What treasures do you wish for?

wish here

Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness.

Know how to give without hesitation,

how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness.

~ George Sand

I wish to treasure... the true beauty of life!

***

Life is a journey, which should not be wasted.

There is no room for destructive behavior, 

leaving wounds that can not heal.

With many a set back, it is harder to bear...

 finding love that will help us to care.

***

I treasure most...

love, trust, family, and friendship.

These above all, should not be taken for granted;

but honored for their true essence. 

Together when sharing such beautiful treasures...

only then, will we find true peace of body, soul, and mind!

How I wish... 

to live with such treasures in my life.

TODAY

TOMORROW

ALWAYS 

What wishful treasures do you hold?

AEDM- countdown

Yes...

This project has almost come to an end, sadly to say!

I have enjoyed the "create art" daily process, tremendously.

It has been a growing experience for me...

and a healing process as well.

***

To be honest with you...

I have had a horrible month!

 physically, emotionally, mentally, and have been violated in every possible way. 

Above all, verbally abused by my own adult children!

***

I would have rather crawled under a rock, 

and 

stayed there... till the issues I am dealing with had passed.

***

But...

creating art everyday, 

something... anything... helped!

To make something "artsy" made me smile.

I couldn't crawl into bed, hide under the sheets...

I needed to get into my art studio, 

and 

be countable for creating art everyday!

teacup-pattern

 I dusted the inside of the teacup with glitter...

so pretty!

I don't think I am finished painting this teacup.

I am thinking about adding some doodles along the rim.

** ART HEALS... yes it does! **

ATC

sneak peek anyone...?

I also, have been working on these ATC's 

for the month of November -art every day-.

Only 1 more day to go!!!

Have a wonderful Tuesday! 

It's That Time of The Season...

* Ornaments *

We all have them stored away...

waiting to be pulled out for the holiday season.

 ***

Some are very sentimental.

We have treasured them

 for what great memories they hold.

We pull them out of the closet, garage, or attic

ready to decorate the tree.

The handmade ones are priceless! 

The ones created by our children, during the holidays...

they are so proud of them, and so are we!

Perhaps...

A few hold a memory of a special place you visited.

An awareness ribbon in hung as a symbol 

of our support, awareness, or triumph.

Some place a star at the top of the tree

 representing the Star of Bethlehem.

Yes...

our ornaments hold a special meaning to us all.

Which is why, I was inspired to create this one. 

I wish to share it with you.

What do you wish to remember?

wish here

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

~ Mother Teresa

source

I wish to remember...
 to not place judgement on others.
***
There is nothing more painful than to be misunderstood.
 To spend a lifetime defending yourself, would be a waste.
***
 We are who we are, because of our choices;
the roads that have lead us to where we are now.
No one needs to condemn us for it.
Part of letting go, is moving on.
We do not need others, reminding us of our mistakes.
***
I wish to remember...
to remain compassionate towards others.

source

Take a walk in my shoes for a little while 

and see where I've been,

 and where I come from; 

Then maybe you will understand 

what it means to be me.

***

I wish

I could take the time and walk in everyone's shoes...

Since that is impossible, 

I will take the time to love more!
