i just finished a 1:1 call with a lovely new client. we are working together in Photoshop.
.
i can’t stop smiling because at the end of the call she told me she’s almost 80.
i never would have guessed that.
so amazing.
so inspring.
.
this time is her way to keep busy and keep her mind active on something other than this upside down time.
.
beautiful.
.
she also shared she has a group of friends that she can’t wait to see again and share what’s she’s learning. they call their club the i-Babes.
.
.
how amazing is that!!!
.
.
.
sending love and light to all of you …
be well.

that time @prairiegirlstudio and I planned a creative-immersion weekend here in the studio
♡
Little did we know what a privilege that was.
.
So many gifts. Grateful.
.
Thought ...
for those of us who can carry on during this upside down time.
.
What if we thought of isolation as an immersion into what we love, enjoy or have always wanted to learn.

this gift of light and calm was waiting for me in the studio this morning.
an invitation to take a breath and be still.
.
i was thinking how blessed i am to have this magical light.
and
how that’s not the case for all of us.
.
over on my blog I have a new collection of textures and light overlays waiting for you. along with a few tutorials on how to use them.
.
if your light is low… or your heart is feeling heavy… this might just give you a little lift.
I’ll pop the pics and link in my stories too. .
.
and these words are beautiful too.

Go forth, my beautiful friend.
.
Take pictures, make art
write gratitude
.
pray hard
look for the light.
.
Say I love you LOTS.
.
phone a friend, write a love letter.
.
cry, laugh, be still
.
and check-in with yourself LOTS.
.
repeat
.
.
.
I love you

this guy was first a thought.
.
i was watching the Ellen Show and Justin Timberlake was a guest. he had a golden doodle. right then and there I said ‘i want a golden doodle’
fast forward a year later
an email landed in my inbox.
it was a group mail from my cousin in Winnipeg.
‘guys I’m looking for a home for my golden doodle Bear. I’m at work all day and he’s slowly destroying the house. I love him so much but I can’t give him what he needs.’
my first thought was absolutely not.
we’d lost our beagle andy a few months before and getting a new dog seemed like a betrayal.
but…i kept thinking of ‘Bear’, and my golden doodle dream and couldn’t let it go.
.
Me: ‘John, Tamara’s looking for a home for her golden doodle and you know I said someday I want a golden doodle.’
john: ‘does he shed? me: ‘i’ll check with tamara.’
.
i sent an email off to tamara and asked her if ‘bear’ shed.
T: ‘a little, but not a lot.’
.
me: ‘Ok, so she said he doesn’t shed a lot.’
john: ‘what does that mean.’
me: ‘i’m sure he barely sheds. he’s a golden doodle.’
.
I sent an email off and Tamara said she wasn’t sure what to do. She didn’t want to give him up.
a few days later another email.
Ok, I think I’m ready.
I asked for a trial.
she agreed.
.
.
a few days later we met my cousin at a gas station on the WINDIEST DAY EVERY.
as we pulled up, she opened the car door and out came ‘bear’.
fur flying EVERYWHERE.
.
John: ‘i thought he didn’t shed.’
me: ‘he sure is cute.’
.
.
It was love at first site.
All the habits he’d picked up home alone …. NON-EXISTENT.
All he needed was company 24/7
:)
And he’s had that ever since.
We never leave him alone.
thanks to my parents, the boys, me working from home…. we’re able to make it work.
.
.
this boy was first a thought.
this boy saved my life.
.
this is Ben.
(our very golden-y doodle that looks more like a lab cause we keep his coat groomed)
p.s.
thanks to a change in food he barely sheds.
Amazing. .
What might you dare to think…then watch it unfold this year?
