Hello World!
It has been a VERY long time since I blogged .. well I have been on a crazy roller coaster ride over the past few months and was not even ready to launch this new blog . However when I learned that I had won an ” Accolade of Excellence Award” At the 8 by 10 print competition Award this afternoon .I decided that the timing could not be better. I will leave other news for later this week . Here is the ” Award Winning Image” and a brief press release.

Some say beauty is only skin deep, and to some this may apply.
For true beauty lies within the soul, and comes from the heart.
It comes not from what can be seen of us, but what we may impart. True beauty is not how we may adorn ourselves, others to impress.
True beauty of each of us, lies within our soul and you ladies have found a way to give us a glimpse at 2 beautiful spirits in this photograph. Congratulations to both of you for sharing such beautiful spirits the award is just the cherry on top. The universe has already awarded you with all you need to take this world by storm. Keep me posted. I hope not to have to wait 4 months to get news. Ian(ti)
