Wonderful...I am so glad to hear that. You are absolutely right...we might not have control of the things happening around us, but we certainly have control of how we react to the situations we are in. And..God, well, when we know He has us, that makes all the difference. We have the peace that passes all understanding. Like today and al…
Wonderful...I am so glad to hear that. You are absolutely right...we might not have control of the things happening around us, but we certainly have control of how we react to the situations we are in. And..God, well, when we know He has us, that makes all the difference. We have the peace that passes all understanding. Like today and all the weird news going on...I could lose my shit. But, when I realize that it is within my power to turn all of it off and get outside with God, that is the real power and the real peace. So many pontificate upon the woes of this land and the people, whether real or imagined or propagandized and think they can change their behavior to change minds, people or things out of their control. Yeah, no. In my mind I picture myself and what I call the big pan out...like in a movie when the camera focuses on a person, then pans up and out, passing all things and ends up with the view of the earth from space and we get the idea of how small we actually are in the reality of this globe. Thank God for God!!
I probably saw you back in the day. Even though you didn't get much air time. 😂. I used to be a school teacher, and would love to come home and just watch the taped VCR shows of Oprah and Martha Stewart. Dr. Phil lost me pretty soon out of the gate. I left my teaching position after Columbine, as the bomb threats were coming into my "elite" school daily, and some students even set a bomb off at my school at night. One parent was a lawyer though, and one was a judge, so the school system never let it leak to the media. I got out of there that year, and God blessed me with a way to make a living off of my art. Oprah definitely looks like she has ice in her veins to me now. But that's with all the hindsight. And Martha Stewart doing those Pfizer commercials. 🤢. I'm just glad I have a good life and I'm not afraid to stay as informed as possible. Denial is a spiritual disease. A lot of our fellow Americans are currently quite affected by it. I try to hold them up in prayer. 🙏. I like that you responded openly and earnestly and honestly to the question that Oprah and team posited. It sounds like it was a positive catalyst to help you get in touch with yourself. You're probably glad in hindsight they didn't have time to get to your story. But you are writing your own story every day, and you get to live it. Good for you. 👏👏👏👏
What a blessing to have been able to make a living off of your art! Congratulations! And good for you to respond to rising neck hairs to move on when it was time. I agree with you about Martha too--her recipes are usually terrific, but those machete commercials about the vax--just awful. Now that you mention it, thank GOD they didn't get to me on the show. I never thought about that. It would have been even more cringy.

Susan Catherine, What you did was years ago in a galaxy far away. You are on a different planet now than what was then. People even vacation here.
Beautiful view! Thank you for sharing it.
