When I moved out to Bolivar, which is small town of 450 people in rural Southwestern Pennsylvania, and described the area to my sister, Cynthia, she said, "This will be your magic year."
To be absolutely truthful, I didn't really know what she meant by that. Not really, anyway. Sure I grasped the concept of being dedicated to one's craft and having no distractions... but what I recently came to realize, was that it wasn't about making artwork without distractions... it was making it in harmony. It was about discovering the power of little things and taking advantage of the moment.This past weekend was the Spring Equinox. After such a rough winter, the warm rays of the sun are much appreciated. The melting of the ice and snow thawed out the sluggishness in my soul and the chill in my heart. As if by cue, swarms of ladybugs came out. These little creatures, crawling all over my hand have a message – a promise. That this will indeed be a magic year.

I am wishing you bright skies and magical moments, Andrew.
Enjoy the day! Erin
I just love ladybirds, as we call them over here! I hope they bring you all the magic you could hope for.
This year has gotten off to a rough start but I too, believe it will be a magical year. Here's to a wonderful 2010 Andrew!
That's so neat!!!! Looks like it tickles...
Mother Nature treated us to a snow storm on the first day of Spring. But the lady bugs came anyway.
May your year be indeed magical and full of promise!
Oh my gosh, Bolivar. I know where that is!
It was a ladybug day. Our house and barn were covered in them. Can't wait to see the magic you create this year.
I was just thinking about lady birds. To see them in your hand is such a treat. They do hold a lot of promise in a tiny little body, don't they.
Wow!
