Word Art Wednesday #52: Wisdom and Wonder

Today's Word Art for This Busy Life and I features words of wisdom, quite literally. Socrates was a brilliant man, but even he knew that one does not accumulate wisdom and knowledge without have the curiosity to do so first! Enjoy!

Julia: Spring Portraits

I've had the pleasure of getting to know Julia for the past couple of years. Over the past year, we have gotten to know each other much better. She is a lovely friend and person to be around, I'm so glad I have her in my life. The other day, we took advantage of the beautiful weather for some springy photos. Last minute, I grabbed her beautiful gerbera daisy as a prop. Here are my favourites!

Throw Back Thursday: Word Art Beginnings

Today marks one whole year of Word Art!

If you're confused by that term, I will explain it for you. Each week, I create "word art" in Photoshop using my favourite photos and quotes. I post them here on my blog, and they are also featured each Wednesday on This Busy Life. This Busy Life is a website where all types of people share daily musings and thoughts about anything and everything. I am so thankful for the opportunity to be featured on such a wonderful and uplifting site each week.

This also led to the opening of my Etsy Shop RD Prints, where I sell prints of my Word Art.

Word Art has been a great outlet for me to express myself through creatively pairing colours, my own photography and quotes I love. It really is an honour to know that other people enjoy my art, and I hope that never ends.

So, in commemoration of my Word Art's one year anniversary, I will post my first ever Word Art. This was posted on April 18, 2012. Thank you to everyone who shared this journey with me!

Word Art Wednesday #51: It Takes Courage

Sometimes the seemingly simplest things turn out to be the hardest to do. Growing up and remaining the truest version of yourself, unhindered by others is not an easy task by any means. This Busy Life and I love the way E. E. Cummings' poetic style encapsulates this fear. It really does take courage to become who we were meant to be all along.

Word Art Wednesday #50: Finding Peace

This Busy Life and I love this week's Word Art quote by Virginia Woolf. Rather than avoiding issues, go out and solve them. Then, you will find true peace.

Word Art Wednesday #49: Have Faith

Today's Word Art for This Busy Life and I is simple, but it hits close to home. Living in a world where there are so many struggles, it's easy to get discouraged and give up. Hold on, have faith that things will get better.

Easter Weekend

I spent my Easter Weekend with my closest family at my older sister's new place. It was so great to have a break from the everyday for a beautiful weekend together. We took a day trip to this gorgeous covered bridge and gorge. Enjoy!
