Quote for the day:

***

I've noticed that a lot of people consider 'finding yourself' to be a really frivolous and unproductive study. I'm not sure why. Everything important in life really seems to get down-played so children can be encouraged to join the rat race and make as much money as possible, instead of being told that they should be happy first.

Happy day everyone.

I have a busy day ahead...tons of coaching clients booked...and a new work on the easel. My two boys...I swear, I don't know if it's just that they are so close in age or if it's just that stage in their lives, but they can not go more than ten minutes at any given time without fighting about something...or in their case...nothing at all.

O.M.G!

I want to knock their heads together most of the time these days.

Boys!

I shaved the dog this weekend...I don't have the money for a groomer for Mr. Wiggles...so I thought... what the heck... I could do it.

Two hours and 17 pounds of hair...later...

my dog is now so embarrassed he won't go for his walks and keeps looking at himself in the mirror asking us if his ass really looks that big, and is this what having mange looks like?

What a baby.

In three weeks that haircut will be perfect.

The cat won't stop laughing at him.

Well, it's that wonderful time in the morning when we wake the shaved apes (my boys) and strong arm them into clothes that are clean, feed them, pack their lunches and keep them from beating each other up till I can send them to school...

I am off to face the day.

I do have new art to share, and will do that tomorow. It's just been one of those weeks when I a feel like I am running up a going down escalator.

Aiiiee!

Grace and Grit.

Raw and Radiant.

Have a good one all,

Heather

Quote(s) for the day...

***

"Individualism, as a definition of holding to personal ideals, is classed as obstinacy and anti-social.

Inevitably we run point blank into the evils of compromise.

When compromise enters our moral fibre, it spreads like a cancerous growth.

We think we plan adequate safeguards around areas in which we contemplate yielding our standards, but once we lower the fence and break our strong will to do right, come what may, we expose ourselves to forces that spread beyond control.

Compromise always starts on some rather insignificant principle.

The dangers of yielding seem negligible and we usually risk those things first where observation and detection by others is difficult.

We thus seek to avoid censure and discipline.

In a short time we find ourselves trading our principles

for false values and doing it in the

black market of human relationships. . . ."

~Ralph W. Hardy

Busy today with a new canvas...

a world of possibility dressed all in white...

and putting the final touches on the New Fairy World.

(the freaking moon finally dried)

I did start and finish a work over the weekend that has nothing to do with

the Fairy World show but I don't like it very much,

it's dark and murky from being overworked

(read: not knowing when to stop and leave it alone...Aaaiiieee!)

and not having the paint supplies that I

wanted to do the project in the first place.

Oh well...I keep on keeping on...

So, I am happy to return to the

Gallery Showings works...

as that's really where my mind,

heart and energy need to be.

I move forward with grace and grit...

such is life.

I am not bitter mind you...

just utterly determined to not lose my

focus at this moment in time

by trivial obstacles to my success...

such as wants verses needs.

I am iron woman...

*Grins*

Have a great Monday all,

hope the world is a welcoming

place for you to be today.
