I promise myself that I will enjoy every minute of the day that is given me to live.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
I’m treasuring my last few moments with these two little boys and my sweet husband before the arrival of baby boy #3. And I’m savoring my last few days of feeling this new baby moving inside me.
We don’t know what changes will come our way. We can only know that there will be some sleep deprivation and time needed to adjust to having a newborn in our home again. But everything else…we’ll just have to wait and see. (Having a baby is the ultimate test of surrender and letting go, isn’t it?)
So now…we simply wonder…
enjoy the simple moments together…
and we wait…
Your Personal Reflection:
Enjoy each moment of your day today while you wait for what’s to come.

A Give-Away!
Since I’m taking a break from leading e-courses through the rest of the year, I want to share with you one that I truly love that begins October 1st!
My friend, Amelia Critchlow, is the creator of the amazing online experience:
Experimental Art E-course.
I’ve taken many e-courses over the years and I can honestly say this is one of my very favorites! I love it so much because Amelia really has a gift for taking your creativity to a whole new level. For 9-weeks, you get the chance to explore a variety of art methods in innovative ways that allow the natural artist in YOU (we are all artists!!) to come out.
This class is perfect for those who have a creative calling inside, but have been afraid to get started. Or maybe you are simply beginning and want to learn new techniques. Or maybe you consider yourself a professional artist, but in need of new inspiration. Or perhaps you are searching for a creative tribe of like-minded individuals who you can share your creative journey with. This class is definitely worth checking out!
Give-away now closed.
And the winner of the random drawing is…
CAROLINE!
You can sign up directly by visiting: Experimental Art E-course with Amelia Critchlow.
(You also receive a free sketchbook & art gift when you register!)
Since your course is one of my favourites and you say this is be of your faves then I have to enter. I am so excited for you and can’t wait to hear the announcement of baby’s arrival, but it is great that you are cherishing and enhpjoying this moment with your boys.
Your e-course was one of my favorites so if this is recommended by you, then I know that it will be good. Thank you for the opportunity to win a spot! I am excited for your new journey as a mother of 3 to begin! I wish you all the very best as you wait and wonder. Enjoy the moments! Love to you and your family.
What an exciting time. How peaceful you and the boys look against the calm water.
I would love a chance to win a little respark-the-art class. Thank you.
Love your blog & would love to win!
Good luck for the baby’s arrival. It’s so exciting! I would LOVE to win the e-class, it looks interesting!
My creativity certainly could use a bump. 🙂 Having enjoyed your courses, I would love to try one that you recommend.
Oh, Shannon, how amazing! I mean, thinking of your “pupils” while being on the verge of bringing forth new life. How are you doing it? Is ART the key? If so, I would LOVE to be part of Amelia’s e-course! The same as I LOVED and ENJOYED being part of your e-course, no matter how far I came along 😉 I LOVE experiments and if those are all about ART, what more can I wish for in a period where my little one becomes slowly but steadily more and more independent? Yes, he is beginning to walk alone! Time is so running. Enjoy your new little bundle of Joy alongside your bigger bundles of Joy and your amazing husband ;))
Did I miss the drawing already? Regardless, I’m excited for your family, Shannon. What a fantastic adventure. The Experimental Art course sounds wonderful and just the kind of kick-start I need right now. I can’t even remember the last time I spent in my art room creating. 🙁
