Recent Inspirations
We headed up North to the Rocky Crest Resort in Muskoka last weekend. It was originally just a golf weekend for my husband Joe and my brother-in-law Stephen, but my sister, my niece/nephew, and I decided to tag along for the pleasure of getting close to nature (and the spa). Here are some beautiful things that we found while the guys were golfing.....
We anticipated cool weather in northern Ontario in September, but it turned out to be full of sun and warmth, a perfect weekend to hang out in and around the outdoor pool, and eating ice-cream, picking acorns from the ground.

Happy 3rd!
Today is our 3rd wedding anniversary. Joe and I have shared our first 3 magical years together, basically enjoying each other and the world, and learning a lot together.
It has been wonderful, day after day, season after season, to have heartful of joy, in love, together.
Hand in hand with someone you love and adore, to be in a happy moment and already anticipating for the next.... be it a cook-in dinner at home, or a fancy dinner with a star, be it a DVD night at home, or an opera night at La Scala, be it a simple grocery shopping trip down at the T&T, or strolling through the streets of the world's most exotic street markets......and knowing that we will always always be coming home together, cuddling in each other's arm when we fall asleep. This is magic.
Got to go... still have some errands to run to prepare for our celebration tonight.

Tante Elsbett's 90th Birthday
I created this card for Tante Elsbett's 90th Birthday on Saturday.
If it's "....terribly strange to be 70..." as in Simon & Garfunkel's song "Old Friends", can you imagine what it is like to be 90?

A Hesitant Flyer - First Blog (ever)!
Today is a day of celebration, because I have created my first blog page/blog ever, ever. The irony is, I have dreamt of this kind of writing and sharing since my early teens. For the longest time, I thought no one would ever be interested in what I have to write and to share. I have come across a few blogs over the years, but not enough to convince me that I could do it. Perhaps I had too much demons and doubts all along. But while I was sleeping, the world have so drastically evolved, into one where my old dreams are no longer the timid, humble, private dreams that I had to kept to myself many light years ago.
I have longed to take part in the creative world, a world that would enable me to find my “self”. I guess I am sort of a closeted art maker. I used to write letters to my dearest friend Monica (who was my one and only loyal reader), and have occasionally incorporated drawings, collages, and inserted art works in these letters. I loved designing cards to send to friends and family. But they were just something that I did for very private eyes, because they were not considered “real art”.
I know my heart always jumps with joy and excitment whenever I paint, do crafting, or write... things that nurture and inspire my creative soul. But being A Hesitant Flyer, I eventually resigned myself to the practicality in life, thus have given up the idea of pursuing the path in the arts/creative. It was all or nothing for me.
After so many years of hiding behind my own insecurities and fears, for the first time, I have decided to venture out of my comfort (actually” discomfort”) zone, and started this blog. I am setting out to strengthen my aspirations to exercise my full potential as a human being, or as an artist. I am hoping to meet like-minded people out there, and to find my “self” and my voice on this new, exciting journey.

I can’t imagine where I would be if I wasn’t such a hesitant flyer 20 odd years ago, but there is no need to mourn for the time lost, for it is better late than never.
