Love, and love alone, is capable of giving thee a happier life. --Ludwig van Beethoven
We are making a response to life every waking moment; our attitudes formulate the tenor of our responses. When the sun warms our bodies and the flowers tease our nostrils, it may be easy to love everyone and smile. When we have a negative attitude, we may snarl and all too quickly criticize innocent bystanders, as well as friends and family. All we need is to make a simple decision to look with love as far as our eyes can see.
When our hearts are God-centered and filled with love and laughter, we'll find no experience too difficult to handle. No problem will evade its solution for long.
An attitude of love promises us gratitude in abundance. We'll never doubt that all is well when love is at our center.

I'm finding this to be true more and more every day.

Have a great weekend!

a friend of mine has got me thinking about doing a craft show in march. she's begging me to paint something to sell. i took a step in that direction by buying more canvases. michael's had them on sale this week and i bought six 11x14 and four 8x10 canvases. i want to be able to offer a variety of size, design and prices. depending on how the painting of these goes, i'll decide if i want to do some bigger ones. would someone like to offer ideas for subject matter? based on what you've seen in the past, where do you think i'm strongest? which paintings would you have paid money for? be honest and serious. this is my wallet we're talking about! i don't want to put out a bazillion dollars on canvas and paint and not make a profit (or even a sale) come march...

also, get your thinking caps on about what you might need for yourself or for holiday gift giving in the way of mk products. i'm going to have a web party soon, maybe thanksgiving day or a black friday sale of my own! details coming soon. it's gonna be a good sale!

one day i'm gonna have time to come around and read all of your posts. i feel so lost and disconnected from all of you!
stay beautiful.
