"Once we clearly acknowledge the soul, we can learn to hear it's cries. - Dallas Willard, Renovation Of The Heart."

It takes courage to pursue our dreams. It takes time and patience to unearth buried treasure. But I believe with all my heart that we must do both.

I know exactly how that lady feels and remember the day I too discovered the undreamed dream come true.

How wonderful that that women was inspired. Blessings to you dear Mary.

Fun pages, & according to design, three's or odd numbers are appealing to the eye, don't you love it when instinctively you're following a design pattern & don't know it! I think we can all echo the ladies words, a dream we didn't know to dream :-)

Mary,
I got your message on my blog. Thank you so much for asking about me. I have been very quiet lately. Fighting some depression and struggling with the constant balancing between what I HAVE to do (children, house, shopping, cooking, cleaning)and what I WANT to do (ART!!) has made me very tired. I need a break...one that I won't get until the fall when Jack starts pre-k. I've been a stay home mom without a gap (always with someone home) for nearly 10 years. Gotta start taking care of me, you know? I'm so ready for some me time. :) I'm doing the "remains of the day" journal project but as with any of my online endeavors, it's a slow process. I noticed your blog link on her (Mary Ann Moss) site. Did you take a class from her? Anyway, you're just so sweet to ask about me. It's such a great comfort to know my online people are FRIENDS!! Thank you again!
Big hug -
Megan
