Thank you to Michelle Schifley for coordinating so we can celebrate our seniors! Walker didn’t know we were getting one and it brought a smile to his face to see it. #celebrateourseniors2020 #harriganhappiness #rockstrong #rhsclassof2020 (at Vernon, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_GK3NvnQ52A5gUuqAzOyaucXFLdmTbszSW5Ds0/?igshid=8rpoorxxo0us

Get your foundation ... and get your life. Find your ground and stand; solid and strong ... as a ROCK. #findyourground #rockstrong #moonleaflove 🍃🍁🍃

It's a wonder I part with them ... each one I love. Admittedly. And, not because I think they're just so amazing ... no, not at all ... it's because they're perfectly imperfect! They're hand-collected, cleaned/polished, treated, and made with such GREAT LOVE. Rocks ... literally, to me, are salt of the earth. Each rock, right down to the tiniest pebble, or micro-granule of sand, is a little piece of our earth, which is quite magnificent if you think about it. When I paint a rock, I feel as though I'm honoring our earth, nature, myself, others, and the eternal power of LOVE. ALL of these are celebrated simply by painting a rock. Funny though it may be, for me, it's also an exercise in self-love; the nurturing of my inner-artist; my inner-child. The end result, however, hopefully ... is a smile on someone's face, a reminder that they are loved. I do subscribe to the belief that one little rock can remind someone that they are strong; that they are loved. So, once again, as my Birthday nears, I get ready to send off the rocks I've set aside for friends and family. Some, who I know are going through a difficult time. Some, I've never even met. You see, every year for my Birthday, my gift—to myself—is giving away my rocks. I get the most pleasure from giving them, and giving them when someone least expects it. You never know, a rock just might make its way to YOU one day! You might become the recipient of a little piece of painted earth. Stranger things have happened, yes? Lol. *Painting Rocks—it's a complete love affair, what can I say? We live and breathe perched on this GREAT BIG ROCK we call Earth! Why not paint it with a little LOVE? #rockpainting #rockstrong #grounded #saltoftheearth #rockart #moonleafrocks #moonleaflove #onelove #rocklove #rockstrong #love #childsplay #littlethings 🍃💜🍃
