We had a slight disruption in our sunflower posts due to end-of-the-semester busyness and exhaustion. I crashed seconds after arriving home last night. We’ll make up for it by adding a “sunflower” day next week. Actually, I have enough sunflower material to blog about them for a month! No worries. I won’t.
Five minutes after entering my office yesterday (for no obvious reason) I ended up in a weird head space that made it difficult to concentrate on anything that looked and felt like work. I took a moment with my sunflower wall, carefully studying each image and thinking fondly about how each came to me.
The sunflowers, filled with reminders to be good and kind to myself, gave me permission to slow down the crazy pace at which I’d been working for several weeks straight and pause, even if just for a moment.
My sunflower wall grew tremendously as a result of International Women’s Day 2018. My Love Notes friends filled my mailbox with sunflower after sunflower, and though I’ll share the other yellow flowers I received eventually, today, we walk through a sunflower field together. [Click an image for a closer look].
The postcards came from Love Noters–Christine, Eileen, Connie, Arielle, Litsa, Peg, and Gina. I received two more that aren’t pictured here; they’re “earmarked” for two other posts.
I “installed” the sunflower wall in front of my primary “work station” one afternoon when I was “fed up” with the dreariness of winter. I needed the sun! Thanks to my Love Notes friends, the sun shines even brighter in my office.
I hope your weekend is filled with light, love, and lots of pauses.
Your sunflower wall is brilliant Chandra and I can see how it would help brighten the gloomiest day. I don’t do a lot of yellow paintings as yellow is not a favourite colour but I do have a few. Maybe I will do a sunflower on one of next year’s LYA cards. Have a great day and may the sun shine bright where you are!
Yes!!! That would be perfect. I love how you’re already thinking about LYA next year. 🙂
LOVE your sunny wall Chandra. Made me realize that I have not done a sunflower postcard. Hmmm…
Happy weekend to you, and restful 🙂
Time to get started on that sunflower postcard, Sheila! 😀
Sunflowers are sure beautiful. Nice collection
Thanks, Christine!
Your sunny wall is full of joy and hope, Chandra. I love it!
Me too! I agree! It brightens my day every day!
Your sunflower wall is gorgeous!
Thanks, Chica!
I love your sunflower collection 🙂
Thanks, Lisa! It gives me such joy!
