What is Spring without the "I"?

Molly Dove Bird 9/12/2002--5/3/2018

In my last email, I spelled out the word SPRING but missed the "I" --left the letter plumb out! I do know how to spell the word, but whenever I am lettering misspelling, and omissions are possible, even likely. Extra diligence is necessary. My dear friend and sharp-eyed co-editor of Live An Artful Life Magazine asked me if I'd noticed, NOPE, Not a clue!! Went back to my initial writing in Grammarly (an app I adore), not there either.

So, let's think on "I" in the context of S-p-r-i-n-g and change. For me this past week has been a trial of saying goodbye to my studio pup, my sidekick for nearly 16 years and let's face it, the definition of unconditional LOVE. Molly was the critter who got me moving even when the pollen turned everything yellow. She helped me slow down and listen to the wren song or even spot a Wilson's Warbler at the Cliff Dwellings near Sedona AZ during her last days, I wouldn't have been still enough to catch the motion and the song of that little beauty. And there you have it, the "I" in Spring is for INSPIRATION!

I = INSPIRATION The little Wilson's Warbler will be on my easel next! As hard as change can be, lean in for the inspiration it can give you! My muse of many years is still leading the way!
