Preparing to be more

I had a wonderful time yesterday at my last show of the year. It was held at the Kalamazoo Nature Center. We were busy all day and I met some wonderful people!  I hope they decide to do the show in the spring, too.

I love the Nature Center because it is so peaceful and tranquil.  I love the green lushness of all the trees, even this time of year.  I look at the bare trees and know they are simply preparing to be fuller, larger, and more of what they are supposed to be next year.  I love feeling I get when I walk in a forest, a feeling of being lost and exactly where I belong at the same time.

It is very appropriate that my last was at the Nature Center.  2012 has left me stripped and bare, but not empty or dead.  I am simply preparing to be more next year.
