and popping in for a moment. Crazy, busy day.


Wanted to post this cool quote sent to me by Sam:

Embrace this right now life……take your bites with bravery and boldness since the learning and the growing are here in these times, these exact right nows.  Capture these times.  Hold and kiss them because it will soon be very different.
Jill Scott


In her email Sam wrote, "Oddly enough, I found this quote on my Starbucks coffee the day I was dropping my youngest to school for the first time.  I was feeling really lost walking away and kind of directionless....so used to having to do something for my kids at all times, having someone with me, on my leg, in my arms, talking a mile a minute etc.  I went to get a coffee, and there it was.....can't say that was the first time I was inspired by coffee!  I feel much better about changing my direction since my out-of-coffee experience. I did a page about it, which also helped me focus."


Gotta love the way inspiration comes in so many different forms. And gotta love the process. A good reminder to me when I get a little nutty about my life and work and family and on and on.


Thanks so much Sam :)

    Great timing on the quote! Funny how just the right quote can speak to so many people in such individual ways. I signed up for the Sunday Art House class while I'm visiting Portland in October (turned out it was the same weekend we were travelling there after visiting family in San Francisco). I just thought, "Why not? Seize the opportunity!" Channeling some Jill Scott, I guess.:) Looking forward to meeting you!

    Hi there! I'm a wee little digital scrapper who loves your blog and general outlook. I just found out that I'm going to be a TA at CKU-KC and am so thrilled to have the chance to be amongst the excitement of the event. I feel like a groupie of the groupies, lol!

    Hi Ali,
    Thanks for sharing the quote - can be applied at any stage in life.
    Looking forward to seeing you the 27th at the expo.
    I need to call Art House tomorrow to see if there are any spots left in your class. I'll be in Portland that weekend.
