With a Grateful Heart

...and an astonished mind!

Greetings and best wishes for a most wonderful Thanksgiving to you all!  SO much to share -- so much gratitude for all of the wonderments that comprise this wonderful, wild, wacky Life of mine!  

I hope that the Thanksgiving holiday allows you time to reflect on all of the blessings that make your Life wonderful and wild in its own right.  I am taking advantage of the long weekend to unplug, and bask in the glow of one of my most treasured blessings:  the company of The Man.  We are long overdue for some quality time, and I am very excited that we are going to get it!  

Enjoy the things that make you happy, and count your blessings.  I will see you, here in my little 'nook on the net' for some serious catching up soon!

Onward & Upward!

Words of wisdom for today:

Every woman should develop
the kinds of bonds
that will allow her to know
she has someone she can count on.
Someone who will give her
the best advice,
even if it is unpleasant.
Someone who will expect
the most from her...
and someone with whom
she can celebrate life.
                      — Maya Angelou

Getting Unplugged...

SO...  After a week of unprecedented blogging, I am leaving you *told you that wouldn't be the 'new normal'- ha!*  However, I will still be blogging!  Oh, yes, I can hear the head scratching!?  "Huh?"

I am joining the Pilot 'Power to the Pen' movement!

It is my fervent hope that my efforts will also yield sufficient material for my return to The Sketchbook Project.  I have registered for the new program, designed around targeted tours.  The "Fill Me With..." project is slated to go on the road in late August/early September of this year, with "tour stops" in Memphis, TN (08/29/2013), St. Louis, MO (08/30/2013), and Indianapolis, IN (09/01/2013).  

I previously participated in The Sketchbook Project 2012 with a group of Guild pals.  My contribution was subsequently selected for the inaugural installation of the mini-mobile tours in the "A Landmark & A Mission" tour that visited Pittsburgh, PA (11/16/2012),  Ann Arbor, MI (11/17/2012), and Cleveland, OH (11/18/20012). 

So...  Enjoy all the beauty life has to offer, and I'll 'see' you here in about a week -- with loads of cool share-worthy bits :)

Onward & Upward!
