Friday
One thing about working in a team and being surrounded by people who speak a language that you understand is that you learn things that you didn't know. I found out yesterday that a sketch of Beautrix Potter has been discovered which has been hidden for a hundred years. This fact got me spinning. The mystery and elation of something that has been hidden and is now being revealed serves as such an tantalizing story! This reminds me of a friend confessing his/her unwavering love of many years, or a plant that flowers once every three years or the arrival of a baby who has been securely growing in its mothers tummy or a basic need in Maslow's hierachy of needs- a meal after much waiting and hunger pangs.
The beauty of the wait and the knowlege of the upcoming reveal. A butterfly comes out at just the right time, once it's wings are strong enough and Yes! sometimes things "come too soon" such as a prem baby, this becomes their story!
Back to Beautrix Potters sketch being revealed, what a delight! what an elation for moms around the world who are still reading her other stories and what an honour it must be to have been asked to illustrate the book.
I shared a quote with a friend the other day, which a friend shared with me and now I am sharing with you and the quote is ...drum roll please! "beautiful things don't ask for attention"... This is part of the reason why I'm not participating on Facebook as much anymore as well as trying to stay clear of Instagram. I've uninstalled Facebook messenger and am on a winter cleaning spree! For some reason I've been trying to prove myself, trying to prove my validity when in actual fact I don't have to be part of this rat race.
In the days and weeks to come I too will be sharing my favourite quotes and I will illustrate them through my view point, not because I'm trying to prove anything but because like a friend shares his heart so I am sharing with you- my friend or mom. Mom, I know you are reading this! Thank you.
Truth is I wanted this blog 'to go big' and for many people to comment and like it but I realise now..."beautiful things don't ask for attention" and that's perfectly fine with me.
Love you mommy and big brother bear
( I know you are reading this )
Love,
