she chooses

to stop in her tracks

and enjoy …

     the beauty of the earth

     to breathe in slowly

     and to take a moment

     to look

“Art is a personal creation by an individual.  It brings something into existence that did not exist before and it would not have existed except for the unique contributions of the individual who created it.“

She could still smell and feel her grandmother's scent as she put on the turquoise jacket her grandmother always used to wear.  Every time she put on the Sky Stone Jacket she recalled the stories her grandmother told her about the color turquoise. Her grandmother said the color turquoise, the sky stone, connected heaven and earth and that the color turquoise helped us connect with the spirit world.

She loved wearing her grandmother’s jacket and the memories of her grandmother.
