Last year my mom found this large frame at a garage sale and bought it for me. I knew instantly that I wanted to turn it into a chalkboard canvas for my wall. See my step by step tutorial here.

It was inspired by the fact that my oldest son had just graduated from high school and we were preparing for his departure to college.  As you can imagine, it was a bittersweet day when he left and started this exciting life chapter…

Word of the Month ~ August 2013
 
 
…light

Definition:   a particular illumination, something that enlightens or informs


As we all know, there are several definitions of the word “light” depending on the context in which you are using it. For this post, I have chosen the above photo of myself, at the ocean, illuminated by the setting sun over the beautiful calm sea. In this particular moment, I felt enlightened and oh-so-happy. Happy to be enjoying a family vacation, happy to be at the beach, happy to be able to appreciate this incredible sunset…just light and happy. I hope that you are able to find, and appreciate the light moments in life. Summer is the perfect time to slow down, sit outside and enjoy a cool drink in the shade, take the time to feel happy and enlightened.


…a year of tranquility
