Finding Peace

I enjoyed the creative process in making this piece.

For those who often ask about my process, 

I took an older digital piece of mine 

that was originally created from my picture of a bird in flight

(the black and white birds)

and mixed it with a two textures...one I made myself 

from digital apps on my iPhone

and another texture from Shadowhouse Creations.

I worked with masks and blending modes

until I was able to achieve the effect I was looking for.

Finding Peace.

Isn't that what we all strive for...

the happy place between opposite forces of nature;

good/evil

black/white

hot/cold?

That place where everything seems to be at balance?

In a crazy hectic world, balance and stability

can bring such peace to a soul, can it not?

Today I am thankful for the balance I have found in my work life.

Recently I went through a struggle with my health that

forced me to make a decision about my career

and it was very difficult for me.

I had to redefine what normal was for me

and come to peace with it.

Not only have I come to peace with it,

but I have embraced it with vigor and happiness.

It has taken a while, but I've arrived at a peaceful place.

And for that, I am most thankful.

For those that know me,

you are aware of how much I love to teach.

Today I have the opportunity to do just that...

I am off to my "old" office to train a new staff member

and I am very much looking forward to it.

Peace. <3
