it is Thursday... i am well aware.  however, there were simply not enough hours in the day yesterday for my weekly "wednesday's whimsy".  so here is to either a) pretending it is still Wednesday or b) enjoying a "wednesday's whimsy" a day late.  whichever you prefer!
this particular post will be the last five fine art photographs & their descriptions from the the first ever ksp art show benefiting ADOPT MORE! (in case you missed the original post, just click here!) as i type this post, the purr of my cat Beebs is soothing my racing heart & the thin sheet of white snow outside my window is brightening up my studio. ...i cannot help but smile. i don't know about you but there are a lot of different 'stresses' (for lack of a better word) going on, deadlines to be met & of course, never ever enough time to get them all done in the day... especially when you are a crazy perfectionist (let alone even the thought of holiday shopping - which i haven't even begun). yet,,, i cannot dismiss the thought of the new year so quickly approaching & feeling incredibly grateFULL for all that this past year has taught, offered & enlightened me with.
so if your world at all resembles mine slightly, i highly encourage you to take a moment, step outside, breath in the fresh winter air, watch the tree branches sway, catch your breath, smile, make a snow angel, play fetch with your dog, listen to the wind or just "be" for a second. for just a second,,, let the entire world hug you.
take 3 BIG, deeeeeep breaths. smile. because truly,,, life IS good today. no matter what, life IS good. and sometimes, just sometimes...we all need the reminder from a friend.

and lastly,,, in case you missed the last couple posts, i have placed all 20 photographs (plus a few extras!) from the ksp art show benefiting ADOPT MORE on my online gallery. happy day beautiful peeps! with love, gratitude & heart always, ksen |

| i am still in denial that it is not only already Wednesday, but also December 2nd! i don't know about you but there is SO much going on right now & definitely not enough hours in the day. just trying to keep reminding myself to make the best of each day & not think too much ahead... ha! if someone knows a better way of handling this, please fill me in!
anywho, it is indeed Wednesday which means it is time for a weekly dose of "wednesday's whimsy". in case you missed the last couple posts, i have placed all 20 photographs (plus a few extras!) from the first ever ksp art show benefiting ADOPT MORE on my online gallery. we have had such a great response to this that i have decided to extend the special...

| happy day, happy "wednesday's whimsy".
every year i find myself feeling like time is flying by even quicker than the last... do you ever feel that way?! and every year, i somehow forget exactly how crazy busy life & work get around this time of year for me. yes, tomorrow is Thanksgiving... however, in general i have been feeling particularly grateful & blessed. i feel thankFULL for my clients who have become my friends, and for their patience as i put my heart into their images during this busy time. i am thankFULL for my friends, love, pets & family who support, inspire & encourage me daily. i am thankful for knowing the abundance of what i have in the little that i need to live a truly happy life. i am thankful for our beautiful Universe, clarity, opening my heart more fully than i knew possible & second chances at a fresh new start. the beauty in all this is that this is just the beginning of my long list of gratitude.
clearly, i have had a lot on my mind lately, however also a lot on my plate. i hope to be able to better describe all my thoughts in future posts, but for now i just wanted to take a moment to say 'thank you'. thank you for taking the time to visit my lil' blog, view my work & share in on someone's life, read my heartfelt thoughts, comment here or there and make me smile. most importantly, thank you for sharing the love -- for voicing your opinion & thoughts. for not caring what anyone else thinks & listening to your heart. truly, nothing else matters.
i was emailed a very cool quote today by a friend i wanted to share : here's to another fabulous week, month, year... in which we remember to not be selfish, do for others as we would for ourselves, but also not lose ourselves in it all. we must remember to find the balance so that all aspects of our lives & the people we touch are aligned.
...and as promised from last week's post, below are the next five images & their descriptions from the first ever ksp art show benefiting ADOPT MORE! |
and just a little reminder, for those of you who had hoped to make it to the show but couldn't, or those who came & weren't able to view the entire collection due to the crowd, i have placed all 20 photographs, plus a few extras! on my online gallery!!! 
be sure to mention that you were at the event upon purchasing your wine. |

| somehow it is already Wednesday & i am still completely blown away by the incredible turnout at the first ever ksp art show benefiting ADOPT MORE. i am beyond thankFULL to everyone who came and/or supported this important cause -- it is because of YOU & the ah!mazing volunteers, the art show benefit was a HUGE success. thank you!!!
i really wanted meet everyone that came on Friday, however due to the overwhelming response, i apologize if i didn't get to personally shake your hand, or give you a big hug! i hope to have another opportunity to do so & verbally express my appreciation. truly, thank you from the bottom of my heart! there was so much love in the room that evening, my heart couldn't help but smile. thank you for that, too. thank you for reminding me the beauty in the power of our voices, our actions & in actually showing up to make a difference. Vintner's Cellar also wanted to thank everyone for coming out & visiting their location. please know that due to the terrific response, they had quite a packed house, leaving not much room to move around. however, under normal circumstances Vintner's Cellar is a very inviting & relaxing atmosphere. they would love for everyone to stop by again when they are in the area. be sure to visit their website at www.royaloakwinery.com & join the email list to be notified of new wines, events, etc., as well!
with all that said,,, for those of you who had hoped to make it to the show but couldn't, or those who came & weren't able to view the entire collection due to the crowd, i have placed all 20 photographs, plus a few extras! on my online gallery!!!
be sure to mention that you were at the event upon purchasing your wine. below is the front page of the itinerary from Friday evening, along with the first 5 prints & their descriptions for those of you who had to miss the show. every week i will be posting another 5 prints with their descriptions, as well... stay tuned! ***be sure to check out the slide show at the end of this post for a fun recap of images captured that evening, as well! |
