Lotus of Possibility

Lotuses have been influential in many cultures across the world from ancient times until today. They represent the human soul, purity, rebirth and enlightenment.

For me, most of all, lotuses represent possibility. I started using the lotus as a personal omen when I embarked on my creative journey years ago, and ever since then, its symbolic meaning has supported me in the creation of my dream life! (notice the lotus motif always there :)) The lotus reminds me that if I reach for the light, it is possible for me also, to rise above the muddy waters and create something utterly beautiful. Sigh. I do believe in that.

So you can understand why I am so excited to announce my collaboration with Bel Kai designs for the Shutter Sisters Capture Colllection! I really hope that this little lotus I photographed in Bali a few years ago, can go many places and be a reminder that anything is possible when we reach for the light. Besides, it is so pretty! I can't get mine off my neck!

And since this is the month of treasures here, you're in luck! All you have to do is leave a comment between now and Sunday at midnight PST, to be included in the random drawing of a "Possibility" necklace. But if you're so inclined, please do share an image that reminds you of possibility as well.

I posted earlier - without photo as I was pondering about which picture describes possibilities for me. And as I promised to contribute a photo (I usually keep my promises), I decided on this one - the blossoms of a cherry tree in spring, standing for the possibilities spring displays year after year, however hard the winter was:
