  • Keeping The Faith

    No matter what circumstances that you come up against, you’ve got to keep the faith. Just having the right attitude and faith can help give you peace.  I know.  I used to be a person that would get frustrated at even the littlest things.  That’s because I learned in my childhood that chaos was normal…

  • Be Still and Know (this is for all)

    It seems that most of us are rushing around doing lots of mundane things and thinking we are accomplishing so much.  I’ve done busy work. Now I’m connecting with being still and have a quiet knowing.  Listening to my heart instead of to my head provides a wider view and then the confidence of doing…

  • To Everything There Is A Season Of Waiting

    As an artist on this earthly journey, I’ve learned patience. Now no one wants to deal with waiting but it’s a time of growth.  We don’t become mature without some hard or lean times to refine us in the fire.  So I’ve  worked on balance and not being so intense.  I used to have a…

  • Resistance Tells A Story

    A pocket of resistance comes to the fore and hits me on the head.  Not knowing where it comes from I have to be aware that I’m fighting something that is deeper than what I think it is on the surface.  Here I am in my 60’s and still finding out more and more about…

  • The lowdown on my absence

    I’ve been very busy with redoing my website.  I had a great webmaster (www.Abacuddd.com) Pete Fellner for 9 years.  He’s gotten busy going back to school.  So I decided to do my own website. If I hadn’t been forced to go to an IMAC , I wouldn’t have done it.  The people at Apple were so…

  • Life is More Than Half Full

      Attitude is everything. If we approach life with arms open wide we get a more fuller life.  I know that personally in my own life.  Having been in a dysfunctional family and having polio and losing the use of my left arm plus other things could  have made me a bitter woman.  But I’ve…

  • Where My Heart Is

      It’s amazing how we get off track so easily. I realized this week where my heart is.  I used to spent many, many hours a week painting but I had gotten out of that habit and into the habit of business, like social media and networking and cutting back on painting.   I wasn’t…

  • Spending Time With Yourself

      Getting caught up with all the wonderful things on the web? It’s tempting but I’m finding I need to spend time with myself.  All the noise is coming from the outside and I need quiet to really look at my goals and be specific.  In the art world with all the changes that came…

  • I’m Back!!!!!!!

    My blog has been down for a long time.  My computer crashed before Thanksgiving and since I decided that I’m not going to deal with a PC anymore I had to wait until money  came in and I was back from Minneapolis.  I am a proud owner of an I-Mac now.  Getting used to it…

  • Building Up Your Endurance

    Hi Fellow travelers,  On this exciting journey that we are on, we can learn about ourselves and others.  Rather than moan about how bad everything is, I’ve become a new creature in Christ.  That means looking at situations in a new way and thanking God for the teaching to help me grow.  So I now…
