Celebrate the Special Dad in your Life
Dirt & Beauty & Rain
I lost my mom a few months ago after a long battle with Alzheimer's. I only got glimpses of her during the last few years, but her optimism and positive spirit continued to reveal itself until the very end. She liked to encourage everyone she met and you couldn't help but feel better after you spoke with her.
Losing her left a space in my heart that no one else can fill. She was my biggest cheerleader—always believing in me, even when I couldn’t see my own potential. Her words of encouragement echo in my mind during the toughest days, reminding me to keep going, to trust myself, and to be kind. She had this way of making me feel like I could do anything, and even now, I find strength in her unwavering faith in me.
She always loved that I created my art to help encourage others. And though it's been very tough these past months, I know she's up in heaven now, completely cured and spreading joy to everyone she meets.
I finally felt inspired again and have been in the studio painting like crazy. I miss her deeply, but I carry her love and support with me always. Thanks mom for continuing to encourage me.

Why You Need to Retreat from your World
Think about a place or time in your life where you got to get away from it all?
A time where you could think.
A time where you could breathe.
Was it the beach?
Was it the mountains?
Was it your own back yard?
Or just having the house to yourself?
In a Mel Robbins podcast I recently listed to, they used a phrase that struck me.
"We need to think of rest as a right, not a reward."
Throughout our life, we're taught, once you get your work done (homework, chores, cleaning, errands, whatever...), then you can take a break.
What happens, more often than not, is we NEVER get our work done.
There's ALWAYS something that needs to be done.
What if we switched our mindset and scheduled in the relaxing time, the quiet time, the fun time, the I don't want to think about anything time?
Giving yourself actual space and time to recharge.
Give yourself a Place to Retreat;
where the World Grows Quiet enough for your Soul to Speak.

It's Not the End
We tend to look at life from a very narrow perspective - seeing only what's right in front of us.
Wondering if a problem will ever end.
Will I get through this?
Pain. Grief. Sadness. Loss. Stress.
Not being able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
It helps to remember that problems are temporary and that everything will ultimately work out.
But often it's not the timing we hope for.
Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it is not the end.
It's not the end. You got this.
