What are your pink-petaled dreams?
What is the longing deep within you just
beginning to blossom forth into the world?
Will you say yes? And YES?

Thank you Christine. Living in the Southern Hemisphere & now heading into Winter, I see around me the deep reds of Autumn leaves, once again reminding me of the cool, refreshing days ahead. It is always somewhat of a relief after our long hot summers. Now I can rug up during the day & sleep well in my cozy bed at night. God is good!
Beautiful pictures, Christine. I had not thought of my longing in this way, but your illustrations give it a beauty I had not realized it has.
Thank you.
