Art Abundant: Show Me The Art
http://artabundant.blogspot.com/2012/01/show-me-art.html
Monday, January 16, 2012. Show Me The Art. I've shared pretty extensively about life in general.family, ah-ha moments, blessings and perspectives. So it was brought to my attention that with all this new found blog-thusiasm, I may have omitted a significant element. Thank you, kind family and fellow bloggers who politely noted.there is NO art on this site. After all, this is a blog about art and life. Hmmmm.this could be a problem! Just an abnormal obsession with Wassily Kandinsky. The answer is both sim...

Crossing Through Windows: Listening To That Little Voice
http://crossthroughwindows.blogspot.com/2011/06/listening-to-that-little-voice.html
I’ve always been told when the student is ready the teacher will appear. It is my deepest wish that with this blog I shall learn as well as teach. Please join me in my adventure and together may we bring light to the lives of others. Friday, June 10, 2011. Listening To That Little Voice. I said to myself, I thought so! But just to be sure I went to the bedroom across the hall. Once again, nothing under the bed and nothing between the mattresses just as I suspected before I even started my search. Its bes...

Friday, January 6, 2012. A Handful of Hours. 8221; I humbly ask, “What good are a handful of hours? I’m not ashamed of my gift anymore.

In 2 Corinthians (9:7-8), scripture says “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Wednesday, January 25, 2012. Give Me The Pen. Give me the pen. 8220;Lord, I don’t want to. This is MY agenda…I need the pen to fill in the details.”.

Art Abundant: Just Do Something
http://artabundant.blogspot.com/2012/02/just-do-something.html
Wednesday, February 1, 2012. I didn’t get up and run. I didn’t get the meal plans with calorie counts laid out. I haven’t worked on my blog, paintings or book in the last few days. I had no art plans for the kids. With hands on the steering wheel and eyes on the road, distracting and discouraging thoughts plague my mind. The drive ahead looked bleak and full of more self criticizing stabs. Now, what can I do? Surely I can do something! I need a transformation of thoughts. Because I did something. Thr...

Art Abundant: February 2011
http://artabundant.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 12, 2011. I love this time of the day, especially on Saturday mornings. Just after waking, while the house is still quiet and the floor creaks as you get cozy slippers. Children and husband still asleep…maybe for 10 minutes, maybe for an hour. Shall we learn something today? Perhaps blue berry pancakes for breakfast? Maybe put up that picture collage I’ve been meaning to work on. Or maybe bring dinner to a sick friend? I love Saturdays. Life is good. May the day unfold. My confused par...

Art Abundant: January 2011
http://artabundant.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 31, 2011. Do you ever feel overwhelmed to the point of "what next? I find myself in that very spot now. I am not sure if not being able to actually finish anything I start causes this recurring state. Never-the-less I frequently find myself in it.the pattern goes something like this:. 1 I find myself void of regular responsibilities and panic (i.e. the children are both in bed early, Nayla takes an extra long nap, dinner with family led to an unexpected sleepover, etc.). Or maybe I should...

Art Abundant: March 2011
http://artabundant.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 19, 2011. This struck my heart this morning. I get disappointed. Some people think that because you have a positive outlook you never get frustrated or angry or upset. That is far from the truth. The truth is what you do with it that matters. This is artful living. One source defines art as "process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way to affect the senses or emotions.". I am disappointed when I forget an important birthday or anniversary. You, my brothers and sisters, w...
