What an incredible image. What incredible words to grace it with. Thank you. Lots.
Man alive! This is when I feel like shouting to all of us: STRUT YOUR STUFF!
Couldn't agree more Marcie! Your image captures a healthy creative spirit!
It's that splash that has my attention. In our creativity don't we also make a "splash" that showers us and those around us with love and light?
Love this image!
Stunning photograph Marcie. I love the quote you paired it with :-)
BRAVO!
I sit here in front of my computer and screen in awe. An already stellar image made even more meaningful with the pairing of the perfect quote.
What an inspiring quote - sometimes a fact that is difficult to remember when the voices of the naysayers is so loud. A beautiful image of the perfect moment.
Beautiful!
Beautiful and inspiring. How did you know that was just what I needed today:~))
big glad grateful yes!

I like that thought and I like that image. The world sometimes seems designed to stamp an awful lot out of most of us, but we need to try to choose how we react to its stamping. Apologies for over-philosophising but I've been feeling over-philosophical today. I needed that little boost. Thanks.
Creativity has grown wings in this inspirational photo, Marcie, it's beautiful. I can't help it, I have to think of all those people and especially kids whose skills have never been stunning and criticism and lack of interest in their creations stamped the creativity out of them. We all need encouragement and our children need to hear the words of the quote, don't they?
Breathtaking image, how wonderful it would be to fly over that spray of water. And thank you for reminding us of our birthright.
Very good advice and a lovely image to accompany it :-)
What a fun photo! So much life to it!
Love the energy of this image and the very good advice!
Marcie, what a stunning image!!! This is incredible.
I love the quote!
What a gorgeous photo... and yes, dancing is always the best way to go.
Thanks so much for covering for me. xoxo
what a moment to witness, and capture so beautiful :)
