Be!*Li*cious!

So much of life screams at us DO this!, DO that!, GO here!, GO there!, ACCOMPLISH this!, ACCOMPLISH that!  It helps me if I repeat over the screaming, “Just be!”

Somehow it doesn’t seem so production oriented…to “just be”.  Oh, to be sure, I can make “being” a whole lotta work!  But when I’m “being” in the way I should, present-minded, taking moments to just breathe, mentally record little beauties here and there, then I’m actually able to move through my busy days less harried, less frazzled, more purposeful.

It would be so cool if we could have a conversation…to share back and forth…what helps you to “just be”?  Send me your thoughts in the comment section and I’ll compile them to share with everybody!

Bienvenue à Tous!

Welcome All!  I’ve been wanting to introduce you to Genevieve…she has popped up in my sketchbooks for about two years now, only in simple line drawings. The idea to bring her into the world of color and to introduce her to my friends is very recent. She’s an american who fancies herself to be french. She loves tea, flowers, birds, and trees. She wants to be present in all she does. To help her “just be!”, she loves to draw, dance, write, sing and play music, knit and crochet. At the end of it all, she just likes to sit and listen…the world is teaming with life, if she’ll only be still and listen for it!

Drop in once in a while for a spot of tea, a chat, a little respite for your day.  I’m dreaming of so many possibilities these days! I have no clue whether any of them will come to fruition or not…but it’s fun to dream!  For now, I dream of sharing with you how Genevieve deals with life.  She may be way too busy and overwhelmed, , laughing with a friend or trying to find the silver lining in life’s curve balls.  Through it all, she just wants to BE!

Be present, be peaceful, be content, be hopeful, be truthful and kind!

**Don’t worry…Drawn2Life WILL continue.  Perhaps a bit less frequently, but I could never stop drawing the life around me.  I’m drawn2life, drawn2line, drawn2color, AND Drawn2Be!
