Welcome to My Creative Spirit Blog

I have a goal... I plan on feeding my creative spirit each day with exposure to different forms of art... Since the start of this course, I have been become more aware of the art around me. I find myself enjoying the art being displayed on and in public buildings, the art created by my family, and the art I find in books, on calendars, on the web; in various forms. I find that I am opening up and enjoying the "arts" more in the last few months than in previous times.

I do however, feel a special draw towards inspirational sayings, poems, and verses that speak to me and seem to give my life direction and purpose. The Bible is one of many forms of poetry, which I enjoy. It provides me with a sources of strength and power, where poetry is used to express a strong clear message, sometimes beautiful and sometimes harsh, at all times true. God Bless!

About Me

I am currently in the second year of my Bachelors of Education degree. It has so far been a very rewarding journey. I have laughed, cried, and reflected over the last two years in ways that I haven't really experienced in the past. During this journey, I have been blessed with a fantastic cohort who have proven to assist and lift up each other no matter what! And for this, I am grateful. Blessings everyone.

An Angel Says...

In the year 2000, I received a small desk calendar full of quotes titled, An Angel Says... I absolute loved it and its wisdom touched the bottom of my soul. So, when I was the Life Skills facilitator at the Prince George Native Friendship Centre, I sometime would put a quote from this calendar up on the board for our class to journal on. Some of the thoughts that that spouted from this exercise were truly inspiring. Since this little calendar continues to be a treasure to me, I decided to share the inspiration with you by quoting some of the wisdom from its pages.

An Angel Says...

...you can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying over the future. [Sounds like advice we could use right now.]

...Sorrow looks back. Worry looks around. Faith looks up.

...when you throw mud at someone, remember you are the one who is losing ground.

..the only safe and sure way to destroy an enemy is to make him your friend.

...a man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle.

... he who is happiest is he who gives the most happiness.

...there is no right way to do the wrong thing.

...learn from others mistakes, you will not have enough time to make them all yourself.

There are another 356 more inspiring little sayings in my 4" by 4" small desk calendar,which are just as thought inspiring as these ones. If you are interested in more, contact me. I have printed off multiple pages of quotes and I have them on one of my disks, and I would love to share them with you.

Blessings in this season of bounty, Sherry

Sherry, I really liked those quotes! Especially the first one! That one really hits home for me ... I am a HUGE worrier! It's one of my habits that I need to try and break ... I really like the quote ... it gives me somthing to think about.

I usually don't like inspirational quotes, but those are really great - thanks, Sherry! Sometimes I think I should write a bunch of post-its with messages like these and put them all over my house to remind myself to be a more pleasant person. I might have to take you up on that offer of getting a copy of these angel quotes!
