I LOVE your new studio! The colors are so refreshing!

I also LOVE your mantra - I have lately been thinking that my life is not where I thought it would be by now - and need to remind myself that God has put me right where I should be and not giving me what I ask for, but giving me what I need right now. This canvas would be an excellent reminder of that!
