“Summer Cottage” Daily Painting #16

November 8, 2007

“Summer Cottage” is an acrylic painting on an 8”x10” unframed canvas. I used another beautiful photograph from the lovely & talented photographer, Maryanne Brunetti from New Zealand. She sent this photograph a while back and I always think of it. It is just beautiful. When I close my eyes and imagine what my future painting studio will look like… THIS is exactly what I see. Isn’t it just heavenly? You’ll never get me out of it… (probably a good thing☺)

The weather is starting to turn colder here in Los Angeles. It’s hard to believe a week ago I was surfing on the beach in Maui. I must still be there in my mind. It’s always summer in my head. I do enjoy the change in temperature I must say. I finally get to wear my Uggs & sweaters outside. And since the fires seem to be contained, the air isn’t smoky anymore. It’s all good.

As you all know by now, I’ve been working on my new web page www.GodBlessHumanity.com for a while now and it’s been live for a few weeks. The response has been incredible. Many people from all over the world are interested in sharing good news stories on the site. This just puts the biggest smile on my face. Sometimes I start to doubt myself and realize that is natural and I just have to get back to a place of JOY and only allow thoughts that make me feel good stay in my head. Meditating helps keep me in that state. I’ve been using the audio CD of Wayne Dyer’s “Meditations for Manifesting” in the mornings and just started to listen to the evening meditation before bed. I can’t express how much of a difference it makes in my mood, attitude and how I react to events in the world. The following quote fits right in here:

"Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires...courage."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

So I will continue to go with my inner calling and only listen to my instincts. It’s worked over and over my entire life.

Peace & blessings,
