Muted Monday - Photo of the Week
I designed it for a Heritage Makers weekly challenge, and I think I'll have it printed and frame it for my office.

Photo of the Week- Fall Sunset
Mondays are busy. If my readers are like me, I know you appreciate simple Monday e-mails that help you refocus and relax. Enjoy these beautiful fall sunsets! I took a picture of this one last week from my front porch.
Photo of the Week
When I spoke at a conference recently, I had to walk up and down this little alley way several times each day. The narrow passage framed by a large rose garden made it feel somehow European, even though I've never been there. It inspired me to slow down, take my time and enjoy the sensation it gave to walk the corridor. That's where ideas and inspiration are born, in stopping for a moment to think.
Here are some other scenes from the conference that made me stop and enjoy...
Photo of the Week
I live in Amish country and it isn't unusual to get delayed behind a buggy on my way to town.
I often wonder what it would be like to live in one of their households for just a week. I imagine the simplicity...No telephone, no blaring television or battles for a remote. No worries over what mischief my children might get into over the internet. And think of all of the trash to treasure ideas it might inspire!
But, then I think of how I sit with my laptop in my air conditioned office when it's 90 degrees and humid outside. Of my windows sealing out the stifling, oppressive air that makes me cranky.
Then, I imagine the long sleeved dresses and heavy layers of aprons and bonnets and I'm thankful for a minute of peace out on my back deck sipping lemonade in between moments of complication in my high-tech world. And I think of of quickly I can travel to town in my minivan, no matter how quaint it might be to listen to the clip clop of horses and the clatter of buggy wheels. Still, it's fun to imagine.
Do you ever imagine what it would be like to live in someone else's world for just a week?

Monday Creativity Inspiration
It's Muse Monday and to inspire your creativity this week, I'm sharing some pictures of some of my favorite quiet places. When was the last time you just sat and mused?
Where is your favorite place to think?
Photo of the Week
I took this photo at the camp where my husband works (and I assist as a volunteer). It's been a stressful week for me, and sometimes I need to remind myself that peace exists, even in the very place that leads to much of my turmoil.
Be blessed and find peace today.

Inspiration for your creative muse from what I see through my lens. One of my back yard trash to treasure yard sale finds.
