SWOON

Just a tiny post about where I am this week. THIS IS A BIG WEEK for me professionally. Every year I host an art fest that raises money for the Alzheimer day care I work for. You see we are non profit and this is one of our big events. Last year we raised 7,000 this year I want to raise over 9..This is when I hyperventilate because we changed the whole show this year. It is a catered and ticketed event and guess what ..it is sold out. Yup 200 guests will arrive for the evening Thursday at 6 and I will be prepared. My committee is awesome and I have such amazing support from the whole art community. Artists donate their work and we silent auction it off...all of the proceeds go to our non profit day care. ALSO my amazing particpants in the day care work on art all year and it is going to be for sale ,it has been beautifully framed by local galleries.
Hilton Head and Bluffton SC ... communities are the most giving ever! Well I will report at the end of the week how things went ..oh wait no I may not.... you see I end the week with a girlfriend weekend on another coastal Island and no telling when I will get back to my post. I do know I will be with women that no matter how my week goes will nurture me and affirm me. I hope you have those kind of women friends in your life too.PRAYING we all have a great week...Cathee

 A little creative play-this is going in the silent auction to raise money for the non-profit dementia day care that I work for. Really am going to have to let it go..love it and want to keep it ..but it is going for a GREAT cause,to help all of our families that have loved ones diagnosed with ALZ and other dementias. www.memory-matters.org

Blue Moon attitude

The bird pops out of the little holder and is attached to a piece of paper with the explanation of a blue moon. Basically the blue moon is the second moon of a month,it is said that whatever is started at the new moon is completed by the blue moon of the month. A time to finish a project or end something you have started. Good or bad...I am going to use it as a place to end some of the wrong thinking I have going on in my head. To remember what in life is important and not worry about what OTHERS think nor take what they say as fact. To end the dark negative thoughts and have a blue moon attitude!

Dreamy and lots of notes to myself on what I am learning. #1 not to be so hard on myself when I think things should be going faster and have no patience with my self.

Little shout out to my sweet hubby whom I have been on a journey with for 38 years...34 of those as man and wife!

I am fearfully and wonderfully made ,and loved without condition by a God who gave his Son for me! GRATEFUL.
