Forgive the hurt, release your pain
Embrace the here and now today
No looking back, without delay
Create your joy and then maintain
Harmony’s pleasing to attain
Have peace of mind around the clock
Euphoric state will be a shock
Decide to change your condition
Right here, right now, grant permission
Free the emotional gridlock

softly she whispered
as her final hour had come,
she transitioned to
a place where pain and sadness
are gone, never to return.

Plant
the seed
of your desire.
Pray
but work
until you tire.
Release
always
keeping the faith.
Hope springs eternal!

Shay was a lover of the arts and these walls reveal a world she shared with no one. To a closed mind it seems confusing, but Shay’s colorful imagination expresses a life she views peripherally, through the eyes of her alter ego. Shane’s story is invigorating and guaranteed to spark creativity.

It feels so good to be back with my blog community! But I must say, taking the break I did was much needed. I think “overdue” is a more accurate term. It’s a hard adjustment and one I always claim to be managing well, but I’m learning a few lessons about being still when my body says so. I tend to regularly operate without an adequate amount of quality sleep, but depriving the mind and body of ample rest and relaxation can present symptoms no one should ignore. I’ve enjoyed traveling and everything else I’ve done this year, but I think I’m going to slow it down for at least the next month or so and enjoy some less stressful activities, like visiting museums, theaters, and sports venues. Hopefully the Spring weather will finally catch up with its season so I can simply bask in the beautiful sunshine at the beach.
This week I tried a little something new. I know I’m late partaking in these popular events but hey – better late than never! It was the perfect therapeutic exercise and something I had no idea I’d enjoy so much. If you have an appreciation for art, paint & sip type events are the way to go. It’s a simple concept – you paint while sipping your drink of choice. I attended one with an instructor that was so encouraging, supportive, and such a blast to be around I felt completely inspired. Not only did I enjoy myself, but I’ve become so interested in painting techniques I may just find a class or someplace where I can learn more about the fine art of canvas painting. I’ve invested in so many other artists’ work over the years, why not invest in my own instead! Who knows, I could be so lucky as to have my series in a Royal Palace. LOL
I trust you all to not be too brutal, so kindly share your thoughts on my first piece.
