Announcing the FIFTH and FINAL One World One Heart Event

One World One Heart is a worldwide event for bloggers only. It gives all those who blog a chance to meet and mingle and form connections with those they may not have otherwise met from all over the world. In the past 4 years this event has grown to over 1,000 participants with lasting friendships (and even one love connection) formed along the way. Think of it as a GIGANTIC open house allowing you to travel without ever leaving your home........going from blog to blog(in various countries) seeing the wonder each one has created and meeting all the fabulous people behind those blogs. As a bonus each blogger participant will offer up a "door prize or prizes"....just for dropping by, saying hello and seeing their world. It's really that easy.


IT WILL BEGIN ON SUNDAY JANUARY 30th WITH THE FINAL DAY BEING FEBRUARY 17th, (the day winners are announced) 2011

Reflection and Inspiration

I was just reflecting on a trip we took in 2006 to Italy. We rented this villa in Tuscany and it was one of the most wonderful things we ever did. We will do it again someday....
But in looking at my pictures, I also remember how much inspiration I get from our trips around the world. Every creative endeavor requires some sort of inspiration to fuel the process, and it can arrive at any time and in any form-a person, nature, music, a favorite place or a new place. The road between an idea and a finished piece is a winding one that starts and stops, changes direction, and may not even resemble the original thought at the end. But it's really about the journey.
So surround yourself with the beautiful, with interesting things and places. Then watch your creativity flow.
May you have a wonderful today and even better tomorrow. Happy New Years!
