Is it just me, or are things getting a little busy around here?  The sun is still shining but it seems the lazy, unplanned days of summer frolicing and feasting might be behind me. There seems to be a lot on the calendar this month, just as I expected back when I designed my 2012 calendar.  That is why I chose the “my life is a circus” painting to decorate September.  A little reminder that in the blur of back to work, back to homeschooling, back to soccer, ballet, piano lessons and more….it is ok to let some of those juggling balls drop (do you see them bouncing about on the canvas with joy and abandon? there actually is a doodle of me juggling and dropping balls, as well as related writing, in the under-layers of paint).

Yes, my life is a bit of a circus folks! But it is full of such colour and adventure and I am learning to drop some balls….like when I abandoned all responsibilities for a surprise night with a dear friend last weekend in Victoria.  And wouldn’t you know it, the surprise she gifted me with was a ticket for Cirque de Soleil! This month is certainly a bit of a circus and I am loving it!

What circus acts are you pulling off this month? Don’t forget to let some of those balls drop so you can get in a few more beach days in this gorgeous sunshine!
