Love is a kite.
It carries you up
to a terrifying height
until you can see
the future, the past and now.
Love is art.
Only the heart
can hold steady,
ride the wind,
dance aflame and remain the same.

Note: My 6 year old daughter and I spent the afternoon making Valentine art. You see mine above. My hubby asked if I planned to put it on my website, and I said no. He said, you should. So I listened, with my heart, and here it is. I hope it lifts you up, as it did me. Happy Valentine’s Day! Warmly, Brenda

Your Kite of Love was amazing, Brenda! ♡
I am wondering if maybe you should do this more often, Brenda? Photographs are beautiful but my preschoolers that I worked with for 9 years preferred drawings in books much more than real photos. 🙂 They didn’t need to be perfect!

It’s always fun doing art projects with youngsters. 🙂 My girls and I used to spread out on the living room floor and color. It’s a Christmas tradition now with all my kids and grandkids. 🙂

Actually everyone sits around quiet for about an hour with their dollar store holiday coloring books and new box of crayons. It’s like a Christmas miracle! 🙂
