Artist Spotlight: Naomi Ruth Haussmann

Okay, so in case we haven't mentioned it this week, we have some freakishly talented friends (you know-some photographers we really admire, a few fiery souls who rock the party at public speaking and teaching, a good designer or two in the bunch.) And we're grateful for this set of brilliant, creative people. The beauty they create inspires us to create some beauty of our own. We love feeling challenged and charmed by them every day.

Onward and upward-and so we go together. La, la, la.

I digress.

One of my very, Very favorite writers in the entire world is a wee Kiwi lass with whom I once traveled the world, one called Naomi. I never get tired of reading and re-reading her poetry.

You can follow her blog here and I promise you will never regret it. (Or if you do, send me feisty emails and I'll buy you a cuppa.)

And look at her pretty face...(Yep, stole this photo off her FB page so I have no idea who gets the photo creds here?)

Anyhoo, I found this in my inbox from Nay this week and thought I'd share-enjoy.

Bare footing it. Give me a job and let me live with chu

I'll be positively delightful

 

And bake

 

And read to your ears 

 

And soothe all your tears

 

And sing to your fears

 

And change all your gears

 

And make a picnic for your cares

 

And buy all the beers

 

And loudly say cheers

 

And love all your wears

 

And stew all old pears

 

And not let you wear flares

 

And be far and be near

 

You see the picture clear?

Love you, Naomes. Please keep writing.

xxo.
