Embracing the unseen: Great things await on the horizon, if you’re willing to keep your heart and mind open. Are you ready, or have you closed the blinds?
We all are capable of acts of kindness; whether it be to a complete stranger, or those closest to our hearts. We all do it on a daily basis. Sometimes though, we struggle to accept these gifts when they are offered to us, finding it difficult or even impossible to do so. Why is it that much of society feels that getting help, needing help, or even whispering the words “I need help” are all signs of weakness?
Lets start a new page when it comes to the conversation around help. If I may be so bold, I will begin today’s exercise. I need help in all kinds of ways. When it comes to lifting a heavy box- I need help, or when there’s a wormy thing in the room, trust me, I need the help of someone braver than myself to scoop the scary creature up, and take it outside. I ask for help and sometimes I even accept help when it is offered to me. (Sometimes!) I am still a work in progress when it comes to this portion of the exercise, but I will continue to work on saying “Yes, Thank you.” when someone offers their help. You might want to do the same. When someone offers a hand, an ear, a car, or a bag of potato chips, say “Thank you.” and graciously accept the help that they are extending your way. From personal experience, I know that when I offer help, it is because I truly want to HELP.
I have what some might consider a form of help for all of you art enthusiasts. I am happy to announce that I am now offering prints. I realize not everyone can purchase an original painting, so in an effort to make owning a piece of art a reality, I will have canvas prints available. Instead of paying $6000.00 for an original five foot painting, you could order a 30” print of the same piece for around $500.00 . I have just had my works photographed by the brilliant photographer, Michael Breakey so that my prints are of the highest quality possible. You can view his own beautiful photography at https://michaelbreakey.com/ I hope that many of you will be tickled, giggling, and overjoyed at having a fine print in your home. Do let me know how I can help you with your fine print desires. No enquiry is too small, or too silly. Most pieces on my website will be available in print form soon. Send me an email telling me which piece you are interested in and I will send you a quote, and we can go from there.
What kind of help do you need? I encourage you to write in the comments below and tell me what HELP it is that YOU NEED. Maybe someone in our community will have just what you need. Is it a kind word, some encouragement, a question answered about your particular field of work, or just a simple question about where to buy the freshest vegetables or the highest quality art supplies? Let’s help one another. I happen to think that the world can use some kindness and help about now. We don’t have to do it all on our own. Let’s help one another.

Great things are on the horizon, and it is my sincerest hope that you will graciously open your arms to them when they come your way.
