Happy August ~ I am happily on the road, without my computer or printer, so this month’s calendar is a bit of an experiment. I usually do a test print of the calendar to make sure of colors and sizing, however I haven’t been able to that. So I advise that when you’re printing your calendar to check the printer option to ‘fit paper’ ~ or something like that. Good luck and I’d love to know how the printing process worked. Next month I should be back with my usual technology, but for now I’m traveling light! Happy August! And let us all be more daring!!!

Create whatever causes a revolution in your heart ...
“Do whatever brings you to life, then. Follow your own fascinations, obsessions, and compulsions. Trust them. Create whatever causes a revolution in your heart.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear
This month’s quote is from the wise and most wonderful Elizabeth Gilbert!! She is famous for her memoir, “Eat, Pray, Love” which is a truly inspiring read. However she has contributed so much more inspiring and passionate words about living a creative life. Her most recently contributions can be found in her Letters from Love on Substack.
This month’s quote comes from another of her books, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear. This is one of those books that I return to when I need a reminder to just CREATE!! If you haven’t read anything by her I highly recommend reading some.
Happy May, thank you & peace, Virginia

Forever – is composed of Nows –
‘Tis not a different time –
Except for Infiniteness –
And Latitude of Home –
From this – experienced Here –
Remove the Dates – to These –
Let Months dissolve in further Months –
And Years – exhale in Years –
Without Debate – or Pause –
Or Celebrated Days –
No different Our Years would be
From Anno Dominies –”

I am a HUGE fan of the colder months, much to many of my friend's disbelief. Besides the fact that I don't do well in the heat, I find that the cooler temperatures offer many opportunities to curl up and take a moment to pause. Similar to what much of Mother Nature does, burrowing down, underground to regroup and recharge.
So as we head into October and the next few months full of holidays, merriment and many gathering, I felt a good quote for this month's calendar is a friendly reminder of the importance of taking a rest!!
Happy October!!
