Louise Hay affirmation:   “Life is an adventure, and the Universe is always on our side.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Transform a room into a new environment.

Comments:  Today's collage feels like a happy transformation of a normally quiet and sleepy room into a springtime dance celebration.  

Cherry blossoms and butterfly bedding speak to the idea of transformation.  While the doves and ballerina springing from their sleepytime resting place remind us that life is an adventure.  

I'd be lying if I said that every night's sleep has me springing from bed with this much enthusiasm.   It's comforting to know, though, that the Universe is always on our side.

Comments:  Took a beginners  ballet class for adults once and felt a little more like a dancing Disney elephant (Fantasia) than the joyous, leaping Chinese ballerinas (Shen Yun Performing Arts) in this collage.  

Learned in class that practice and repetition are critical to learning the fundamentals of dance.   Today, I'm learning that practice and repetition are critical to learning the fundamentals of Joyous living.
