February is my birthday month.
For the last month, I have been trying to capture how I feel about turning 50. I had some amazing plans to share my thoughts in writing, in photos, in little pictures, and. . . . BUT, the writer and artist did nearly nothing.
EXCEPT that I have been silently experiencing a sense of AWE. I can’t believe how blessed I am. How did I make it to this place in time?
While many see me as overcoming great obstacles, I don’t see my life in the same way. Not really. Instead I see myself as being fully alive and navigating all that is. With each and every step, I am surrounded by angels, loved ones, friends, and family. I am loved on so many levels, by so many people.
I am NEVER alone. NEVER. WOW!!!
With 50 years old coming this Saturday, I have decided to ask for the one gift I truly want. I would love your help in creating a piece of work that I have been calling the ‘DANCE OF EMERGENCE’. For nearly a year, I have been writing messages to myself through words and simple pics; I have also been asking a few close friends to add to what will be my very unique vision board. I owe a few friends the canvas rectangles and I am wondering if any of you would like to help too. If so, I will mail put the canvas rectangles in the mail on Friday morning, the day before my birthday.
Directions for your 3 x 4 inch canvas:
- Use any permanent medium you want to decorate the canvas.
- No need to worry about borders – you will see what I mean when I put it together.
- Email me your home address in Facebook or email.
- Return within three days if at all possible.
- What do I want on the canvas? a saying, a picture from your heart, a blessing, a word, or . . . .
In the rectangles that I have previously created, I have included:
- little pictures
- verses from poems, prayers, songs, and Torah
- sayings
- favorite words
- and so much more. . .
On my birthday, I will take the time to create a larger canvas with a picture from my heart and the words ‘DANCE OF EMERGENCE’.
Let me know if you want to join me as I celebrate my life and my future.
Thank you for being part of my life.
With love, light, and blessings,
Chava
