Nine years ago when I stepped into
my first blog post
I started the odyssey from which
all of us begin:
all of us begin:

And like the seasons of the earth change
from one canvas to another

My home was too small of a space

to fit into the trends
imprinted by business-minded influencers
way ahead of their ideas
and
who dazzled the blog world.
So instead,
Castles Crowns and Cottages
developed
from the playful heights of poetic expression

where I met like-minded soul sisters
whose imaginations with wings tell a story.
We soared, together.
But
The calendar snatches from our clutch
that rare flower
that we think will bloom for us
forever.

Fallen petals
become seeds of faith
that are buried under layers
of years
where an invisible growth
plots to return
with
a new you
that says

A safe and successful landing
to all of you
wishing to make your dreams
a reality
as you learn what it really takes
to be an artist in the age of changing
seasons.
