Our fearless leader, Jamie has asked us this morning "What do you wish to give?" Again a question I have to stop and think about. This is one I will have to answer in two parts I think.
I wish to give others encouragement. I have so enjoyed my last year of blogging. I have found such amazing people. I have been given so very much here in terms of wonderful friendships, encouragement, shoulders to cry on, cheese with my whine. Support..is so important. I would love to continue to have opportunities here to give support. To give new artists encouragement and help them figure out what to do next with their talents. To help folks find their True North, whatever that may be. To just maybe help them stay on the path with a hug or a chat. I wish to continue to be given opportunities to offer support.
The other thing that popped up right away was my artwork and photography. I want to be able to to give the viewer something when they see my work. I want to reach in and make them smile. To create some sort of positive emotion. Warm the heart.
I have never been fond of artwork that makes me cringe..I understand the need for it..I do. There is a need for this in the world. I know the need to express oneself on canvas, anger, sadness, grief. I do understand. But it has never been me to do this..I always seem to come from a different place when I create. I wish to give folks who own or view my work, a moment of warmth in their soul. Some joy, a smile...is that too much to wish for? I hope not..that is what I wish to give.. a bit of myself in my art..the part that makes you smile and warms your heart.
Namaste, Sarah

Well you don't need to wish as you already do give both of those things.
As Sarah wishes for herself, I wish for her also.
Rock on Sarah!!
I will take this opportunity to tell you that you have encouraged, supported and inspired me throughout this past year!
Love this post!

As Sarah wishes for herself, I so wish for her also. I do believe that you already do both of these and very well.
(((HUGS)))
Dear Sarah, don't you see you've already given these things many times over and for that I am grateful. You are always lending an ear and a kind word..
As Sarah wishes for herself, so I wish for her also. May it be so.
Namaste,

Ooooo, I love that fat little bee!
Well dear Sarah - it seems to me that what you wish for is already what you have - you give so much encouragement and your art warms the cockles of many a heart. So I think you should wish for something selfish that you don't already have. You're allowed!!!
Anyway - know your wishes have already come true - because I have been the recipient! Thank you.
Hey Sarah,
Nice to read your post while listening to the soulful Josh Groban sing Christmas Songs like Noel. I love your artwork, the Faeries on those beautiful snails and mushrooms feels like magic. You are great with Pen and ink. Super! It does make me smile. (the world of nature & beauty always does.) Much thx

I don't think it is. That is exactly what you have given me. And I know that you have done this for countless others. It seems that this is something which comes natural to you. You are such a sweet soul.
I love that artwork you posted on this post. It is one of my favorites by you!
Hugs
May all your wishes come true! :) As a thank you for the MHA Treasury I posted your blog and etsy shop on my last posting. :) xoxo

As my friend wishes for herself, so I lovingly and with intention wish for her also...but the wish is already granted for you give me encouragement when I truly need it...and I am blessed to know you.
However, you know I think your artwork leaves a great deal to be desired...juz sayin' ;-)

Well, I'm grinning all over myself at that delightful drawing of the faeries that heads your post! Your warmth and creative spirit shines through on your blog, and I love visiting. I hope to exchange more encouragement with you in the future.
As Sarah wishes for herself, so I wish for her also.
