Friday's Blurbs

This hasn't been the best week. Nothing in particular went sour; it's just been sort of a blah week: a definite lack of inspiration. However, I have such a fabulous weekend planned that I simply will not allow the blahness of the week to trickle into the weekend. Tonight is the trolley tour in the South Main Arts District with Brittany and her sister and Sarah. Tomorrow is Into the Woods at Playhouse on the Square. Oh and the farmer's market is Saturday Morning. Not to mention the weather is by my standards, perfect. Also, Sarah is finally living in Memphis so there is pretty much no excuse for me not to be in good spirits.

I've also come across yet another amazing photographer which undoubtedly brings a smile to my soul!

“the things you want are always possible; it is just that the way to get them is not always apparent. the only real obstacle in your path to a fulfilling life is you, and that can be a considerable obstacle because you carry the baggage of insecurities and past experience.”

For Brittany

My lovely friend Brittany commented on how she liked a photo in one of my previous postings. Here are some similar photos that I think she may like as well. Thanks Brittany for being the inspiration for this posting.







These are all by Irene Suchocki. I discovered her brilliant work on Etsy. Where else? Thanks Irene!

You and me

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Used by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 inaugural speech

Staying True

It's time for a bird blog. This one is entirely dedicated to bird artists. I haven't posted anything bird related recently, but my fondness of birds remains steadfast.
