Welcome September!
Where did the summer go? It’s amazing to me that the COVID months from March to August just flew by with lightning speed. Here we are entering the last four months of the year without knowing what the future will bring for all of us. Here are some thoughts I have about how we can proceed safely into the autumn months.

Some things worth sharing…
The Power Within You
Author: Louise Hays
I bought this book in audio format. I listened to it while walking my dog Max on warm summer evenings. What an inspirational book it is! After listening to each chapter, I realized how important it is for us to keep our power within us. When we give our power away to others, we become victims to life’s circumstances. Let’s keep our power within us and remain strong and independent!
I made hand painted gift wrapping paper + a card!
Lila is a sweet young lady with special needs. I bought her a coloring book for her birthday.
To give it a special look, I made my own wrapping paper from a newspaper print (purchased at Lowell’s) and drew large flowers using colored markers. The bright yellow ribbon helped to brighten the package. Lilly loved the gift!
I had fun painting this sweet picture!
I used watercolor gouache to paint this picture and was surprised at how bright the flowers came out. I’m always drawn to painting little girls with their dogs. I guess it’s because I love dogs so much. They are the sweetest, most unselfish friends we can ever have. This painting will keep me feeling bright even in the gloomy winter months.
I’m sharing this painting to encourage the students who took my watercolor workshops to keep on with their painting practices. Keep showing up and let your creative energy flow!
