Black and White Simple and powerful, in image and verse. Sometimes you need to hear it from someone who has been there. Nothing is going to be easy, but everything is going to be ok. And then one day soon, it s going to be great! The heart seeks sanctuary, not found in the mind, but only in another heart. #2013 Been there H #2014 Unexpected door #2015 We all want to be seen #2016 The heart seeks 6 For available formats, see inside front cover.

Heart exposed, there was nowhere left to run. I thought I would be more afraid, but it gave peace a chance to catch up with me. She wasn t where she had been. She wasn t where she was going, but she was on her way. This beginning...this yellow rising... this opening of my heart... No more just in front of my another day, because it s ANOTHER day! Every dream is on bloom, not held within season... and neither am I. The world begins and begins and begins... and I cartwheel along... knowing today, I don t have to finish... I can keep laughing and hoping and loving and living, openly, through this beautiful day! I am a part of it all...i am part of the wishes blown over burning candles, the ingredients, the left-overs, the dreams behind cracked open windows, the prayers at the edge of bed, the worries swept under... I am part of the roads that lead to and from here, the neighbors near and far, all under one sky, trying to get to their own place of unconditional, outstretched arms. I am part of it all... and I am home. #2017 Heart exposed #2018 On her way H #2019 This beginning #2020 Part of it all 7

Black and White Simple and powerful, in image and verse. As I come clean, I have to admit that I have been in a battle with love and fear. Thankfully, love has won... but not because I, or it, fought harder. No, it happened, not with a fist, but a willingness to throw my hands in the air and let be... let in what s knocking, let go what s leaving, let live what s dancing about, and let love, simply love. #2021 Be it ever so humble #2022 The path I walk H #2023 The sun lit #2049 Come clean 8 For available formats, see inside front cover.

So unique and so bold, your light shines so brightly... but not with disregard for others. It never feels like you are saying, Hey, look at me, but more, Hey, look at everybody! Look at all these beautiful people! You ve never been one to exclude - you have been one to invite! You are an invitation to see ALL... to see everyone s true colors. And I accept! #2050 So unique I leaned on you today. I m not sure if you even knew, but I wanted to thank you. I felt you holding my heart. It made me happy. And I was strong. I hope I do that for you... if so,we can do anything. #2054 Leaned on you today H #2055 Wonderful world H #2056 Stop worr ying H 9

Black and White Simple and powerful, in image and verse. I thought I was being so obvious. I had this version of myself that seemed so clear to me. But I don t think anyone really saw me, until you. You are not my sole reason... I don t believe anyone can be, or should be asked to be... but you re a good reason... a good reason to believe in something, and in someone. all we have to do is be good to each other. #2005 All we have to do H I want to see the beauty in all, possibly even me. #2078 Beauty in all H I want Love, if you see me, I am a painter. Brush in one hand and heart in the other, I awaken to the orange and yellow genesis of a morning sky, crawl through the green of afternoon growth, and long for the blue of an evening embrace, to cover the red of the beat that carries me. #2067 Obvious #2080 Good reason to believe #2079 Love, if you see me 10 For available formats, see inside front cover.

I have burned and thrown and lost every map I ve held, but I m here. I am here, and I am different. I m not certain what that makes me, but I am me. And I am certain that this glorious experience has to be this way. Certain that it won t be easy. Certain that it shouldn t be. Certain that I can t destroy what I don t understand, even when it s me. Certain that you have to be different too. And it s more than ok, it s beautiful! That s what joins us. We re not the same, but we re in this together! #2119 I am here #2076 Heart pillows Be brave. I thought maybe if I wrote the words down, read them every day, traced them with my fingers... I could live them. I could let go of this maybe life, and be brave enough to say yes... brave enough to say no. And then, in all the uncertainty around me, I could be certain of this, that I was brave enough to love, to laugh... to cry... to be me... that I was brave enough to really live. Be brave. just five more minutes please... #2006 Be brave H #2038 Grow H you and me. #2063 5 more minutes #2062 You and me Something will grow from all of this... and it will be me. Something nothing to lose. try. #2060 Nothing to lose H 11

Black and White Simple and powerful, in image and verse. Someone believes in me. You can t mess with that. I am loved. You can t take that away. I have a chance. You can join me. Learn something that is not in front of you. Love someone who doesn t look like you. Go somewhere you ve never been. the world is beautiful. Love answered, If you knew who walked beside you, you d never feel alone. #2064 Be yourself #2024 I have a chance #2025 Learn something H #2027 Love answered - bw says someone something reallysmall, but Sometimes, it fits into that tiny,empty space in your heart...and fills it. In a moment of happiness is always a good place to catch yourself. Today will be what it is. I will be who I am. And there will be beauty in both. With time, the things that make me care seem to change. Tears and laughter often reverse their roles. The world switches from big to small depending on the uncertainties that surround us, while comfort packs its bags and moves from place to place, never leaving a forwarding address. But through the impermanence of people and feelings, you stay as slow, as warm and as forever as children's summer laughter. You remain a part of my heart's truth, the part that doesn't get crushed beneath the weight of time passing, the part I give thanks for, everyday. #2087 Heart H #2104 Moment of happiness H #2105 Today will be what it is H #2085 Thanks 12 For available formats, see inside front cover.

Black and White Simple and powerful, in image and verse. She wasn t where she had been. She wasn t where she was going... but she was on her way. And on her way she enjoyed food that wasn t fast, friendships that held, hearts glowing, hearts breaking, smiles that caught tears, paths trudged and alleys skipped. And on her way she no longer looked for the answers, but held close the two things she knew for sure. One, if a day carried strength in the morning, peace in the evening, and a little joy in between, it was a good one... and two, you can live completely without complete understanding. created by www.jodihills.com 2006 She was on her way. #3008 Big girl #3001 On her way #3016 Where they all went #3019 Dance woman bw For available formats, see inside front cover. 14 created by www.jodihills.com 2009 #3009 Your one life #3018 Map girl #3010 Compliment #3017 After all the tears #3020 Catch herself

The grace that comes from the living in, the living through, and the living on, this will be our story... told in wee hours, rainstorms, and candlelight embellished and embraced, and ever home.

Untethered from fear, everything is possible. #1030 My feet, with their need for solid ground, couldn t convince my heart not to set sail #1035 Blue mosaic #2074 Black and white mosaic (mosaic prints available in 20x24 size only) 25

Climb mountains. Stroll beaches. Drive cars on busy streets and sail bicycles down big hills. Love among the Hate, when love is what you truly feel. Suck strength from your anger, and then let it go.

With a heart and a brain, loneliness is unacceptable. HAVE FUN! without maps or directions. Cherish Happiness. Buy it if you have to, but always give it away freely.

Sometimes I pose, hold in my stomach, and imagine nice things are being said about me... and I feel better. Sometimes I just have lots of wine and candy. You re beautiful, inside and out I just thought you should know #1039 Wine and candy #1071 Gratitude #1020 Beautiful, inside and out You know my colors and my heart, and would never make me come out of a fitting room, unless I looked spectacular. You are Saturdays, and shopping, and coffee, and chocolate, and I m so happy we re friends! I want to be more respectful of LOVE itself, and not just the people it travels through. I want to embrace its peace, applaud its creativity and thank its tenderness. I want to admire the bravery of love s open and willing hand; acknowledge the strength, the adversity, the up off of its knees fortitude; and the gentleness of its embrace. When I can see love s infinite colors - holding, accepting - how much easier it will be to see the beauty in all, possibly even me. It has to start here... I humbly ask of myself and offer this world - If you need an open mind, let it be me. If you need a welcoming smile, let it be me. If you need an unjudging hand, let it be me. If you need someone to listen, let it be me. If you need a creative, inquisitive spirit, let it be me. If you need someone to stand up when the ground shakes beneath...let it be me. If you need a nurturing, loving, strong and gentle soul, let it be me... and if you need someone to see this in all others, ALL, please, let it be me. #1040 Orange dress #1038 Saturdays and shopping #2003 Respectful of love #2083 Let it be me 31
