September 2022
Hey Friend!
September is my favorite month. What is yours?
I love September because it signifies Fall is just around the corner. I love it because it is my anniversary and birthday month (I wouldn’t mind skipping the birthday). I love it because of songs like, September! I love it because I get together with my college friends every September; so many things to celebrate and have joy about. But I really love it because it just seems to be a time of year when I am most at peace. I can’t really explain why but it has been that way for me since I was a young girl. I just really love and embrace this time of year for some reason.
Anyway, I just want to send you a message of peace for September and all the months after that.
On This Day....
Mend a quarrel Search out a forgotten friend Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust Write a love letter Share some treasures Give a soft answer Encourage youthÂ
Manifest your loyalty in a word or deed Keep a promise Find the time Forego a grudge Forgive an enemy Listen Apologize if you were wrong
Try to understand Flout envy Examine your demands on others Think first of someone else Appreciate, be kind, be gentle Laugh a little more Deserve confidence
Take up arms against malice Decry complacency Express your gratitude Worship your God Gladden the heart of a child Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth
Speak your love Speak it again Speak it still again Speak it still once again....

p.s. I’ve been considering which art offerings you may best enjoy from my studio. I tend to send larger framed works to my gallery partners. Would you help by telling me what you would most often be interested in from me?
Things worth Sharing
READING . LISTENING . WATCHING
Watching a variety of things lately like, Untold, Only Murders in the Building, and Where the Crawdads Sing. But really love listening to this new Zach Williams song release.
Reading two books right now, one called Prayer and the other called, A Place of Quiet Rest - this is where all my peace comes from.
NOTICING . WITNESSING . MEDITATING
Did you know that I have an awesome Loyalty Program where you can be rewarded for many different things such as referrals and follows as well as for making purchases? Go sign up.
REMEMBERING . CREATING . HOPING
I released some brand new Original Cyanotypes recently on beautiful deckled edge paper. You should check them out.
I am preparing to release some small framed Love Letters soon. These are always a crowd favorite so stay tuned to quickly grab one when they are released.
Parting Words
REFLECTION QUESTION
What kind of peace do you think this world is seeking most?
QUOTABLES
The world doesn’t give any peace, for it doesn’t have any peace to give. It fights for peace, it negotiates for peace, it maneuvers for peace, but there is no ultimate peace in the world. But Jesus gives peace to those who put their trust in Him.
-Billy Graham
I hope something here put a smile on your face + warmed your heart! If it did, I would love to hear your response.
