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

Week 1 of Unravelling: Ways of Seeing My Self

I have just completed Week 1 of the Unravelling course I told you about in this post about Continuing the Transformation. On it there are video blogs, weekly photo assignments, writing exercises and group connecting.

This week the photo assignments was feet. Yes, FEET. To some, not the most pleasant of topics. There are 116 participants and we all posted up to six (6) photos. I found it interesting the number of bare feet; sock covered feet; shoes and boots. The angles, the colours used, techniques and the perspectives were fascinating.

Here were the six I submitted onto the Flickr site:

One thing about my kids is that it's pretty easy to get foot shots - they're always running around the house with naked feet! Makes me cold and I'm forever worrying about splinters with the reclaimed barn board floors, but they seem not to notice.

This week there were also a couple of writing assignments for which I've purchased a beautiful red Moleskine journal. The prompts have been very accessible and encouraging. Very personal. Still not sure if I'm going to share, but you never know!

Stay tuned.

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!
