Hello, hello - welcome to my creative world.
how are you today? I feel a sense of peace today (like a comforting exhale) because I have allowed myself some much needed time and space for contemplation.

do you ever afford yourself this opportunity - simply to create time & space to thoughtfully observe or consider your purpose & intention? I particularly appreciate the Ecclesiastical term: spiritual meditation; concentration of the mind and soul upon God. Sometimes in the process of doing so we encounter discomfort, fear, and anxiety, and that may cause us to want to stop. When we push thru, however, the result is clarity which brings us joy - how beautiful is that?
I have felt a relative sense of clarity with the artwork I am creating, and the purpose & intention it fulfills. I LOVE what I do, and it's FUN!
What I have been questioning and contemplating is the purpose and intention of my blog (I feel an underlying desire to give you something more -)
When I first began my blog, I wanted it to be a place where we create, cultivate and communicate about all things beautiful (more than pretty rooms & pretty art). Just as Edgar Allen Poe tells us, the contemplation of the beautiful brings us "the pleasure of which is at once the most pure, the
most elevating and the most intense." That's pretty cool, don't you think? I want to feel that, do you?
So, with that, I am coming back to the foundation of what I started this blog for in the first place: to create, cultivate & communicate about all things beautiful (something more than pretty rooms, or a latest product launch - although those may be sprinkled in now & again).
I will share with you pieces of my heart, my journey, my story, and give you the opportunity and the tools to discover pieces of your heart, your unique beauty, beloved spirit and unlimited possibilities.
It is my desire to journey together with you to contemplate the beautiful - in spirit, and in life! You are invited, will you join me? Feel free to invite a friend, because we all know where two or more are gathered it's always more fun.
May miracles bloom in your garden today.
xoxo
Terri
Sounds lovely! I look forward to the journey.
