I'm splitting up my work between two sites...Jaiehart will house my photography going forward and Compassion81 will continue to house my poetry. It's too confusing to have two loves intermingled especially now that both my writing and photography is out there for the world to see and is in print! Yay for that. Any how, I would so much appreciate my watchers interested in my photography work stopping by my new accounting and watching me there.

I hope you all have a beautiful evening.

I so wanted to be able to thank everyone of you personally for all your precious favorites and all of the watches but I have to admit, I'm no longer able to. Between a full time job, being a mom, an author, poet, psychic medium and a nut for photography, I'm spread way too thin. So, I wish to thank you, all of you, for your wonderful support, your favorites and watches. I appreciate them all so much and I am so very honored!

Here are some beautiful works of art I've seen come through the Deviations box over the last couple weeks. I hope you enjoy them and please drop by the artists pages and tell them if you do! Much love, peace and happiness to all of you!

Oh the things your eyes have seen, the feelings that have permeated your heart and soul for a life time...it's been a lot, hasn't it? Well, there is still a lifetime yet of laughter, love and dreams. Get out there and make yourself proud, forget about the critics and those who would not support you...send them a wish... of joy and happiness for surely they need it most of all...smile at a stranger and tell a friend, I love you. The goal in life is not to survive, the goal in life is to live...live with meaning and purpose; conviction! Go, do and be! I wish you all a peaceful weekend!

I have featured these works before...but they accent the feeling of the above post so I'm featuring them again! Enjoy!

I'll save ya the lengthy blogish stuff...If ya want to read the latest, it's posted here:

I was away for a little bit and got really way behind but I'm a fair bit caught up now.

Now, on with the features!!!

I went to Seattle last weekend and had the most amazing time. Some of the pics I've posted were from Deception Pass. That place has to be one of the most beautiful places on Earth. I swear, every turn I was awestruck by the beauty of nature, the trees, the way the sunlight filtered through a canopy of leaves, the cool air, the smell of the ocean and this huge overwhelming sense of peace. I'm so very grateful to have had an opportunity to get away from my crazy and hectic world for a few days and experience a much more peaceful side of existence. I think that trip made me decide to put much more of a focus on my creative endeavors. Both my books are now up on lulu.com and will very soon be available in the Kindle store on Amazon.com. What an exciting time. So many revelations did I have walking in the woods, wow...so, I could go on for days but instead, here are a few features instead!
