  • Painting and a New Goal

  • This Is A Test

    I’m not a computer techie. So when I say this is a test, it is a test to see if I can stay calm and know that God will provide the answers when I’m dealing with computer stuff. I have an external drive but I quit using it because I thought it wasn’t working. I…

  • Just Taking One Step At A Time

    The chaos that I use to endure in my head has stopped because I have just started taking one step at a time.  It’s easy to get all wound up with all the things needed to be done as an artist and human being.  Once I let go of the chatter and the “gotta do…

  • What’s Next in the Journey?

    I know many are writing goals for 2012.  I too have some ideas because I want to know what’s next on my journey.  Belief and hope are part of the process.  One goal is about clarity. Sometimes I can go around in circles and confusion and never see the bigger picture.  I can be blinded…

  • Gratefulness

    When I look back on my early years as a child,  I am grateful that I don’t have to carry bitterness or unforgiveness.  I’m free of all that.  Whew!!!! Why carry all that muck around for years and years?  Even though my parents weren’t Christian, I had a picture of Christ on my wall knocking…

  • Peace of Mind is a Choice

    Here I am going through my e-mails, new advisements on how to make my website or blog better and confusion gets in my head.  Instead I choose to be content and have peace of mind by walking away until I’m truly ready to deal with that information.  I can let all the jabber and chaos…

  • Gearing Up for Fall & Showing in Magazine

    The  month of August was a time to concentrate on painting and my husband’s health.  Now I’m gearing up for fall.  What is it that after a long hot summer you’re ready to  start moving and as the saying goes, grooving.  I guess, it’s when we were kids we were ready for school in September,…
