Getting back in a routine today, hope to carry it over into the night. Still adjusting tones, lightening and darkening as needed. At this point the grid has blended into the background and that's okay. I don't need it anymore. The proportions are pretty spot on.
I was reflecting today how everyone that comes into your life is for a reason. The timing is always perfect. Gods timing is always perfect. I was able to bless another mama in my Mothers of Preschoolers group with little gifts all year long who felt loved all year by someone who she'd never met, maybe she needed to feel that type of love. My husbands job gave him a co-worker that befriended him and shares many interests and the same type of humor when he needed his faith restored in co-workers. Lucias mother opened the world of crystals up in front of my eyes and inspired me to not only draw Lucia for her but to learn how to batik so I could make grid cloths. My neighbor who has lived across the street from us for five years to find out how much we have in common and now confide in each other our most private emotions when we needed to share our most inner selves. A festival we were asked to vend last May which was NOT profitable at all (we broke even) but it was the last time we talked and hugged our dear friend, my husbands childhood friend, for the last time. A week later he died in a tragic car accident. I thought about all my past portraits and how we crossed paths. Our church, LCBC, is doing a series on Crucial Conversations, while I am currently doing intense inner work on myself involving anger, hurt and fear, timing perfect as usual. I also think about my past and how it shaped me into who I am today. I wouldn't be me if I didn't experience, sometimes even suffer my past. I am grateful for every moment. Lessons and blessings. God always had a plan and I finally feel on board.
