Words of Wisdom
For Project Soul Pancake: Sidewalk Scribe.
The challenge this week was to write our personal philosophy on life in chalk on pavement. It was pretty easy for me to think of a quote to write. "You Must Be The Change You Wish To See In The World" is my favourite quote (hence my tattoo) and it really is something that try to put into play each day. I try to make my world better, not by wishing or hoping or praying but by action. Everything in life needs action in order for change and I really try to be that driving force in my own life and the lives of others.
I wish I had nicer chalk-writing....

Nicer chalk writing? It's wonderful, if I were the one scribbling the words, no one would be able to read the words! hahaha
So wonderful, I really like the color gradient, and the fact you're looking down to the text! :)

this is so gorgeous! I love the way you wrote the quote on the pavement and the focus is PERFECT. I love the tones/slight gradient in the pavement too!!

It's hard to write smoothly on bumpy asphalt. (I know, because my kids are obsessed with sidewalk chalk.) This is the nicest chalk writing I've ever seen. If it were too nice, it wouldn't look real.
