It has been a heavy emotional time between the current crises and memories of the 9\/11 tragedy in America.\u00a0 I use my sketchbook as a mediation journal.\u00a0 I created this drawing and thought I would create this quick post to share.<\/p>

The hand lettering words state “Embrace the Love Surrounding Me”. The word “surrounding” is written in tiny letters with small hearts on the “O” of “LOVE”. There are other hearts drawn floating around the letters.\u00a0 \u00a0I included a detail of the drawing below.<\/p>

The illustration to me was a\u00a0reminder that there are so many opportunities for love around us if only we open ourselves to love and embrace it.\u00a0 \u00a0The love is there in many forms and sources.\u00a0 It can come from family, friends, strangers, animals, angels, or within ourselves.\u00a0 Let go of the fear and embrace the love surrounding me.<\/p>

Best Wishes,
Laurel Latto
DonnaBellas Angels Artist & Founder<\/p>
