love is all around

love is all around

i am a very lucky girl.
i have good people who love me.
all i ever wanted
was this life.
being a mama...
a dream come true.
i've never regretted the direction
this took me.
it still feels like a selfish thing,
to want something different...
to focus more on me.
i know it will be so good...
to put some effort into loving myself.
it makes me smile
when i think of what it will
do to my heart
to find my creative voice.
that girl is in me
because a long time ago
she found happiness
in design and art.
bending silver,
forming clay,
fingers dark from charcoal.
i remember her.

  1. I firmly believe that to be the best we can be for others, we have to look after ourselves. I"m glad you're remembering that girl within you. They are always there, we only need to make the time and quiet to hear them. You always have the loveliest images.

  3. I loved the way you expressed this. The time you make for yourself with bless your family if that time is filled with good things that help your spirit to grow -- I know this is true. The key is balance. You will find it -- that's part of the journey. :) My friend, I hope you post some of your creations -- we have a love of the same things. :)
