"To Love And Be Loved" Original

Layers of soft and peaceful hues of acrylic paints on a 20x20in stretched canvas.

“To Love and Be Loved” was the first lady on the scene and she really set the stage with her soft and subtle way about her. She is confident in who she is, and because of that, able to love and be loved. Let her be a reminder that this is also true for you.

The titles of each piece in this collection are woven together with lines from this “poem”

NOTE TO SELF:

Compassion. You make me come alive in ways I’ve never known before.

Allowing my heart to beat wildly with permission to love and be loved.

Centered in to the gravity and reality that all along you have carried me.

Held me.

Protected me.

Listened to me.

All along you were there, and I remember.

I remember the ways you spoke to me in my heart, my head, my gut, and my dreams.

Leading me in the way of wisdom and truth.

Leading me back to you.

Compassion, you make me come alive mind, body, and spirit;

you are worthy of loving and

I am committed to leaning in and listening.

I am coming home to you.
