My Christmas Wish ( Hatch)

Wishing with all my heart, might and soul that you and yours will have the most blessed and happiest Holiday. And may good things be hatched in the New Year!!!
Here are some of my Holiday wishes for you.
1. That you will grow where you are planted. ( If you don't like where you are stop complaining about it and do something about it!) Stop giving all your power and authority to people who don't care about you. You care about you!!! You are valuable and precious. A promise!!!
2. That you will dream bigger than yourself! ( You can't share your dreams with everybody.
Sometimes you are already battling your own self doubt why bring someone else's negativity into the mix. Remember, you can't put a 18x24 vision in a 3x5 card mind! Get somewhere quite and dream as big as you want. Write it down or draw it out. If you don't have a vision for it you won't know how to handle it when it comes. Feel the joy of it. Feel the
moment and watch what happens! Dreams really do come true he he he!!
3. That you will have all the encouragement and support you need when you need it most. ( Who have you encouraged in the last 30 days? Heck, when was the last time you encouraged You he he he??? When we give even the smallest bit of encouragement to someone we get a bigger return. You get to make someone feel so special and this creates more good energy! Some of you will never ever know how much you have encouraged and supported me. I could just cry thinking about it. Your words have been like medicine to me. Giving me much laughter, healing and comfort. I wish you all the same. Hugs a plenty!
Happy Holidays
Peace

Vanessa, thank you for your kind comments on my blog and the very encouraging words here--words that I need during a particularly difficult period of my life! Both your work and your writing is incredibly thoughtful. Many blessings to you and your family this holiday season!

Vanessa,
Your words are absolutely perfect, and do deal specifically with some things I have been mulling in the *Giant Brain* (think Mojo Jojo on the PowerPuff Girls....HA!)
After I am back on my feet, there are some things I'm doing differently, and it ain't the walking-with-the-chrome-red-walker part!
I need to copy the post, print it and read it daily....
Thank you my dear---may you have lots of good Southern Eats and not have to cook them yourself!! ;)

XXOO!!
Anne

Thanks for your kind concern Vanessa.
I am super busy this month. I have so many illustrations and photos but no time to post on the blogspot.
I am still sourcing the google eyes to finish the pom-pom craft toy for you all.
My former lecturer finally met up with me and finalize the illustrations. Sorry, I am busy, no time cactus Monday and Illustration Friday at moment. I am doing illustrations for Christian book. I am so happy I can honour God through this special way.
Thanks and your hatch piece is so inspiring Vanessa. Like your Happy Monday, Tuesday illustrations. I am sure more will come.
Take care and I never forget about you.
I hope you have a great time doing Christmas shopping!
Till then bye!

Hehe... what a fun and crazy blog! :) Happy Holidays!

Bella Sinclair said...

My darling, you have never, ever, EVER laid an egg. (C'mon. SOMEone had to say it.) This gave me the serious case of the chuckles. Good grief, there'd better be a buttload of candy in that thing!

You know what, Miss V? You are one heck of a motivational speaker. You have a backup career in your back pocket, my dear. All the things you wish for us, I wish for you a hundredfold. My face is all scrunched up, wishing REAL hard that all your Christmas wishes come true. Thank you for being one of the biggest cheerleaders and inspirations in my life. I love you, honey!

Peter Breese said...
