Sorry for the long absence, was missing in action, and felt snowed under with work, courses, and a whole host of other things that can sap you time. I decided to give myself the time that I needed to reflect, and review.
I just did this mini video to remind myself that the many gifts and talents we are blessed with are to share with the world, despite how we are feeling in the moment there is always someone who is feeling worse and we are called to try and inspire and encourage each other. I hope you are having a blessed day what ever you are doing. After much mist and a chilly start here in London the sun has come out, so I will be going to get my quota of vitamin D and get back on track.
Got lots to share over the coming weeks, will be resuming posting the rest of the 365 days of colour, been doing a few courses to share, new art work and more! The video below was so easy to put together it would be great to see your efforts....

365 Days of Colour - Flower of the Day 272 - 278
Maturity
....Comes over time. As children we cannot wait to grow up, pretending that we are older. When we do get older with all the responsibilities we appreciate when we were without a care in the world, we tend to the aching muscles and the not so 20:20 vision as we peer over glasses to read the fine print and we talk to the younger generation about the things they need to appreciate as they go through their season to gain maturity...
