<span style="color: orange;"><span style="background-color: white;">I</span><span style="background-color: white;"> ordered new watercolors (Lightwish MeiLiang) and watercolor paper online and looked forward to their delivery, but when they arrived I was afraid to begin the process of painting. Not quite sure what to do, I just started. I challenge myself daily to try something new, however small. At first I started freehand but found that it was to open for me. I need to sketch first with pencil lightly and then fill in the blanks. With this method, I feel much more comfortable. This and Ella makes for a day to look forward to. Thank God. Days of feeling stuck within the walls of mind were bringing me down. </span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: orange;">Ella and watercolors are helping me climb out.</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;">Also. Big Help. Online classes.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;">As stated earlier, I found a new teacher, <a href="http://www.annlafolletteart.com/" target="_blank">Anne LaFollette</a>. She is offering a free class on surface design starting May 4th. </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Turning Doodles to Dollars</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Additionally, Anne teaches a class in <a href="http://skillshare.com/" target="_blank">Skillshare</a> which is another great place to find a class in something you love.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;">So looking forward to this!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394;">Additionally, I started a new class today, through <a href="http://domestika.org/" target="_blank">Domestika</a>: The Art of Sketching: </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394;">Transform Your Doodles into Art by Mattias Adolfsson</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394;">I believe I found this website on Facebook and I am so happy I did. They offer many classes at a very reasonable price. I love this class so far! Mattias has an extensive background in illustration and I really like his illustration style. It is wonderful to connect with others from all around the world. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange;">I'm finding my Happy Place.</span></div>

I would love to share with you a new book I am diving into one toe at a time! <br />

<br />
It is a beautiful book with wonderful recipes and lots of information if you (like me) are interested in eating better.<br />
<br />
I am starting off slow, as Sarah suggests.<br />
I am enjoying shopping for new ingredients, (some I have never heard of before?) and putting them all together into something delicious and nutritious.<br />
<br />
I purchase most of my ingredients from <a href="http://www.wegmans.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/HomepageView?storeId=10052&catalogId=10002&langId=-1&clear=true" target="_blank">Wegmans</a>, because that is my grocery store, and they have a great selection, also my local health food store and local farms.<br />
<br />
I am new to eating good foods often.<br />
My goal is to find recipes that I love so I will want to eat them as much as I love to eat cookies.<br />
<br />
<br />
A great lunch idea...<br />
inspired by Sarah<br />
<br />
Marathon Bread (from <a href="http://www.wegmans.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/HomepageView?storeId=10052&catalogId=10002&langId=-1&clear=true" target="_blank">Wegmans</a>) toasted<br />
with avocado, fresh tomato (from <a href="http://www.indianheadfarm.com/" target="_blank">Indian Head Farm</a>) and a poached egg.<br />

Post Script: I have to share with you my awesome find on my next blog post for the best way to hull an avacado!<br />
<br />
I am new to avocados.<br />
<br />
Many say how easy they are to peel and remove the pit etc...<br />
but I found this awesome tool that did it all lickety-split and I love it!!<br />
<br />
Next...here is a recipe that Sarah suggests you try the first week.<br />
I am really having so much fun!<br />

This granola is so tasty and and fun to make.<br />
One ingredient that was optional and new to me was<br />
Brown Rice Syrup.<br />

I baked my granola for 35 minutes but forgot to mix it up while checking on it. <br />
It might have cooked quicker had I done that.<br />
<br />
The kitchen smelled devine!<br />
<br />
As soon as it was slightly cooled I topped it on some fresh fruit.<br />

This month is World Watercolor Month! Are you up for a challenge of using watercolors every day for the month of July? I thought I would give it a try since I love to use watercolors as a medium. I love them more for coloring than actual painting, but nevertheless, I thought I would see where this challenge would bring me! I have never used paints from the tube before....so another new challenge for me....<br />
Last night I started warming up with oranges and yellows....<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently found out about a job opportunity that looked like it might be a match. It matched all that I had been in the past with a little of what I was loving in my present. It matched a schedule I was used to and it provide a salary I had, in the past become accustomed to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I applied, and although some/a lot of it was outside of my comfort zone, I continued to pursue it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I realized that I would have to muster up lots and lots of energy for the responsibilities it entailed. Where would all that energy come from? Well, I thought, it would just well up from inside me. The salary is substantial and I would need to show them I am worth every penny.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This job I knew would have taken every thing I had to give and more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would give it my all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the end, I did not get the job. Someone with more experience got it.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my head..."Yeah! I am so relieved."<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I immediately thought...What do you really want to do? And the answer came...<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to write and illustrate books for children.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now,<br />
<br />
I could use all that energy, I knew I could muster<br />
<br />
to give to the calling that is tugging at my heart.<br />
<br />

Hello there....<br />
I hope this post finds you well.<br />
Here are a few things I have been doing lately.<br />
: )<br />
I have really been enjoying being part of <a href="http://www.arttothe5th.com/the-documented-life-project-details/" target="_blank">The Documented Life Project.</a> My journal is getting chunky, and I feel like I have only yet begun. It is nice to have a place to keep track of things but also have it contain bits and pieces of your dreams and beliefs and experiments with new art mediums. </div>

<br />
With this journal, I told myself that I am not going for perfection.<br />
So, it kind of takes the pressure off as I start something....<br />
I just go for it and then live with the results....even if it is not exactly what I had intended.<br />
<br />

The kids at recess are having the best time ever, bundled up in their snow suits and sliding down slick worn down snowy hills. <br />
<br />
At night<br />
I have been enjoying reading a favorite children's book, <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1081290.The_Willows_in_Winter" target="_blank">The Willows in Winter</a> by William Horwood, illustrated by Patrick Benson.<br />
I love children's literature...<br />
and my new glasses!<br />
(purchased at <a href="http://www.christmastreeshops.com/" target="_blank">Christmas Tree Shop</a>)<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="gmw_">This past week, I had a particularly<span class="gmw_"><span class="gmw_"> rough day. It was one of those days when I felt<span class="gmw_"> </span></span>depleted<span class="gmw_"> and defeated all before I got to work. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I pulled into the parking lot,<br />
parked my car,<br />
and started walking towards the beginning of my work day.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="gmw_">I started to pay attention to what I was saying to myself,</span><br />
<span class="gmw_"> all negative, </span><br />
<span class="gmw_">and then thought of </span><br />
<span class="gmw_"><a href="http://www.louisehay.com/" target="_blank">Lousie Hay</a> </span><br />
<span class="gmw_"><br /></span>

<br />
<span class="gmw_">and her advice on positive affirmations.</span><br />

<span class="gmw_"><br /></span>
<span class="gmw_"><br /></span>
<span class="gmw_">I then tried to change my self-defeating thoughts to something more positive.</span><br />
<span class="gmw_">I thought, I will think of something positive and write it down 100 times so it sticks.</span><br />
<span class="gmw_"><br /></span>
<span class="gmw_"><span class="gmw_">All the while walking in telling myself not to cry.</span></span><br />
<span class="gmw_"><span class="gmw_"><br /></span></span>
<span class="gmw_"><span class="gmw_">As soon as I got into school, </span></span><br />
<span class="gmw_"><span class="gmw_">I saw one of my new little friends</span></span><br />
<span class="gmw_"><span class="gmw_">who was on his way back to class after going to the nurse's office.</span></span><br />
(He needed a belt, but he said she wasn't there.)<br />
<span class="gmw_">I told him to go back in an hour.</span><br />
<span class="gmw_">He exclaimed, "An hour?!"</span><br />
<span class="gmw_">I then said, "Maybe 15 minutes then."</span><br />
<span class="gmw_"><br /></span>
<span class="gmw_">He walked away holding onto his belt loops feeling a little more reassured.</span><br />
<span class="gmw_"><br /></span>
<span class="gmw_"><span class="gmw_">I then saw a fellow colleague, and we chatted down the hallway.</span></span><br />
<span class="gmw_"><span class="gmw_">She asked how I was doing?</span></span><br />
<span class="gmw_">I said "Alllll-right?" </span><br />
<span class="gmw_"> wiping an escaped tear from my cheek as I walked towards my classroom.</span><br />
<span class="gmw_"><br /></span>
<span class="gmw_">When I walked in </span><br />
<span class="gmw_">I was met with the students on the rug and a substitute in the room.</span><br />
<span class="gmw_"><br /></span>
One student was at her desk and she said,<br />
"Mrs. Steele, I have something for you.<br />
She then handed me a dragonfly charm and said, "I remembered you liked dragonflies from last year."<br />
<br />
Dragonflies have been a sign to me within hours of my father's passing.<br />
They show up when I least expect it but when I need them the most.<br />

<span class="gmw_"><br /></span>
It was as if that child had handed me the hand of God himself.<br />
<span class="gmw_"><br /></span>
I looked at it and couldn't believe my eyes.<br />
<span class="gmw_"><br /></span>
I gave her a hug and asked the teacher if I could excuse myself and then went into the empty lunchroom and had myself a very good cry.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today is the anniversary of when we lost our dad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was 5 years ago today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time has sure flown by.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last night, as I said my prayers,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wondered how I could honor my dad today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many things came to mind </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but then I thought about blueberry picking at Indian Head Farm in Berlin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dad and I used to bike ride, and one particular bike ride was all the way to Bolton</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...all through the back roads</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...the beautiful backroads of Berlin and Bolton.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="gmw_"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Along the back roads is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Indian-Head-Farm/133042546899?fref=ts" target="_blank">Indian Head Farm</a>.<br />

<span class="gmw_">That being our Sir name, </span><br />
<span class="gmw_">I always felt a connection to this farm.</span><br />
<span class="gmw_"><br /></span>
<span class="gmw_">My dad also loved nature.</span><br />
<span class="gmw_"><br /></span>
<span class="gmw_">So I thought this would be the perfect place to go to reflect on my memories of my dad.</span><br />
<span class="gmw_"><br /></span>
I showed up 5 minutes before picking ended...<br />
Not what I imagined...<br />
I imagined getting up early and being there at 8 am....<br />
<br />
But they let me in and told me to take my time and I had a wonderful time picking....<br />
<br />
I also had the wonderful opportunity to meet Mr. Wheeler.<br />
<br />
He helped me pick for awhile and told me not to worry about the branches, but to pull them right down to get all the berries, they were strong.<br />

There was an abundance of blueberries!<br />
I think I am going to go back tomorrow<br />
so that I can freeze and have fresh blueberries for next Fall, Winter and Spring!<br />

It was a lovely way to spend the early afternoon today...<br />

<br />
I rode my bike to get there.<br />
