Early Morning Thoughts

The smells and wonders.....

First, I want to thank everyone, who shared their favorite things about this time of year.  I felt that I was with each one of you as you described them.  

Ok, onto the winner of my blog giveaway....  Hope  

Hope...if you will e-mail me with your address, I will get this packaged up and mailed out to you.

 

I thought that I would share with you, some of the wonders that I see each day as I look out of my studio doors.  I love the smells that come from my flowering trees....

 

 

Outside my studio doors, I have a nest that a mama bird built.  Her babies have hatched and I have been following their process.  I love this time of year....

 

I am so looking forward to seeing the hummingbirds and butterflies.  

 

 

Life's fragrance....

When I think of fragrance, I think of a sweet and linger smell, one that brings a smile to my face. Smells have a way, of bringing past memories to surface. Ones that leave a linger effect.  That is how I think of life...wherever we go, we leave our footprints.  Sometimes, they are huge and then sometimes, they might seem small, but they leave such a profound and lingering effect.

We are all given the opporuntity to affect people. Every so often, I find myself stopping and turning around.  Seeing if my footprints are ones that bring a sweet lingering effect.  If not, then what can I learn from it and change the next time around.  

My next book....life's fragrance, was created with love in mind.  Love is such a powerful and linger feeling.  One that leaves a footprint in time, forever.  

These are a few of the pages from this book.
