Sistahs are doin' it

My new Shutter Sisters photo challenge is up! It's all about ugly-beautiful.

I've been so moved reading Jen Lemen stories from her trip to Rwanda.

Fell instantly in love with this book The Blood of Flowers and it's powerful and feisty main character. I passed it along to Matt and he loved it as well.

The talented Kelly Rae and Mati Rose are hosting a painting retreat in Italy this summer! You can also pre-order Kelly Rae's new book Taking Flight right now.

And finally, I am SO excited to announce that SARK's new book Juicy Pens, Thirsty Paper: Gifting the World with Your Words and Stories, and Creating the Time and Energy to Actually Do It will be out this August. I have been anxiously awaiting this book for years... and now more than ever, it is exactly the book I need to read. I trust it will provide just the creative spark I have been looking for to free myself up and get my stories out there into the world. Thank you for writing this Susan! I'm off to order my advance copy.

Andrea, I am still following your blog since 2005! I have to say, I actually have been lurking since 2006. Anyway, you had turned me on to SARK and when I saw your post, before I even read it, I knew it was her and I wanted to comment again, finally after all of this time! Thank you Andrea for just being you and seeing the beauty in so many people and things around you!

Love, Michele

I think I just stumbled into a great blog site. Thanks for sharing.I'm struggling with some health issues and you bring joy to my life with your "uplifts." BTW,speaking of uplifts, I just discovered a neat website that is helping me with my stress--www.haplecrone.com--I put the word stress into his search engine and was blown away with all of the good stuff.Please keep blogging for all of us that enjoy your words.

What an absolutely fantastic portrait of the beautiful Sark! So at peace, so real, so clearly happy. I am inclined to trust a person's advice who life bares fruit like that. She walks her talk and it obviously works.

What a fantastic book title, I want it already!
