reset...refresh...renew........

it was the moment i decided it was time for a reset in the shop....ever have those kind of moments where one thing leads to another................i needed more display space.....thinking box up & carry out EVERYTHING & start a new......then the idea to paint ........this carport was enclosed a little over thirty years ago......never repainted...never rearranged......................

amazing what a little reset...refresh...renew can not only do for a shop/home..............but..........finding it helps ....spiritually...physically....emotionally....................i had almost lost my joy.....i struggled last year being creative....Mustard Seed...needed a bit of faith to keep being able to create.......

not totally back together yet....but on its way................ya’ll do you need to be refreshed....renewed....& reset....maybe you just need to empty & start again............

.................i am blessed. 💙🕯

blessings....

spending a week with the grands..........

&..........enough time to send some blessings....

................... i am blessed!   💙🕯

this......

simply this.....

......................i am blessed   💙  🕯

begin a new.....

there are moments when our light dims just a bit........

exactly how i have been ....... felt a little like my creative juices .... my ideas .... my motivation ..... had all become just a bit dim......... nothing wrong ....just a little dry spell ....

feeling a bit more revived & ready to share new thoughts ... new ideas ... new passion ...... shall we all gather back together & “begin a new”........

thank you for hanging on for a new beginning .......

............i am blessed 💙🕯

goodbye Momma.....

 goodbyes are never easy......... especially ........ when we know on this side of heaven we will never kiss or hug again ......

but ........ knowing there is a sweet reassurance ..... that someday ...... at heaven’s gate i can run to your arms again ........ how can it possibly be 19 years without you by my side ..... & ......cheering me on !

love & miss you Mom 💙

……………………………………………… i am blessed 💙
