2011–looking back, moving forward
As I think about the year ahead, trying not to over plan, make resolutions or think beyond the next few days I want to take some time to look back at 2011, a year of changes.
2011 began with grieving for my dad; he passed away in November, 2010…he was my hero.
In July we began looking for a new home…that process finally ended in December as we closed on our new abode…we will be in a new city; still close to old surroundings. We are remodeling and will be moved by the end of January, 2012.
Our daughter learned that she has a teaching position in South Korea…she will leave in February and that will be a sad and happy day as we watch her leave on an adventure of a lifetime.
Art licensing moved slowly in 2011; although I painted and worked in my art journal daily, the licensing part was on hold.
So a new year has dawned, new home, new studio on the horizon and new days to pursue the things I love, enjoy the beauty of God’s earth, the love of family and moving forward with art licensing.
grace and Peace to all!

Roads to travel
the last two weeks have been spent traveling 45 minutes from our present home to our new home to work on remodeling projects…each morning I have watched the beautiful sunrises as we traveled the freeways and back roads.
We will have our home ready for move-in in a couple of weeks, and as we make this move there are many new roads we will travel and many new adventures to experience. change is in the air personally and professionally…
I look forward to the calendar of days wide open for 2012!

January 1, 2012
My wish for all is a year filled with love and laughter, joy and hope, faith and promise mixed with the wonder of discovery and adventure.
“This is what the LORD says— he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:16, 18-19 NIV

Day 57 of 61 days challenge
Reflections 
as 2011 and the 61 days challenge come to a close I am thankful for my blessings and thinking about changes and challenges that lie ahead and looking forward to 2012. There are several events that will shape our lives in 2012…our move to a new community, our daughter spending a year abroad teaching English and my continued pursuit of art licensing and a new job will definitely present change and challenges.
Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—” Psalm 103:1-2 NIV

it’s that time again…
To resolve or not to resolve, new year’s resolutions or not? Some do, some don’t…my resolve is to be present, enjoy, focus, live each day with expectation and take time to have fun.
Here are some resolution ideas from a few blogs I enjoy reading.
Young House Love—the blog of a young couple who write about renovating their home—fun and interesting.
Crescendo—a resolve to play more music and Enjoy. Sounds like a good plan!
Beth Parker—focus on one task rather than multi-tasking—great idea.
Curly Girl Design—focus on a theme for the year.
Anna Maria Horner—a beautiful post reflecting on 2010.
and that is what I am doing—reflecting—not making resolutions or writing out a plan…instead thinking of 2010; being thankful for the time I spent with my dad, thankful for my family, my home, my art, my friends, and thankful that God gives me Hope for tomorrow and Joy for a New Year.
