The thing is, I`m leaving in four days for my ART Opening in Quebec city. To be honest, I really don`t have time in my life right now to go there and do this... and I`m realizing that`s a problem. If I can`t make time to honour and celebrate my FIRST SOLO ART SHOW in Quebec city-out of all places, then something is definitely wrong with this picture.

| Here is a snapshot of some of the work that will be there...18 in all! |
I`m learning that I need to breathe more and pause often. I`m learning that good things bring more good things and sometimes you need to stop to enjoy the good things or it just seems like one giant ugly thing with three heads, no matter how pretty it was in the beginning.
So, I`m off again. Thank God Steve is done with his first year of Medical School (Yay Steve!) I can leave and breathe and know that everything will be OK. I believe more than ever that we need to value all of our moments; the big ones the small ones and especially the firsts that happen in Quebec city. I`ll be the girl with the smile on my face, the gratitude in my heart, and the feet planted firmly in the present. I wish I could see you all there. What should you pause to celebrate right now? I`d love to hear about it. xox

It's so important to take the time to relish each and every wonderful thing that comes into our lives. If we don't it all starts to run together and feel overwhelming and horrible. There is nothing worse than letting the wonderful things in life cause us discontent! Take time to breathe and live in the moment of these wonderful things Little One - when you look back on life you will be so glad you took the moment to do so! I am so very proud of you, and cannot wait to hear all about your big show! Have an amazing time!!!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful blog. As a writer and artist also, you inspire me...
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful!! Sounds like you have much to be thankful for :) I just adore your work. I am only a year into my art journey and am I am celebrating my 4th commission since Dec and slowing but surly (and at times a bit slowly) going forward to all of this arty goodness.

Congratulations on all the wonderful things happening in your life right now! I´m so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteI am celebrating the warm summer-days! We haven´t had summer at all for two years, so these days with 20+ degrees are being deeply appreciated! Being able to wear normal clothes, bare arms and even bare-feet in sandals... it´s a tiny bit of heaven for me every single day!
Oh Danielle, I'm so happy for you! Have a wonderful time at your Art Opening in Quebec City! You so deserve this moment! I send you lots of hugs and big congratulations on everything you are working on! All the very best! Paula :)
