Words of Wisdom

  • The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things. - Henry Ward Beecher
  • Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather a skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, throughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "WOW! What a ride!" - Hunter S. Thompson
  • Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. - Mark Twain
  • The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said. - Peter F. Drucker
  • Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. - Albert Einstein
  • Be silly. Be honest. Be kind. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Four: no. 3

“Time stands still best in moments that look suspiciously like ordinary life.”
~ Brian Andreas


Thank you so much to my virtual friend Sherri who is so jazzed about The Four. I'm so happy to join her on this journey.

What is The Four? From their site:

"The Four is a collaboration project which will incorporate photos, poetry and/or a prose response to a bi-weekly challenge.

Four Canadians living in four diverse regions living four distinct lives. Connected by a love of photography, a desire for deeper expression, belief in the power of collaboration and heart's connection."

By happy coincidence, I am participating in Unravelling: Ways of Seeing My Self e-course taught by the lovely Susannah Conway. Through this first week of the course, I happened to take, what I consider to be, the perfect photo for this The Four assignment.

I am really enjoying these challenges and courses. I think my photography, writing and scrapbooking is improving greatly. Just as energy encourages more energy: creativity encourages more creativity.

And there's always that bit about synchronicity.


(I originally posted this on my Lemons2Lemonade blog, but I'm thinking I should keep all creative endeavours on this blog instead. After all, that's why this one was started!)

Where I Buy Fun Supplies

  • A Cherry On Top
    I can't "toot" loud enough to let you know how fantastic this online resource is: tons of product, great prices, FAST shipping - a week quicker than any other US online retailer. Love them, love them, love them. If you have to pay duty and taxes I'd rather pay it quick than have to wait for the privilege!
  • Forever Scrapbooks
    Located a few kms away in Burlington. Great when I need something quick, I can usually find it here.
  • Pages In Time (Michigan)
    A bit of a hike, but well worth the trip if you happen to be in Michigan.
  • Pick of the Patch (Port Coquitlam, BC)
    Fantastic monthly kit, look forward to opening it each month. It always includes something I can't find locally.
  • Scrapbooks By Design (Toronto)
    Fabulous place, but the website does take f.o.r.e.v.e.r. to load.
  • The Crafty Scrapper (Texas)
    Oh my, a feast for the eyes, your fingers get itchy just walking in the front door, so much stuff to behold. Located in Waxahatchie, Texas it's a bit far, good thing they have a website and decent shipping!
