As the winter snows melted into Spring blooms, my favorite season arrived!

March ushered in the first flowers. Crocus and daffodils came back, reminding us of promises kept and renewal. Walks in the woods, our youngest’s birthday, warmer weather and a hopeful spirit came around again, bringing joy with it.

“Silver white winters that melt into Spring, these are a few of my favorite things!” - Julie Andrews, “The Sound of Music”

I see it as storytelling. I love photography and writing. Partly, it’s a platform for self-expression and a way to eventually work from home but it’s largely about making good memories; whether it’s in the home, traveling, making a delicious meal, baking a sweet treat, painting a positive image or capturing something with photography. They’re all opportunities to make new, lasting memories. In today’s world, although so much of it is still wonderful and lovely, some of it is troubling, sad or frightening. Anything we can do to spread some positivity and comfort is welcome and a chance for our loved ones and friends to draw on those memories when we’re not physically with them one day. Here’s to making amazing memories and creativity!

These inspirational quotes are from Ali Heath’s book Create At Home with Old and New

“ New pieces will always have a place but ethical and sustainable choices will help ensure a better future and more timeless decisions.” - Ali Heath

“Remind yourself regularly that you are creative…everyone is born with a creative side, but some choose not to believe this or suppress it through fear of failure. If you lose the monkey on your shoulder, you can simply enjoy the act of creativity and the pressure disappears.” - Ali Heath

“Creators are driven by what is and what can be…with heads full of ideas that have already taken shape, are in progress and still only exist in their imagination. It is never a race, so trust in the divine timing of things.” - Ali Heath
