Lately

I've been so busy working on projects in my backyard that I failed to post a Lately last weekend. We've had so much rain this holiday weekend that I was unable to work in the yard which gave me time to catch-up on some posts and some artsy endeavors. Here are a few pics during the torrential storms:

Have a great week!

Wishcasting Wednesday :: What space do you wish to create?

Thank you for joining me for this week's Wishcasting Wednesday. If you'd like to join this magical circle of dreamers and doers, please visit Jamie Ridler Studios.

This week's prompt:

What space do you wish to create?

I wish to create a space where I can be healthy and happy. A space of peace and comfort, inspires creativity and promotes deep reflection. I've taken the time for reflection lately and have come to the conclusion that the city and state I currently live in is no longer my home. 

Several years ago I traveled through Colorado and fell in love, especially with Boulder. It felt so right. Right here, right now I would like to finally put my wish out into the universe. I wish to move to Boulder, Colorado. Even though it's over 1,600 miles away, I wish to create a space in Boulder that I can call home. 

Thanks for wishing along with me!

Hugs,

Lately

Visioning from a distance. I was unable to attend Hannah's latest workshop at The Loft so I attended in spirit and followed along on Instagram #loftvisionnight.

Speaking of Instagram, I've been more active with this app as of late. You can find me @amandastclair.
