Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that, because what the world needs is people who come alive.

Hi everyone,
ReplyDeleteso glad you enjoyed this mandala, and recognized all the elements I was trying to bring to it. In part it was created with a specific theme in mind. I've been invited to be part of an exhibition titled Women about Women, so Svasti, you nailed the women supporting women aspect. I wanted to work out the idea on a small scale, before possibly creating it similarly, large. We've also had some spring like weather - rains and warmer temperatures had me seeing ahead towards the fresh colors and growth of spring.
Thanks again, for all your thoughtful responses! with love, Karin
Wow, what a beautiful piece! There is just so much to take in. The colours are full of promise.
ReplyDeleteKarin, I'm gob-smacked. Thank you. xoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteKarin I didn't expect such a beautiful journal post today. Maybe because I feel like crap.
ReplyDeleteOh Karin, it is so beautiful. Lean on me dear one. Let's hold on to each other.
Have you had round 2 yet.
xoxoxo
That is just so stupid, if you need the zofran, you need it. And clearly you need it.
ReplyDeleteAre you eating popsicles, anything dry even like potato chips is good too. Do not drink when you are eating it will make you nauseated. You need to drink lots but don't do it while you are eating.
I love you.
xoxoxo
Hi Karin...your work is just divine!! I have been browsing through your blog..wow!! Found you through sweet Renee..thought I would pop by and say hello!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried chamomile tea..sometimes helps the nausea..try it iced..it might help. Stupid insurance!!!
Hang in there, Sarah
thank you for the tips Renee and Sarah - I will do all you've suggested. I have kept the no drinking with food tip Renee, but still haven't gotten popsicles. I seem to be well hydrated, and I'm doing better today... thanks again, xox
