Good Morning to you on this happy Sunday :)
How could I not blab blab and blab some more about this wonderful journey?
My calendar is going to be a mess of "X's" before March 1st...!!!
It's a countdown baby. Now when I go to California in November I can try out a wide angle lens and take some beach shots for practice. I really cannot tell you how elated I am!!!Do you have any book recommendations for those of us who are coming to Jordan? Any background reading we could do before hand?
That painting is beautiful. The eyes and lips are masterfully done...so realistic-yet has that dreamlike quality that makes it so ethereal.
I like you believe wholeheartedlly in dreams...they lay the foundation for manifesting whatever we can imagine. Never give up on your dreams. xoxo
