soul full

yesterday's late afternoon walk around the village /  rose hips / the end of Water St. / Sweet Marie's former gothic top floor apt / my row of big old poplars / from the grassy hill looking back into the harbour / sea wall at the end of Water St. / another of my favourite trees / 29 Black Street bathed in golden setting sunlight / this early morning's snowfall warning view from my studio window

There are years that ask questions,
and years that answer

Zora Neale Hurston

Intuition, trust, faith, honesty, confidence, self worth all combined with a willingness and acceptance that mistakes must be made, failure will indeed happen and become all mixed up with goodness & success is the secret I think to creating not only a soul full life but also for cultivating a soul full creative business - the only kind of business I've ever been interested in having. 

Learning the hard way is learning the fast way. Learning from your mistakes helps you become clear on what you do not want. Knowing what you don't want in life & business ultimately clears the way for discovering what you do want. 

This has been my year of questions. A hard year, one of the hardest I can remember and difficult in so many ways, those difficulties still overshadowing somewhat the many successes and big leaps of growth … I'm looking forward to you 2014 - yeah YOU ! I suspect you are my welcome year of answers. I've learned this year that the light in my heart can't be dimmed by difficulty and that I am living a soul full life. More & more soul full all the time. Thank you for reminding me of those gems Madam Universe. Thank you !

It's madly snowing here - our second N'or Easter (blizzard) in less than a week. We (les Gang) are snug as bugs warm and cozy, all tucked inside this old brick house while the whiteness & winter wonderland whirls & swirls all around us outside ;-)

Beauty is not in the face,
beauty is a light in the heart
