I was particularly moved by a comment I received today from OlyTrinity on my lastest post Vision + People = Dreams Come True, so I decided to write a love letter. Because as More Love Letters aptly states: “The World Needs More Love Letters” and gratitude!
June 29, 2013
Dear World,
I am astounded by your beauty.

By the incredible people,
Some of my favorite students while living in China
plants,
My garden in North Carolina
and animals that spend their lives on earth.

I’m amazed by the kindess of strangers, the diversity of us all, and by the gentleness of new life.
Husky pup!
By the adventures, opportunities, and surprises available to us everyday.
Spotted!
And by the overall richness of life.

I’m so grateful I’m here. I hope I’ll share many more decades with you.

No matter what, I promise to enjoy my time on earth,
to LOVE with my whole heart, and to add value each day in every way I know how.

What’s your love letter to the world?
Ah… This does what all great love letters should — It allows the reader to see the wonder of the beloved.
Thank you Jacqueline
Jacqueline, i’d like to thank you from the heart, my deepest gratitude for that beautiful love letter you wrote to the world. i luv it! yes, an artist’s dream did come true for me! God bless you always.
Thanks so much, OlyTrinity! 🙂 That’s amazing that you’re an artist–what’s your favorite thing to paint? Blessings to you as well! <3
i used to dabble with different mediums before, like oil paints, acrylics, watercolours, pastels and all but now i just want to paint in watercolours, so convenient/portable and i can paint anything/anywhere, nothing hinders anymore (a pad of watercolor paper, a brush, palette, jar of water & watercolors) is all i need to be creative and artistic.
i luv painting flowers, trees, birds, people, bldgs, landscape and anything that captures my imagination. it’s a big world out there! someday i will paint ur cabin in the woods!
I took a photo of our Canada Flag, it’s shown on my FB cover page. We’re celebrating Canada Day here in Toronto today!
That sounds wonderful, OlyTrinity! So glad that you’re exploring your creativity and sharing it with the world! 🙂
Cheers to that! I love the World~ It’s pretty great. 🙂
p.s. I love that you took your Grandmother too the ocean, too.
It is indeed, Cameron! Well, my Grandmother did that by herself. She was 73 when I was born, so she had already been in the ocean (think she went at 72). Even though she’s passed on now, she’s continued to be an inspiration. Have you seen the episode about her? Amazing lady: https://6monthstolive.me/6-months-tv/

I love the emotion in each of these photos. So much is said with a single snapshot.
Also- LOVE your headshot! Stunning!
Thanks so much, Elizabeth! I’ve been really into my instagram photos as of late. 😉 Thanks for the compliment on the headshot! Vanessa did a wonderful job! 🙂
Life itself is an adventure, when we do something we love, from our heart.
Have a nice day =)!
