PagesBlogThe GirlThe GoldenContact Tuesday, October 29, 2013 Finding moreLike the crashing waves of lake superior... I feel huge waves of gratitude swelling up inside me and spill over onto the rocks of this fricking amazing thing called life.
I spent a weekend with my 2 loves at our favorite place on the Gunflint Trail. Coming home was hard. Hard because of my husband's work schedule, our time together is just too precious.I hated to see it end. I felt like a kid who doesn't want Christmas to be over.The love of family gathering at Christmas is one of my favorite childhood memories, I was always sad when the holiday was over. Gratitude became crystal clear when I made time and space for it.
Clutter clearing... time away.
The north shore and north woods have a way of soothing the soul. It moves me. Captivates me... and draws me in.
This is my getaway. This is my place of peace. Where the blue water meets the blue sky.
The distractions melt away. The stress melts away... and all I can see is beauty all around me. It washes over and through me. This is heaven here on earth. I can't get enough of it. Even just looking at the pictures brings me to tears. It's home.
Inspiring. Beautiful. Magical. There is so much beauty here. So, so much. I see with new eyes. The sounds are magnified and so close. And my heart opens up wide. Here is a peek into the woods (and water) I love so much...
Time to stop, time to slow down, shut off the distractions and let in the light! Time to drift into our own thoughts.
Dream dreams. Remember why we are here. Stop and realize our life here is so precious. SO important. My hope and prayer is that everyone would find their place of magic, inspiration and joy and the time and space to find gratitude and beauty. Because you deserve it. Believe it.
This beautiful world is calling you... to find her-find it, and find yourself while your there.
Go...

We cooked, shopped, talked, drank coffee, shared secrets, watched chick flicks....and relaxed. What a great weekend! I feel so blessed to work with such amazing girls... here's a peek into the fun from our view on Lake Pepin! I am loving all these fall colors! What are you doing to get out there and enjoy fall? Maybe you need a girls (or guys) weekend with your friends!?

Unfortunately with the digital world we live in I have not kept up on all my printing of photos. Do you have this same problem!? Even some of the most organized people I know don't have their pictures in print! I really can't imagine how I will be able to keep up with it all when I have kids! Yikes! I have given up on scrap booking completely! I realized I don't love scrap booking like I love other things like painting, and illustrating, and taking pictures and cooking... AND guess what? There are only so many hours in the day! It's hard to make time do do the things I love let alone things I just feel obligated to do.. so people... let me tell you something... Do what you love... and Love what you do. Don't waste time on hobbies, activities or people that don't light you up!
My goal for the end of the year is to get all caught up on my photos! Shutterfly has a free book deal going on until tomorrow! I decided to make a book of all my recent paintings! One of my big ones that sold this year I never got a good picture of it!How sad! Take my advice... Keep up on it so it doesn't become ONE huge task! BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY.... Make it easy and fun! For me Just slipping my photos in a "old fashion" photo album is AWESOME AND PERFECT! And making books like this one on Shutterfly are fun and easy! YEA!
