Too often we forget to consciously choose that which honors or reflects our inner self...life is so busy and we get caught up in survival mode sometimes. Art should apply to life as well!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304349794622823797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930263311780001387.post-69514656683734555622012-07-02T09:17:54.719-04:002012-07-02T09:17:54.719-04:00Hi, Claire--glad you liked the post!

I think you're in a particularly reflective stage of life, so I'm glad you're making the time to do so. Good luck!Kathy A.

I've been doing lots of reflection on my life and your observations about Laure's 5 E's hits pretty close to home - just the things that I've had rolling around in my mind. Gee... thanks for connecting the dots for me - I had not yet realized the applicability of the 5 E's to my life in general.Claire Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422062718551034294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930263311780001387.post-58285873083770293322012-06-30T16:18:04.942-04:002012-06-30T16:18:04.942-04:00I'm so glad you liked the post!
