"What season am I?" she wondered. "Am I Spring's youthful flirting, Or Summer's free spirit? Am I Fall's dreamy melancholy, Or Winter's deep reflections?" . "Which am I?" she pondered. "Am I one of those, none, or could it be... I'm all of them together, thriving side by side?" #aphotoaday #nature #texas #hillcountry #whoami #woman #seasons #ourbeautifulworld #lifewelllived #simplepleasures #simplertimes #motivationalquotes #inspirationalquotes #quoteoftheday #writersofi

This proud red kalanchoe has been my companion for over 30 years. I got it back in my very first apartment and moved it with me from home to home, from the little basket it came in, to the bigger terracota pot, the small patio bed, and presently my home's backyard. At every place I take it, it confidently settles its roots deep down the soil and shoots its brightest blooms up towards the stars, surviving the move and Mother Nature's frequent mood swings. Though it knows this

"In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art."

Don't know 'bout your week, but know about mine. Work then sleep, and there went the time. Ain't nothing to stop me, tonight I will say, Life's too short, to keep fun at bay. Treating myself to an exquisite meal, With good friends galore and weather surreal. These three no doubt any pain will heal, And a glass of fine wine will sure seal the deal... Cheers my friends! Happy Friday. #aphotoaday #cherishedmemories #lifewelllived #cheers #wine #texassky #goodtimes #good

Houston Lebanese Festival this past weekend. An amazing experience and two magical days. Thought I'd share a telling comment from one of the festival attendees, one with no ties to Lebanon: "I am very glad I came to the festival yesterday. I had a very unique experience.... The feel, the vibe, art, people and words were all magical… I went to bed reminiscing about it... Woke up today but I'm still in yesterday's thoughts. I'm very fortunate to see it, experience and feel it

An amazing Saturday at the Houston Lebanese festival. Loved every minute. Humbling reactions to my art pieces. So grateful for all the encouragements. ❤ Can't wait for tomorrow! #aphotoaday #cherishedmemories #art #stories #mycreations #lebanesefestival #sugarland #nostalgia #home #visionsofhome #yesteryears #lifewelllived #simplepleasures #simplertimes #motivationalquotes #inspirationalquotes #quoteoftheday #writersofinstagram #goodreads #goodvibes #thesoundofmyheart #live

Sorry mama, it was not supposed to be this way... Sorry I left and went so far. Sorry that, though I may have been there for the big things, I have not been there for the little ones. The times you needed me to laugh with you, at the blink of an eye, at something only the two of us would understand, to put your head on my shoulder when you werehaving a bad day and no one else was around, to share your excitement at a new thing you learned, to tell you how pretty you looked

"Purple, yellow, pink, and white, Everywhere I lay my sight. Has nature risen from sleep? Or was it I who dozed so deep? Must've been a rain of flowers. Must've slept and missed the showers. Oh no, wait. I know my dear. It was not rain. SPRING IS HERE."

We are usually attracted by the apparent beauty of things and often distracted from looking beyond the surface and the obvious, though this is where true character and meaningful beauty typically reside. The top side of this embroidery piece made by an amazing lady is beautiful. But I was even more impressed by the character of the other side, the one that will lie in the shadow, away from the spotlight, the side no one may ever lay eyes on. It told me the story of the real
