Out with the New - In with the Old

My new mantra for the season. I'm going to type fast as my brain is beginning to shut down for what feels like a long winter's nap. Stay tuned for new/old pictures to come....

Too many irons in the fire?

This seems to be a common feeling these days..Every where I turn, there's a new opportunity waiting to pounce. Am I attracting this or is someone trying to tell me something? And whose fault is it really? I know...I know...I know. Now that my husband and I are empty nesters,  it seems that my time is filling to the brim and then some. I had an unexpected meeting, somewhat,this morning with a group of  young entrepreneurs from Bainbridge, GA. They were doing a presentation on a NEW product and so I sat and listened while my A.D.D. mind started racing as I got so enthused, knowing good and well that I had as much on my plate, like a "hungry man's at the dinner table." All I could imagine was how I was

going to approach my husband with this new and exciting product; who by the way already thinks I'm a lot A.D.D. and insane for the most part with my creative notions. Well after the meeting,I began to wait on customers in The Bus Station. I began looking around to see all the ideas that WERE and still ARE exciting to me...

Gratitude! Gratitude! Gratitude

My Faith sustains me (most of the time).If it doesn't, it's my own fault.

Fueling Our Passion...

"When we are living a healed life, we have holy outlets for these passions. These passions become the fuel for our creativity. our energy, our drive and our determination.  They equip us to do mighty things, things that bless us and our families and bring other people closer to God." ~ Kristin Armstrong, Work In Progress.

For I KNOW...

"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a Hope." Jeremiah 29:14

What a day to reflect on this exciting scripture as I savor the words and truly BELIEVE in what is being promised...Have a blessed day and  WHEN times seem difficult, remember the KNOWING!

New Beginnings all Over the Place..Now What?

This is a preview of my new beginnings...Can't you tell?

It seems this season is full of new beginnings for me, my family, my business, my new place of worship, my new "empty nest" at home and the list goes on and on...I know it's not all about me but it does affect the way I plan my days, weeks, weekends, evenings and so forth. I love the thought of living in the moment and for the most part I do but my weekly work schedule will take me back to The Bus Station in Colquitt, GA http://www.thebusstationgallery.blogspot.com/ with fresh ideas, new design and lots of lovin' to finish out the third and fourth quarters of 2010.  Now if you take a look at my house at the moment, you may be able to tell that there's not been a whole lot of attention from the "domestic diva fairy" that sometimes stops by our home. Here are a few shots for you to see how a "stay at home for the summer designer in between vacations, two daughters starting college, son fininshing law school (living with us the month of July), daughter starting new job after graduation, attending longest yard sale on 127 corridor, trip to China, and anything else that popped up for the moment's" house looks as she prepares for the new beginnings that are right here, right now..
