There is an Indian proverb or axiom that says that everyone is a house with four rooms, a physical, a mental, an emotional, and a spiritual. Most of us tend to live in one room most of the time but, unless we go into every room every day, even if only to keep it aired, we are not a complete person. A House with Four Rooms by Rumer Godden I haven’t read this book, but I created a sticker for my planner to plan on how I will visit each of my four rooms everyday.

A beautiful butterfly from the butterfly conservatory in #scottsdaleaz . Today I used the picture to add to the learning plan I made for my daughter to keep track of her online assignments. Check out my stories or bio to download it for your kid.

Last night I was wondering how on earth I’d get through these next few weeks with school shut down and my regular routine that quite literally keeps me sane, disrupted. Today, while driving my youngest to day care, we saw this beautiful fog rainbow . It felt like a promise that things will be ok

I made a promise to myself a while ago that I would learn to draw. I didn’t have to be great at it, I would just learn to get the images in my head onto paper. I knew I wouldn’t get better overnight, I decided if I just drew a little bit every week, I’d start to improve. While I’m no Picasso, I feel like my pencil goes the way I want it to a lot more lately. I always thought I wasn’t artistic but had so much creativity inside of me. It feels wonderful to let it out! Thanks @bardotbrush for your #makingarteveryday prompts so I can fulfill my dream of being able to draw!
