Balance

Since the birth of my second son my life has been about searching for balance. When posed the question what are you searching for…a luxury, I started to think about that perfect eye cream that will help me look less tired, that perfect pair of jeans, or the right hair cut. Then I thought do I really need those things? What I am most longing for is balance. Time to have fun and play with my kids. A quiet night out with my husband for dinner and a movie and a quiet ride home. Time to do what I love best; create and spend time with family and friends. Time to sit in my house with a cup of tea and enjoy the sound of silence. Most of all, to enjoy the journey of life and continue to explore who I am. I am thankful for my friend Shannon who turned me on to this art journal. It has been a personal journey of growth and reawaken to what has been asleep for so long. Thank you Shannon!
