A Happy Little Design Studio

is the beginning of all knowledge.  To be completely honest with you, if I had read this quote a year ago I probably would have rolled my eyes.   So if you are rolling your eyes at this quote right now I completely understand.  I am cynical in nature, opinionated, and according to my sister I have a "holier than thou" attitude at times.

Nevertheless, I've gone through a huge transition in the last year and a half.  I am happily married with 3 beautiful puppy dogs, no longer stuck in a job I despise, and I am able to practice my art every single day.  So when I read this quote just a few days ago these are the thoughts came to mind:  the love and support of my husband, the humor and smiles provided by my silly dogs, slowing down long enough to notice all the small things, and how big the world seemed when I was a child.
