Happy Birthday, 1760 Sunday House!! It's been a year since I started this blog. I have to say that I have enjoyed everything that this represents to me. I love having this little niche where I get to express, do more of that and then some. Thank you to all who have commented, followed, and supported this through its first year. You are all lovely!!
XOXO...
Life's been great. There are lots of opportunities to give back and keep the wheel of abundance well-oiled. When the possibilities abound, I can't help but recall that I listened to the little voices in my heart, and no matter how afraid I was of making certain steps, the point is that I made them to begin. I feel like there are lots of things that are beginning now, and I have nothing but gratitude in my heart for all of these.

I wish I can be more on time for Inspire Me Thursday... this was actually last week's topic, Cheeks, inspired by my favorite, Danita. Above is a mixed media piece I did in India. Big cheeks figure in a lot of my pieces... Here's an attempt to emphasize the cheekiness by stuffing the painting itself...
Fat, full cheeks... such abundance! Maybe because I have a faceful of them myself:
And what about these cheeks bathed in color for the festival of Holi:
And here's the real version of it:
Happy Inspire Me Thursday!
