I am thankful for…
nights that turned into mornings,
friends that turned into family,
and dreams that turned into reality.*
As I spend time this week with some bestie friends that have become like family…
and got to experience this sunrise yesterday morning on the beach…
I thought it apropos to share this quote I found that resonates so deeply with me.
Wishing all of this and more for you as well.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

I thought you might like that Laura. Maybe you want to try and paint it π I tried and did not like what I did. Tried too hard! Tried loosely interpreting and liked much better. Yes – I did bring a little travel watercolor kit here to the beach π Haven’t done much. Enjoying the company of my buddies too much π

I think feeling a scene is key! I hope you go on with your photos, because the wind and the waves you experienced will come right into your painting with you. I’m glad you’re painting there; you’ll never forget it. Watercolor is so portable and perfect to take anywhere! Enjoy, my sweet! π

Thank you (and our other two friends) for taking the time away from your families to spend this week together. The days have been relaxing and evenings spent laughing. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of women to spend this time with! ππβπ
