sometimes....

we get second chances.

and what a blessing they are.

Etsy My Dear....

Finally....I stopped procrastinating. I stopped judging my work and thinking that I had nothing to share. I took a leap of faith and posted some of my card designs and have them UP FOR SALE at my new etsy shop, Sweet Cheeks.

I hope to bring a little extra joy and happiness to your life. To inspire you to dance in the woods, pour glitter in the wind, delight in all the beauty, and to just be love.

an owl's wisdom

My Daddy's initials were O.W.L. Oliver Wayne Lammon. Today marks one year and eight months since he killed himself. He and I were oh so close, the best of friends. One of the hardest parts that I continue to struggle with every day is not being able to pick up the phone and ask his advice. So, lately I've been asking the universe, asking my Dad to please show me a sign. Let me know he's still with me in spirit. And, I've been overwhelmed with all of the Owl images everywhere. On binders, in clay, in my horoscope above and in Pixie's Owl Card.

As I light my candles and remember a life with my Dad, I pray for the wisdom to learn all my lessons and the patience to listen to my instincts as they guide me to find how his death fits into my life's purpose.

crossroads

of course....we would have this huge wonderfully life changing event, our marriage, and now be faced with BIG life decisions.

it would be oh so nice to connect with other readers who are in my same boat.

graduate school? is it fair for me to move my new husband and myself to a not nearly as wonderful town just so i can learn something that makes me move?
something that speaks to my soul?

after all the tough work on our business plan for the boutique, the economy and the universe have told us that the money is just not here right now. not that it won't ever come into fruition, but that right now...it's not the time.

and the voices inside me keep saying...now is the time for me to learn to do something well. to really embrace the artist inside me.
