Gratitude.
Often
it takes
intention.
On purpose,
hunting for
what is
beautiful,
wonderful,
helpful,
nourishing,
fun,
intimate.
Mundane,
everyday,
normal,
ordinary,
can
become
a
treasure.
Really. It can.
Sacred.
Moments.
What do you want to remember?
What matters?
What moments do you not want to miss?
To catch in your net,
and look closely and see the beauty up close?
My camera has become a tool
that helps me capture
gratitude,
honor,
the sacred.
My art helps me remember
those things I don't want to forget.
I am working on a series of workshops.
I can hardly stand not to tell all about it!
But I want you to know that it is coming.
And this is the theme ~ gratitude and wonder in everyday life.
It will involve
your camera,
a taste of art,
and a big dose of heart.

ReplyDeleteIt is true that there are simple pleasures and hidden treasures everywhere around. I am trusting God for a camera. I hope to get one soon so that I can take your seminar! It's great getting to know you...Looking forward to being in the same small group with you at SDG...

ReplyDeleteJodi (with an 'i') hello from Jody (with a 'y'). I'm so glad we've been linked up via SDG Small Groups and want to visit more.....This was a delightful post. Made me smile from ear to ear.
ReplyDeleteHi Jodene! We're in the same group under Kim in SDG, so looking forward to getting to know you better! "On purpose" you said, and I agree that we should intentionally look closer for things to be grateful for! Instead of taking things for granted! Blessings! Patsy from
