.
5. Setting intentions for the day - it works :)

Postcard #2

This is SO Fun!!

Postcard #2 arrived - YAY!  I'm starting to really look forward to the mail pick up on Thursday.

This card is from Cara - visit her blog HERE.

Thanks Cara for the great note.  This is a stone that she found after much looking.  In a photography class she was taking, she had an assignment - Find A Heart.  Doesn't that sound like something we should keep our eyes out for every day?!  What a great idea.  You never know where you might find one. 

I have noticed that if you do keep your eyes open for looking for hearts - they are there.  They show up quite a lot really.

I have seen them in my cereal bowl as a cut strawberry, I have seen them in nature as leaves, stones even shadows. 

What are your found heart stories?
