The Plan

Everything is just as it should be....

there is a plan,

It's just not mine.

I just have to wake up, 

dress up, 

and show up. 

Then ...

do the next 'right' thing.

I have to have faith that there is a plan, 

and it's better than any plan that I could ever dream up.

Have a great week

I really go for a deep saffron or marigold yellow......it makes my soul shiny. and i need that!!!

This first room just drives home the notion that YELLOW can be KING

in the right setting.

Right?

Now my living room is painted the honeysuckle rose color.

Art, antiques seem to feel very much at home with it. 

If only I really knew more history about the history of colors/

Where shall I go?
