Stand out

Life is too short....

....to blend in.

Stand Out.

A New Door

Today is a day that may hold fairly large changes for my two oldest children, as both of them are heading off into new adventures in the way of learning.
I'm dealing with mixed emotions...
one has an entrance exam for college, 
and the other has an interview with a school in the city.


I have home schooled all four since day one. 
It's been an amazing adventure.
Now....I feel as though as though all my work with them is about to be tested.
All the hours and years of pouring into them is coming to a type of reveal, and maybe.... a completion.

This is a day to see what lies behind the next door.
A chapter coming to a sort of end~~ an new one about to start.


I'm feeling butterflies.
And it's bittersweet.

Temporary Art

Amazing snow sculptures I came across this weekend at 

a college campus.

I cannot believe the work that went into these, 

the time and patience.

I'm truly impressed that someone has such a skill for this.

Our talents in this world are so varied and can be so original.

Each of us have been given some sort of talent...whether realized yet or waiting to be discovered.

{The trick is finding it, and then putting it to use.}

Doing what we love and were created to do, 

is what brings a peace and contentment.

How much time do we spend in our lives,

 on things that, in the long run- 

 don't matter?

The Exchange

What you do today is really important.


You are exchanging a day of your life for it.

on "perfectionism".....

Note to self:
Not everything has to be perfect and aligned and in order....
to be beautiful.
