A few weeks ago I participated in a Gift of Jewels which Se'Lah at Necessary Room had organized in conjunction with Ethopian New Year. Each participant was to send a card or post card whether homemade or store purchased, to someone that Se'Lah had partnered us with.
This is the beautiful card that Leslye created from her photography and it was sent to me on the first day of autumn.
This is the quote that was included on the inside of the card. It arrived on exactly the day it was meant to arrive...on the day I most needed to read this.
Consult not your fears but your hopes and dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what is still possible for you to do. ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes
This glimpse into beauty and knowledge has sustained me for the week. I suspect it will continue to do so.

I love keys in art! :)
I love the symbolism of the key.
And I too will be taking that quotation to heart.

That is the most wonderful quote! I will be saving that one, I can't think of anyone who wouldn't benefit from keeping those words in mind. You received a beautiful card too!
That card is wonderful and I love the quote. Holmes is a favorite of mine.

And I love that the leaves are hearts upsidedown!
De-Lovely! I just love when God speaks to us through others...
