This week I learned that sometimes you need to slow down and take a break... What brought this important lesson home was that fact that I LOST a painting this week! And because things have been so busy, and off schedule, I have NO idea what happened to it!
Monday and Tuesday were exceptionally busy, long, and demanding days for me, and I just tried to incorporate too much into those days and losing a painting was the result.
...so, I just wanted to share with you, that sometimes the best source of inspiration comes from taking a break, getting away, and making time to be calm.

oh, we can learn so much from just observing how babies
interact with the world around them.}
On Thursday, this is just what I did. We {Naomi and me} met a friend in DC to visit the French Galleries in the West Building of the NGA, caught up on things, and enjoyed the floral display in the rotunda.

Have a wonderful weekend, and I hope you find a moment to just take some time for yourself.
UPDATE 3/26/2012: I found the painting! All I can say is, silly me... now I have a system in place that will hopefully prevent a repeat of this EVER happening again!

What a wonderful place to spend an afternoon!!! It sounds like you had a great day... I hope you find your misplaced painting :-)
Hi Liz,
Sorry to hear that you've lost a painting. Taking a break is good advice. The last few weeks have been filled with the business of art, marketing, painting and trying to manage social media marketing.
I wrecked a painting, as I was tired and continued to push myself.
Tomorrow is my day off. (Naomi looks adorable) Enjoy your weekend!
Hi Debbie, yes we had a fantastic day and it was a great place to "reboot" so to speak...
Hi Laura,
I am sorry to hear about your painting, and I know what you mean about managing social media, it can be pretty overwhelming!
Have a wonderful day off, Liz
Oh she is such a little precious Liz, and you look so happy.
I'm sure the painting will turn up.
Slowing down to enjoy Naomi is most important. They grow up so quickly.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Mary :)
It is great getting the support for you and others to slow down.
Have a great weekend! Liz
