A rambling blog about the adventures of a mom of two with a new, not empty (!) nest...who is looking forward to inspired journeys into the worlds of photography, art, running, scrapbooking, and gardening.

LOVE this quote.
"I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things,
trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing
yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done
before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something. So that's my wish for you, and for all of us, and my wish for myself.
Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes
nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that
it isn't good enough, or isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love,
or work or family or life. Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it. Make your mistakes, next year and forever." - Neil Gaiman
