Peace and focus and aliveness

As most of you know, there's little that brings me more joy than hiking through beautiful nature-filled places happily snapping wildflower photos (the poppies above were shot on a hike near my home last weekend).

I love wildflowers. But even more importantly, I love the peace and focus and aliveness that nature and creativity bring to my life.

I encourage you to find some breathing space in your life this week by spending time in nature. Take some time to see, feel, smell and savor everything about your surroundings. And if you can combine that with a creative activity, even better. So, take along your journal, camera, sketch pad, easel . . . whatever brings you peace and aliveness.
