RACHEL BRIGHT:: LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
{please visit rachel bright here}
We figured we had to sign up the next contributor simply based on her name—Miss Bright, Rachel Bright that is. How could we not? When Bright asked to be considered I strolled over to her site and found myself a mushy mess. I am a SUCKER for bunnies! Bright had quite a lot in her body of work. Anyone that utilizes bunnies as a muse is all right in my book. Speaking of books Bright has been writing and illustrating one about two optimistic bunnies, sounds like something that will need to be added to my bookshelf when it is released. Who doesn’t love an optimistic bunny tale? On Bright’s bio it states the she is a, “…writer of words, drawer of pictures and champion of silver linings.” Please tell me is this girl not the poster child for the Bright Side Project?
Bright’s work explores the possibility of well possibility. A world where you feel anything is possible. A bit Seussian meets a happy Gorey (it’s possible) with a little Napoleon Hill thrown in. I am particularly enamored with her etchings, the creamy paper and intricate details make my heart sing. Lucky for you she is giving away one of her prints so your heart can start humming along as well…
Rachel Bright is giving away to one winner (1) Print from her collection. She is also extending a 10% discount off any product in her shop to all BSP readers until January 2010 . For a chance to win, please answer the following question by Thursday, December 10, 2009.
Rachel is a self-proclaimed eternal optimist she’d like to know– What are you optimistic about?
Please start checking the winner’s box on Wednesday, December 16, 2009 to see if you’ve won. Good luck!
each new day.
I’m optimistic about my boyfriend’s ability to succeed in his pursuit of carpentry, and his goal to one day build us a house. He’s been laid off for a year now, but I know things will pick up, and he’ll be able to get the work experience he needs to finish his training. One day we will be able to live together, and I know I can help him get everything we need so that when the time comes, we’ll have our piece of land. That’s my fondest goal too, a home and garden, and him to share it with.
Having a beautiful white christmas… even though i can still see the grass!
Optimistic that I’ll find another job soon!
that everything will work out for the best
I’m optimistic in believing. That’s it. When others get discouraged, I still keep believing. A preacher told me once that I have the gift of Faith. That’s not a bad thing to have. Not bad at all.
The future! After finally getting out of an 11 year relationship that never quite worked in spite of my very best effort, I met a guy who I am (effortlessly) blissfully happy with.
That I am going to fall in love!
Each new day will bring an opportunity to be a better mama.
I’m optimistic about my future most times. Although right now it might be nothing short of a fail, it will one day clean up and I will be happy :)
I’m at the United Nations Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen right now, as is the event when they decide how all the countries in the world are going to work together to solve climate change (the UN provides free wireless, yay!) Everyone is, well, very worried that the whole thing will go terribly and it’s true, signs are not looking good and countries are disagreeing. But the simple fact is we can’t fail, failure is not an option here this month and everyone is working their socks off to achieve a positive outcome. So I am optimistic, I believe we can rise to this challenge and that we can save our selves and our planet from a very nasty destiny.
I am a freshman science teacher, which means my kids are 14-15 years old. I am optimist that they will find their way in this world and succeed!
My hubby was laid off in November and he has not found a job yet. In fact, he’s had only one interview. One person in the company tells him that he wants to hire him and that the others are mulling it over and will be for a couple of more days. Then they’ll give him a call. I’m optimistic that they will call and actually hire him. He’s good at what he does and has a good reputation in the field he’s in. I’m even optimistic that if the job should fall through, we’ll survive it all.
Life. Pretty much …
I’m not sure anymore.
I am optimistic that everything will run smoothly as I attempt my first cross-country move! I am moving from Florida to a winter wonderland, where I know one person and praying I get along with my new coworkers. I just keep throwing that energy out there, with crossed fingers AND toes, that 2010 will bring everything on my manifestation board, LOL! I try to stay positive but, I confess, I am VERY scared!
the possibility that I will become more optimistic…
I am so NOT an optimist, but having a baby has made me smile all the time. All the stupid stuff that used to bother me just dissolves away when she smiles or studies something, or a new tooth shows up. And right up until the moment I heard her first cry, I have to admit that I was a bit pessimistic about having a baby!! But it is truly the most wonderful thing that has ever happened in my life.
about my fiance coming home from his deployment overseas and starting a life with him :-)
I am optimistic that my nephew will beat the pants off his recently-diagnosed leukemia! He’s an awesome kid and he’s got such a strong support system. It’s going to be a hard road for him and his family, but I just know everything is going to turn out fine.
I am optimistic about my pizza.
I made one tonight and the crust is really getting there.
It’s not often where any topping will do it justice. Tonight’s version gave me crisped spinach leaves and tender thin onions.
I think I’ll have another piece…brb…
I’m optimistic that we’ll all figure it out one day and we’ll prevent cancer by living healthy lives.
That the weather isn’t going to get too bad this winter and that Spring will come early!
I am optimistic about becoming a parent. Like so many people my husband and I are struggling through fertility issues and attempts at having a child. It is one of my biggest dreams to be a parent and I am often consumed with that desire that sadly keeps getting rejected as attempt after attempt at pregnancy comes up as a failure but I’m not giving up hope! Justin and I are optimistic that this year brings about the opportunity to bring a child into our home. I’d be over the moon if it was one we create together but I’m also discovering that I would be equally as excited if we adopt. I’m optimistic!
I’m optimistic about the economy! I think there’s enough to go around if everyone would live responsibly and give generously to others – especially during the holidays!
i’m optimistic about my future
I’m optimistic that I will get through each day as they are handed to me… no matter how challenging they are sometimes!
I am optimistic that one day I will understand and maybe even appreciate my infertility. We are in the process of adopting a baby domestically; we wait and hope and pray that the right child will come into our family.
that a big, true love is coming my way after all these years of heartbreak and disappointment.
Im optimistic about the future.
Good things and bad things have happened to me over the years, and I know that more of both are to come. I guess I can take the bad, because it will make the good worthwhile!
love – despite the prevalence of hatred
I am optimistic about people and that there is good in everyone.
