Dear August...




It's been a pleasure having you here

Nature so lovely

Heat and sweet corn on the side of the road

visits to used book shops and delicious fish and chips

A new place for sushi and making art

I did struggle in my own mind

too much scrolling and not enough sitting in my own creativity but it's okay

I got it now

Moving forward with more introspection

more offline 

more physical time with paints, books, hobbies, nature

I miss that about PEI

Nature was so beautiful and all around me

Now there's too much noise 

too much stimulation and I like less of that

but I am trying to be grateful because I know too well things can change fast 

things don't last forever

moments in life are passing by fast

slow down

I look forward to September

Going to go nice and slow and with the flow as they say

I enjoy seeing nature change all around me

cooler weather rolling in 

I look forward to each day that God has blessed us with

Dear August thank you for everything 

Peace love and gratitude.

Hello Sunshine! Embracing the Joys of Summer




Happy Summer! I am very excited for summer. Even though I really dislike extreme heat and sun I do love summertime.  I've been working on a few Youtube Shorts Making Artwork. It's been fun. Next week I'm going to try and film a cooking weekly video with all Greek food! Oh my! I truly hope I can pull through this challenge. My family is excited. lol ;) 



I will be uploading the Greek Food video at the end of June. It takes a considerable time and planning to put videos together. I hope I do a good job.
