saying yes to the universe…

today…this was put into my mailbox and taken away by the postman. it’s definitely gone, i checked. this envelope contains my registration for an amazing art workshop this fall. four days on squam lake in new hampshire, with several of my new heroes. at this moment, i can’t think of anything more blissful* than art supplies, new friends, a lake, and the woods of new england in late summer. the workshop is brand spanking new this year and is the dreamy creation of my new friend. she knows the deal too, for real. she herself took this same big step a couple of years ago, claimed the term *artist*, met all her fears head-on, and dove into an art workshop. now she is in art school.

ART SCHOOL! so inspiring.

so after i put my registration in the mailbox, hiked back up the stairs, sat down in front of my computer, and answered the phone, i looked out the window. and there. here? yes here! all of a sudden. i know for certain it wasn’t here yesterday and i would swear it wasn’t here 5 minutes before, but right then, right at that moment. right when i said yes to the universe that has been gently whispering, whispering, nudging, nudging…

grace intervened it seemed…

and springtime?

yup.

it

has

arrived.

{with a wink}

so to all you northerners, or any of you buried in snow and cold, looking out your frost covered windows and waiting, waiting…it’s coming… from north carolina…with love!
