Enlightening

Tuesday, April 29, 2025

Another beautiful dawn here in the Pacific Northwest’s Central Oregon, and today, I am free from working at my outside job. This afternoon, I will visit the store as a customer. It’s hosting a special one-day display and sale of jewelry by a designer known for pieces with high-quality gemstones and diamonds. Last year’s one-day display was a visual knockout.

I’m not planning to purchase. I have little money and have few opportunities to wear beautiful jewelry. Essentially, I want to look, see, and “get into my head” a majestic array of colors and their shapes. Hopefully, the visuals will influence me later. I want to be outdoors, “seeing” colors and shapes through my camera, and capturing images.

The jewelry show will motivate my small talent beyond “just wanting” to create art. The experience will encourage me to strive actively toward creating artistry of my own. I’ll enjoy the process, and hopefully, love its outcomes.

Dear Friends: Expanding an experience encourages and reveals new opportunities. Diana
