This prompt had me pondering lessons... life lessons in particular. As in what is the single most important lesson I have learnt? What would be the most important lesson that I could impart to Bug & Bean? What lessons do I still have to learn? All very heavy stuff for a Sunday evening, and a question that I will file away for later pondering. 

So my illustration is just a lesson in using my markers in new ways, a lesson in detail and a lesson in starting my illustration on the weekend rather than waiting for thursday. (And as  Bean suggested she is giving the bear a lesson on how to be a pretty princess called raining mia.)

And the single most important lesson I have learnt so far? Well it may just be that there is no such word as impossible. It is in fact two words - I’m possible.

Have a great week

G'pa and Me at my 21st birthday

Last week marked the seventh anniversary of my granpas passing, a man who had filled my childhood with stories and adventures, my teens with dreams and possibilities, and my early adulthood with understanding and guidance. He was a man who  was held in high esteem by every one who knew him - in fact to know him was to love him, and seven years on there is still a gaping hole in my life and in my heart.

There are so many stories to tell, fond memories to share - he was larger than life really. He always had story to tell, a letter to write or a song to sing, and they always seemed to illustrate a point he was trying to make - often to a strong minded, stubborn grand daughter. He believed that you could be anyone, do anything, and that there was no such word as impossible - in fact impossible was actually 'I'm possible' if you inserted an apostrophe!

I miss his wisdom, his unwavering support, his love and his unfailing belief in me…

I could use some of this when the black clouds of self doubt roll in.  And I can only hope that I can impart a 10th of his wisdom and spirit to our girls.

I miss you…

xx
