Word Path • Laundry and Love Notes

I must say this is how it started because much of what I do brings me back to these notes, which I keep on the family board as a reminder. They remind me not to stress out and not to hate the monotony of routine, the making of school lunches, doing the laundry, the driving back and forth to school....routines of a mom's everyday.

It used to drive me insane until I read these notes from my oldest son. So now my attitude has changed as I fold laundry and make school lunches for the kids etc.... I say to myself, I am doing this with love in my heart so I can turn it into a more positive, less stressful routine. I shared this with a few friends and it has worked for them too! I love how it has inspired some new word work for Word Paths today.

May Flower Challenge Day Twenty-NIne • Inspired by a Palette and a Painting

I painted an abstract loose piece this morning as I am prepare for three shows coming up in June. I opened up my usual palette of green, orange and blue by adding magenta.

Magenta has been my new color of late. June is going to be a busy, crazy month.

My base painting which I find quite lovely on its own!
