Monday morning mandala . . .

I love (almost) daily lake Ontario beach walks . . . It doesn't matter that the chosen spot to begin and end the walk is usually the same . . . there is a sense of serenity in the routine. The walking * taking in the fresh air and breeze * the birds and at this time of the year the Monarchs are here enjoying the milkweed * noticing the tides * and the treasures . . . the stones, driftwood and beach glass (mermaids tears) . Be it early morning, mid morning, or late afternoon - being able to slip in a walk beside the water, shoes off, toes sinking in the sand is pure bliss. I find peacefulness whenever I am near the water and for me it is the perfect open space to clear my head. I have taken many thoughts/questions down to the waters edge with me and almost always, I find the answer.

A little journaling .... getting my thoughts and ideas down on paper . . . these few days in the month of June have already been productive and filled with new and exciting projects. I am needing to keep track of it all. I haven't said YES to every offer/proposal but the ones I have I am very excited about. This coming weekend I begin a huge project that I am looking forward to sharing here, on IG and FB, with Painting in Process posts!

"Every now and again,

you will feel a dull ache

in your soul.

A gentle humming

around your heart.

A longing for something

without a name.

If I ever told you

to obey anything,

this would be it.

Listen to the call

of your authentic self;
