your gift, your duty

in the depths of my soul, i believe that we all have a gift... there is something special that each one of us has to offer...


in the depths of my soul, i believe that with the joy that accompanies discovering what it is comes a responsibility to share it for the good of our fellow planet dwellers... 

'the greatest gift is a portion of thyself.'

award

barbara lewis of jewelry of distinction and sandra of marbella designs added me to their list of people to share this award with... i thank you both... each incorporates into their blogs works they are creating and things that interest them... a perfect mix... each kind of post intrigues me as i always love to see what people are up to and how they are pushing their boundaries... i also love when nature shots are shared (it's like getting to see through someone else's eyes), or i get to see a different part of the world or country, or even learn about new music! the blogging community has helped me to expand my horizons - and i am really grateful for that...

so-
