Joy & Grace at the museum

My goodness... joy & Grace at the museum. 

How I feel right now... I must write. 

I see this little girl...she is becoming a young women. Her talents are leading me, guiding me. I once told someone that she is an old soul, wise, much wiser than me, and maybe in another life, she was my mother. 

She truly is graceful. I am blessed. 

Words I shared with a friend after leaving this space. This space in time that I want to exist in a memory keeper,  and wear around my neck like a charm. 

"I almost wanted to cry because I felt such a belonging in this space. This is what I had envisioned and tried to create at the #artintheshoppingcart's #mockgallery and when I heard there was an opportunity to actually have it in a real museum ... I just knew I had to follow through. When I walked in the doors and saw this, I just felt like it was mine. I know that sounds weird and don't mean that to be proudful but, I felt comfortable, as if this would be something I could do, be part of and create. It made me feel like what I am doing, is what I should, not just for me but for them, my Littles and for other children. Not so sure why, but I do know it's right." 

Gigi's art is at the very top of the row she's pointing.  It was awesome to see all the children's art work. So many different styles and mediums used. 

The artwork took up two floors of the museum. We were there a lot longer than I thought we would be. Looking at everything. Taking it all in, not just the children's art, but the masterpieces too. 

We talked about what it must have been like to create something like that.

 Little Em liked the dolls,  of course.

There was a little reception.  Cookies at the museum. That was pretty special. I took more pictures with my nice camera I will have to share.

This is one they took of us there. 

And then it was time to leave. 

Suddenly we are not feeling so small. 

This vast world we live in has a place for our creating hearts. Us three. We might not ever be renown artists, we might not ever be considered great, but I know in my heart of hearts, that we are special, important, and meant to create, and we will continue to do so as long as it brings us joy. 

I am so grateful for this time, right now, in my life, the energy I feel,  the family I have,  the beauty that can be found when I look around. I know that to everything there is a season and I hope this will be a long Spring.

 I know there will come a time when all my Littles will be gone from home, as I feel it already with my two big Littles. I hope, I pray, I'll remember this day, and if I am somehow bored or feeling alone,  I will go down to the museum, be in this space, and feel the energy once more. 

From me to you with love, M
