I know it seems I’ve been peacefully hibernating, since I’ve been silent for the past several months. But in fact my life has been everything but peaceful. I have been completely consumed by a hectic work schedule, balancing time with family and friends, and finding time for the man I love. It’s been physically draining, emotionally tiring; a completely whirlwind to say the least. At times I’ve felt like I have little to say and no inspiration to call upon. Or maybe it’s the fact that I forget to stop and let myself take in all the beauty and inspiration around me.
This weekend, I was finally able to have a serene peaceful few hours to myself. Over a cup of coffee, I was gazing out my kitchen window and was struck by the beauty of my mother’s Yesterday, Today and Tomorrows (the common name for a beautiful flower bearing plant). I was inspired by the ombre effect of the clusters of it’s lavender, purple and white flowers. As quiet as my morning was, a self service mani was the perfect way to bring these different shades of purple to life.
Coming from a long line of green thumbs in my family, its hard to deny my connection to nature. I’ve learned when inspiration seems out of my reach, I should get back to what I know and what makes me happy… appreciating the beauty of the world around me.
Hello, it feels so good to be back.
Glee’s back! (Yes, I am a Gleek.)
