Well hello there!

Where I am, the sun is warm. The day is nearing that sleepy mid afternoon o’clock where you just want to cozy down for a good snuggle. For some trees that are eager to bring on the seasons, it is time for a few leaves to begin to turn color. It is a wonderful time.

For me, it is now time to finish answering emails! The submission period for the September issue of Joyfully Wondrous drew to a close yesterday, and I haven’t answered everyone yet. So if you’re still waiting on an answer, don’t worry! I answer every email I receive.

To those who have already received their answers, I want to send out a heartfelt thank you. It always amazes me how arts bare a soul, and the beautiful pieces I receive from readers are no different. It requires bravery and a certain level of confidence and hope to submit works that mean so much to oneself, to bare this level of one’s inner workings out into the world.

So thank you for your trust. Thank you for sharing these parts of yourself with me, and then with the rest of us. If art heals, then these little steps are all part of some greater process, and are helping turn the wheels of cycles within hearts out there. Even if the pieces submitted did not find a place within Joyfully Wondrous, I have great confidence that wherever they land, they will be leaves landing out in the pond of life, sending sweet ripples out to create – perhaps not the change we seek – but enrichment nonetheless.

So thank you, all of you creatives out there, for enriching our lives. And thank you to the readers for encouraging us all and cheering on our little ripples in life.

I hope you all have the most wonderful of weeks, filled with warm suns and sweet breezes. If you haven’t yet, please take a look at the wonderful works within the August issue of Joyfully Wondrous HERE.

Take care, ❤
