Hello Rick and Maria,

Welcome to Day 14 of Bijou's Be Well Bundle video series!

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” — Dr. Maya Angelou

“Change your expectation for appreciation and the world changes instantly.” — Tony Robbins

“Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.” — Robert Brault

Appreciate is not just a Bijouism, but also part of the first and final step in the Zentangle Method.

To appreciate something is to recognize its full worth. When Bijou reminds us to appreciate, he wants us to appreciate every aspect of our Zentangle journey, including ourselves.

When you sit down to tangle, take a moment to acknowledge the entire experience.

Appreciate the materials you have in front of you. Perhaps it is a new tile or pen... or an old favorite.

Appreciate this moment that you are taking for yourself and your own well-being.

Appreciate the art that you are creating and all of its beauty.

Appreciate you, and your contribution to the greater Zentangle mosaic. Appreciate its importance to the bigger picture of our creative world.

Appreciate others and know that others appreciate you.

Be well, be you,

Bijou
