When I was younger Rachel Carson taught me the meaning of courage in the face of adversity. And when I grew older she taught me how to be a better parent.
even if we speak no French, we might do well to take these lines to heart
I first came to Saint Ex through his aviation writing. It was only later that I discovered The Little Prince, but it has been that book more than any other that I have gifted to friends and loved ones. And it has been this passage that I have wanted to share most.
oops!
Mistakes happen. (If you're not making mistakes, you're not trying new things.) But every mistake is a new opportunity to learn and grow. (And, in the long run, mistakes don't matter; after all, who can remember how many times they fell down in the process of learning how to walk?) Let the mistakes commence!

Preview Note: Along with the regular article next week look for a new prize give-away: this time pens! (Yep, that's plural. In fact, I'll be giving away two sets of pens!) Hope to see you then. (And remember, if you don't want to miss future articles -- and give-aways -- there are now three ways to subscribe.)
Ciao!
Wonderful!!!! I loved them all...but my favourite was the one that showed the "mistakes"!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely splendid! The combination of heart-to-heart quotes and the hand-drawn and -lettered pieces is exceptional! Makes me want to do something similar...perhaps during the dead of winter when I find one seeks inspiration more desperately than under the summer sun.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the quotes that make you tick!

I love these! The one that resonates with me the most is the quote by Rachel Carson. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you Hwee. Ms. Carson was a very special person. I, like so many others, first got to know her through Silent Spring. But it was her gentle strength and love for humanity (especially children) that really inspired me most.
DeleteReally like your quotes. Will have to illustrate one day picasso`s about inspiration that likes to find you at work. Nice to follow you!
