Easter Bunnies

  Paint Party Friday

Pray for peace, 

far and wide

to which ever spirit

you abide

Pray for friends

everywhere

pray for those

you can not bear

Love the ones

who need it most

Forgive the ones

who need to boast

So many lessons 

here to learn

Give the love

you need returned

Expect not,  where

 it shall come

Have faith 

the process has begun

Hogan the original acrylic Bunny!

Grant love, 

not to receive

but for the value

that you'll leave

Share love
at every turn
whether or not
it's returned! 

Give a little

Or give  a lot

  give from the heart

  what you've got!

May be words of comfort

or a laugh or two

  something you made

something old or new

 

 It may be pearls of wisdom, 

 thoughts filled with hope

or  simple appreciation

or special ways to cope 

 Need not be  grand 
or monetary

 instead quite to
  the  contrary

 

 Well thought out

with good intention

a compliment

or kind  mention

 Pray for peace 
far and wide 
to the spirit
you abide 

Pray for peace, 
kindness too
A new direction
 long overdue!  

My heart is heavy for the state of our world.

What was to be a happy post soon turned.

For all my European blog friends I have no words

I hope your loved ones are safe and you are safe!

 Bunnies for our powder room. Simple acts of silly

can make me smile when life is so sad! 

All week I was working on bunnies...and yesterday

Cupcake picked  up these whimsical towels

at the dollar store of all places... Thank you

dear for bringing me cheer!

Thank you Cupcake  for this delectable

dessert carefully crafted with love!

Beardo and Cupcake in their favorite colour green 

converse runners, actually makes me happy! 

Unable to find hers in green, Cupcake used

acrylic mixed with fabric medium to paint  hers!

She even washes them in 

the machine and they turn out beautifully!

Lastly I wanted to share what 

 was one of my favorite candies  as a child

Sponge toffee. 

Here it's call Honeycomb toffee,

this is an easy recipe!!

We'll be making it for Easter!! 

Since we ALL love it!

Happy Easter for all who celebrate!

May your celebration be filled with love and laughter!

May you all be safe and warm!

For those who are alone...do something 

FABULOUS for yourself! You are so

worth it!!

Tell me something simple that brought you joy this week

during so much sadness!

International Womans Day 2015

 Each International Woman's day I try to share this poem I wrote almost ten years ago. It's a summation  of the many women I have encountered over the years as well as myself! It's a tribute to women everywhere who's inner world propels them to better things! This is the first digital art I have done with my tablet!

 Mother, daughter, Sister, Lover

I am a woman, and I cry when no one can hear
I have huge dreams, I never share
I have fantasies, I dare not reveal
I have unrequited love, that is never recognized

I am the white noise in the home
Persistently preparing, repairing and doing at all times
I love deeply, with vision, constant hope, pride and joy
I have a relentless faith, in life, in god, in family, in future

I carry the burdens and secrets of others
Hold guilt to my heart, where empathy,
Forgiveness and optimism obstinately reside
Often suppressing passion, and creativity

I do my duties without fail, or resentment
I stand alone in my failures and regrets
I give, even when there is but a pittance
I get less, expect less, and take less, feeling like I am less

I am taken for granted, heard with rare acceptance
I am courageous, beyond my expectations
I am the unpaid teacher, waitress, homemaker, and psychologist
I am the solver of problems, and scarcely put first

I have thoughts, I feel ashamed to share
I have wants, I will never reveal
I have needs that no one will heed
I have a lonely soul, which I can not seem to feed

I am a woman, and I cry alone, about what isn’t
What will never be, what is lost, forgotten, not forgiven
Not recognized, or realized, or capitalized, I cry about
Poverty, and love forlorn, for loved ones, and love forgotten

I am a woman, resilient in majestic proportions,
I am a woman, of maternal magnificence
I am a woman, with imperial abilities
I am a unique woman, the queen of my family
And heart of my home!
