Thanks everyone for helping me reach 10k+ views. So tell me...if you were to catch say the 10,333 (or first one nearest after that), what would you ask me to do for you? Please answer in the comments. :3

And in the spirit of keeping this short and sweet...Happy Holidays everyone! My hope is that you all find much of all that you most need, want, and perhaps may not realize you most need and desire...now and for the coming year.

Much love to you all!

Hello everyone!

How are you all? My hope is that these autumnal days shower you not only with colourful leaves and the sky's droplets but also warm and inpiration in your art, daily lives all around.

Again another delay in "my vision of my art, writing, photography".

My time, heart, attention are quite taken up by a number of family and personal obligations these days. I would ask of those who are or the praying type, if you might keep my family in your thoughts and prayers while a number of relatives undergo chemotherapy and others wait for life to do what it will. There, is where the journal title comes from...so now you can see her(my) heart, obviously a play on cancer that's so very present in my family at this time.

For all of you, thanks again for being and remaining here, watchful and thanks for your understanding as I am in this quiet period on dA. It is necessary for me to be there for my family, to take time for myself as well. I hope to post again soon but only time will tell when that will be possible. I will try to keep in touch and keep an eye on all of you as well in the meantime. You, your art and words are all so soothing in times like these. Thank you for sharing of yourselves so selflessly.

Much love to you all!

Hello everyone!

It's 10:10pm...I have a time thing Go figure. And yes, I think of something special. I don't make a "wish" but I do have something in mind. Do you ever do that?

Anyhow...as per my previous journal, I'd meant to write before now but as usual, a lot has been going on. This time perhaps more so than usual and I haven't been around to actually write what I meant to or update this journal until now. I'll get to how I see my art thing at a later time though.

I really do hope you've all enjoyed your summer, vacations, whatever you've been up to and are headed towards a most brilliant, lively season of autumn or spring (depending on where you are in the world). Either way, may the coming weeks and months be filled with aromas, colours, sensations, sounds...a vibrancy that renews you inside and out in all the ways you may need it, when you most need it and inspire you to go onto those paths you see before you.

And as always, thank you all for being here. I truly am so grateful, thankful for you all...for who you are in each your own unique way. I sure had a hard time imagining being anywhere near 9k views when I started on dA and yet, here I am headed towards 10k...and it's all thanks to you!

Cheers and much love to you all!

I hope you're all enjoying your summer!

I'll soon be posting a bit of an explanation re my approach to art/photo/lit here and such. It should also cover my change to how I'll be posting on dA and journals. I'd like to find a way to keep you guys updated as to what's going on and whatnot but moving away from the journaling/blogging type of thing so...if anyone has any questions, perhaps you could note me.

I apologize for sounding "stuffy" (ahem - oh so serious). If I find any other way, I'll certainly do it or if anyone has any suggestions, please pass them along! I do welcome ideas, suggestions, etc.

Cheers and thanks!

Okay, so I was tagged. Yay ! This one can go in so many directions but here's what I did with it. Boring, perhaps. Me, in part only. Whatever the case, it's always so hard to come up with things to say about yourself and once it's done a million things start flooding in. How unfair is that? And yet...so darn natural. There's no more pressure, right? Well, whatever. This is it, this time. ;3

Rules
1) Post these rules
2) Post 8 true things about yourself
3) At the end you must tag 8 people and post their icons
4) Go to their page and send them a message saying you tagged them
5) NO TAG-BACKS

1. I'm a tree hugger. Literally. I LOVE my trees, plants, flowers...nature! <3

2. I am emo-tional. I smile, laugh, cry, or blow up pretty easily. I'm an intense feeling kinda gal but I tend to try and minimize the expressions. Generally speaking I'm happy, positive and peaceful...in tune with my energizing habitat (my nature spot). :3

3. I'm not all prim, proper and nice as I may seem to be.(Or as may be believed of me.) I can be quite a *bleep* and I like to play in the mud too but no, I do not pick my nose. That said, I tend to feel guilty about it right away and apologize if I feel I'm in the wrong. And if I was disrespectful, that's plenty enough for me to apologize.

4. I would love to learn to fly. I mean, pilot a plane. Although, if humans could have wings and fly, that'd be pretty awesome too!

5. I love ravens/crows. So many people keep telling me they're annoying and awful but I've had this attraction to them ever since I was little. I believe they have much more positive symbolism and are quite awesome! Have you ever heard them coo? It's really sweet! <3

6. I'm full of contradictions, contrasts, dualities and such. If I don't seem to make sense, I don't mind people asking but what I do not like is assumptions about how I feel, think, am. (Those who have tread upon those waters know how they burn.)

7. I do have some form of belief in respect of self and other. It seems to go a long way in the line of balance and my way of seeing the interconnectedness of things/people/our world/life...

8. I'm not all serious and stuff. I DO love to laugh and have been known to have a pretty good sense of humour. Err, I'm pretty sillycrazy. (Believe it or nawt!)

And now...drumroll please!
I TAG:
Have fun, everyone!
*hugs*
