Ah, Spring! Although old man winter made one last appearance, colorful blooms and warmer weather is here, for the most part. This season holds such a variety of types of weather…warm and sunny, cold and snowy, windy and chilly. I love it because the first flowers make their way into the landscape, which grows greener by the day.

Trips are planned and spring recipes are enjoyed once again. Welcome, spring, welcome.

“In the spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours.” - Mark Twain

I see it as storytelling. I love photography and writing. Partly, it’s a platform for self-expression and a way to eventually work from home but it’s largely about making good memories; whether it’s in the home, traveling, making a delicious meal, baking a sweet treat, painting a positive image or capturing something with photography. They’re all opportunities to make new, lasting memories. In today’s world, although so much of it is still wonderful and lovely, some of it is troubling, sad or frightening. Anything we can do to spread some positivity and comfort is welcome and a chance for our loved ones and friends to draw on those memories when we’re not physically with them one day. Here’s to making amazing memories and creativity!

These inspirational quotes are from Ali Heath’s book Create At Home with Old and New

“ New pieces will always have a place but ethical and sustainable choices will help ensure a better future and more timeless decisions.” - Ali Heath

“Remind yourself regularly that you are creative…everyone is born with a creative side, but some choose not to believe this or suppress it through fear of failure. If you lose the monkey on your shoulder, you can simply enjoy the act of creativity and the pressure disappears.” - Ali Heath

“Creators are driven by what is and what can be…with heads full of ideas that have already taken shape, are in progress and still only exist in their imagination. It is never a race, so trust in the divine timing of things.” - Ali Heath
