When Bonnie first put this prompt out there, I was drawn right in. I love words. Like I love to breathe.
Suddenly I was thinking about all the many words I have written on this Life Journey. I was waking up with one string of them or another.
And then...
The words right BEside this and every one of my posts, words that I actually feel came through me rather than from me, woke me one way early morning...
LEARNING IS MY HEART; IT COMPLETES ME.
There they are.
7 simple words that speak ME.
ME as an artist.
ME as a human.
ME as ME...
I wanted to "DO" this more with Photoshop Elements, and I wanted to tell you how I did it, and I even did another version...
Ultimately I went with my heart, using a photograph I took on my move west to east in 2009, wandering one day in St. Augustine, Florida. And I added the sentence in Picnik and that was enough.
I suppose that just proves the truth of my 7 words.
Learning is where I live Life.
It is how I live.
It is what Life is all about for me.

Lovely image - so bright and colourful!
Wow, so weird. I woke one morning and had my quote and a picture in my mind. Lovely quote!!!
Awesome!! I remember that spark...something that ignites the soul...just learning that writing letters on a piece of paper represented me...and reading could take me anywhere at all...and the sheer joy of learning new things. This post just lifted my heart, lady! And the bright, wild, complex painting fits perfectly. :):)
Learning is so much fun - and, we get to do it all our life. I love it. Great image and lovely sentence. Thanks for sharing. Karen
What a fantastic image - to me it is very positive and happy-almost bursting! A celebration of life! I really like both the image and the words:)
The colors are so pleasing to the eye and your sentence brought to mind Tom Cruise's phrase in Jerry McGuire..it's a strong statement..;)
Your piece is so colorful and fun. I like your 7 word phrase. I think learning is an important part of life. If we don't continue to learn and grow then we become stagnant in our life. Thanks for sharing.
We learn, we grow, we become ... how nicely you captured the idea and made it joyful with your choice of picture and colors. A valuable lesson for all to ... learn :)

Great colors, I love this composition.
Jag gillar det du skriver och den färgrika bilden. Tack för din kommentar.
Great photo and lovely use of colour and 7 words fantastic....
Everything in your post is beautiful. Both your art and words.
Beautifully put, Ms. BE. Blessings!
love your sentence. So true for many I think. More of less it is what it is to be human.
I love words too, quotes and sayings are always seeming to speak to me! Love the colors you used, very bright and cheerful mix! awesome! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
Love your words, Currie! Both the meaning and the way you have processed them in your piece! Stunning colours and great capture! Have a BEautiful day!
Never ever stop learning, there is always room to grow! Epiphanies are a BEautiful thing to find as they are rare but when they do happen, they're quite powerful!
Thanks for stopping by on my blog :)
Delightful, Currie! It's been a privilege to witness your explorations and growth since you have joined us at PAF. Love your piece and sentence.
Fantastic, Currie!
