Pink Saturday

Pink Saturday....and Everyday.....Welcome

Do you ever feel like your just tense and you can't figure out why?

I don't know if it's because I feel summer is almost over and I registered for a fall college class. Or If it's just because my summer projects did not get done. But something's got me all tense today.

This is my daughter Sarah who went to Seattle and did a labyrinth.


Sarah in the middle of her laybrinth walk

She got to the middle and yelled out "I made it Ma!"... ..Well I have no doubt that she will always make it!!!


I wish that I too had a labyrinth to walk around, because I understand when you take the time to be silent and meditate answers do come.


How do you get untensed?

Be inspired,

Good Morning Follow Artists,

I was only gone five days and look at all that has happened???

Congratulations to all the winners of the Spring Art Show 2011. This was a huge competition and helped us to see how many truly talented artists we have in our ArtsCanyon Art Gallery. I am very proud to be among all of you. Many Thanks to Gilbert for his tireless effort and belief in us and giving us such a professional site to exhibit our fine art artwork.

This week Gilbert has asked the winners to write a little about ourselves and are artwork.

I think that is a great idea for all of us to do.

What is it that you say about your artwork when people ask you???

Do you explain HOW you make it, prepare canvas, brushes, paint mixes, or do you explain WHY you choose this subject.

I think another artist might be interested in how you constructed your painting, but if you want someone to be interested and connected to your artwork they may be more interested in What motivated you to paint it.

I do a lot of conceptual artwork. People have gotten use to my paintings having a deep enlightened meaning within them, the subject, the color, texture ect... But sometimes a flower is just a flower, and when that happens, I listen to how my audience comes to me to imply a meaning. That's fun too!

Just something to think about when you write the story of the painting.

Be Inspired, Be Creative, Be Original, Be You,

Meditation Creations, Gratitude

Meditation Creations, Friday.



My new beautiful pink Gratitude Journal and my favorite candle scent Lavender & Cedarwood



It must be the time of the year. Everything I'm reading right now has something to do with Gratitude. So I'm not going to fight it, after all isn't that what Thanksgiving is all about? Being Thankful.
It takes 21 days to break a bad habit.
It takes 21 days to make a new habit.
So what do you think would happen if you took 21 days and filled a gratitude journal with all that you are grateful for and all that you love?:
Well I'm about to fink out and I invite you to do the same.
I just bought a wonderful pink journal to start my Gratitude Journal writing in.
I also went out and got a card for myself. I'm going to write an encouraging letter to myself and Send it in the Mail to me too!!!

This is my Card of Encouragement, It says, "Keep going! You can do it!, I know you have what it takes to do this!"

Here are just a few things I have collected on the subject of Gratitude.

• Every time you feel grateful for something in your life, and every time you say Thank You for something or someone in your life you are giving love. You are sending love to yourself, to the person and thing you are grateful for and to the Universe.
• Be grateful for everything you have already received in your life. This lets you understand what you have already been given.
• Be grateful for everything you are receiving in your life. As you read this you are being given many blessings now
• Be grateful for what you want in your life, as though you have received it already. I think I mentioned I believe your thoughts create your reality.
• The more you feel gratitude and the more you say Thank You, the more love you will receive in your life.
• So make a commitment to take a little time for the next 21 days to write down what your grateful for. Then start looking for little ways your life has changed.
• It doesn't matter how small things are, it all counts.

Good luck with this 21 day challenge. I'm looking forward to hearing how your life has changed.


This is not a test, so Keep calm and have a cupacke!!
