Inspirational Quote by Molly McMillan Hawkins

Hi ~

I'm a teacher, author, and artist. I've always loved Sarah Ban Breathnach's quote, 'Expect to have hope
rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons in life do not last. Spring rains will
come again."

I was painting a sunflower yesterday and wanted to write something on the painting that would give the same feeling, yet me more concise. I needed a summer reference, also, since it's a sunflower. Also, we've endured such a frigid winter, I wanted to evoke thoughts of summer.

After much thought and deliberation, I wrote this and painted it on my canvas beside the flower. You can see it on my website here: http://www.mollyhawkinsfolkart.com/

Here's my quote: "Like a summer bloom, hope returns. Expect it!" ~ Molly McMillan Hawkins

Thanks for letting me share it!
