Catching Up With An Old Friend

 

 

Spring at Duke Gardens

Sitting in front of the blank screen tonight feels something like meeting a friend I haven’t seen in a long time for coffee.  Very familiar, and happy to be face to face … and knowing that after the initial catching up, it will be just like old times.

I have so missed writing.  I’ve stepped to the screen so many times, and each time, something happens … time, technology, geography … planetary alignment, solar flares … the list goes on … always something … and just like coffee with an old friend, I step in thinking that I have to catch up on absolutely everything in 10 minutes.

Tonight I give myself permission to say, “No, Jane, you don’t … just stop by for a chat.  Give and receive a warm hug, and let go of expectations.”  And so I will.

The gallery and studio are open, and they are wonderful … bigger than dreams come true.  Being close to my son, my sisters, my parents, is an amazing gift.  I am so grateful to be in a space that allows me to meet and share a path with such beautiful people every single day … clients, family, and new friends.

Sorry about the delayed springtime for those of you in Virginia, but God knew I needed a couple of snowfalls before moving into the next season.  The snow was simply beautiful, and now we can move on to warm sunshine and tulips!

Staying with our wishes and dreams, and giving them the space they need to come to life and take shape takes time.  Now my days pass quickly, and they melt into weeks.  Each day brings fresh ideas, new wishes and dreams … and at the same time, absolute center, gratitude, and knowing that all is well, all is absolutely perfect this moment, for me … and for you.

And so it is …

With love, gratitude, and wishes for a heart full of peace,
