i love this song so much.
i was so inspired by a recent photography prompt, that i decided to make a little word art/typography/calligraphy project of part of the lyrics.
this time of year, with graduation only a few weeks away, i’ve see a lot of inspirational/motivational quotes going around.  most of them are about embracing the future and living your dreams.  but i might also like to assert here that pursuing a dream isn’t something reserved for young adults.  that fresh starts and second chances are gifts that each of has – no matter what age bracket we find ourselves in.
the good news is that it is never too late.  there are no rules and everyday starts with a blank page.  a rich, meaningful life is available for each of us…even middle-aged, empty-nesting mommas.
i ended up printing out and taping this little piece to the front of a new notebook and i wondered if these lyrics might speak to you too.  if so, feel free to download it here (personal use only please).
today i would like to encourage you to think about what makes you come alive inside. think about what chapters you would like to read in your story.  then set out about writing it down.  get messy…color outside the lines…whatever.  just start.
i believe that our Heavenly Father has planted {A}rt in each of our souls, and it is our life’s purpose and our greatest joy to discover it.
so start today.
love, kelly

Such a wonderful message here and your word art is beautiful! I think when we cease to dream, we cease to be.
Kelly, your compositions are beautiful. I love the table with its peeling finish. Your calligraphy is beautiful as well.
Lovely images. Your post did speak to me today. I printed out your beautiful piece and taped it to the wall right in front of me. Thank you. Yes, art is in our souls just waiting to be discovered…
