THE ARTFUL GARDEN

"The Artful Garden" is a metaphor suggesting how we can sow seeds of creative ideas. Gardens start with small seeds, much like ideas and art. They both need to be fed, nurtured and loved in order to thrive. This "garden" is a safe place to be both inspired and inspiring to others. It is a way to share who you are and promote forward movement within your life. A way to realize that you are not alone. Please join our "conversation" any time by posting your thoughts, questions and ideas in the comment section of
"the garden."

Spider Princess

If I was a spider princess, she said, I would spin webs the color of sky & catch drops of sunlight to give to children who watch too much TV & then everyone would remember to come outside to play. If I was a spider princess, she said, things would be different.

I love the outlook of this spider princess.

here's another quote from those all-knowing story people...

I spent a long time trying to find my center until I looked closely one night and found it had wheels and moved easily in the slightest breeze, so now I spend less time sitting and more time sailing.
-Brian Andreas -

My uncle gave me this print/quote by Brian Andreas the Christmas after I had graduated from college. I think he could sense that I had found myself in a rut - I felt very lost - trying to figure out where to find a job and my place in this world.

we had a little fire in our old apt. last dec. and the frame to it broke, so for a while it was tucked away in that old spare room of mine. I recently dug it out along with the crazy glue ...and have it hanging above my dresser in the bedroom. It is a positive start to the day for me.

Again, I'm at a point in my life where I need to "spend less time sittting and more time sailing" ... this quote also gives a little push for those forward movements we've all been trying out.
