What's happened

So much has occurred this past year. My mother passed away in October and I moved my life to be near my Dad. The interesting thing is that it has opened me up to new artistic expression. I have become associated with a Plein Air art group that does outdoor painting in natural areas and street locations. It is helping me to stretch my artistic muscles in ways that I hadn't thought of before. Most importantly, it got me painting again and motivated to do more. I have completed three landscape and one abstract painting in the past four months. I have two more started. This is truly an amazing thing. 

This painting is called 'Before the Rain'. I did actually get rained on a bit while I was painting it. For a better view please visit my website http://artoftheage.com .

Bee deaths in Florida

The title seems to indicate that the bee deaths are a mystery but if you read the article it also mentions the spraying of pesticides just prior to the bees dying. They are doing tests to determine the cause but it seems pretty obvious. This is a devastating event for the bees, the beekeepers and farmers. We need to be better stewards of this planet.

Walk the path by St.Germain

From St. Germain:

You know the pathway, it resides in your heart. Know that it is and that everything is provided for. Let no fear encumber you as you pursue the goals of the path that leads to freedom, self-assurance and wisdom. Rise on golden wings upon the currents of fulfillment and rejoin with your soul's purpose once again. It is the time of renewal for all those who have been waiting on the sidelines these past few years. Heed the calling and remember who you are and your purpose in being here on the planet at this time. Many of you have encountered great obstacles and are now overcoming all stumbling blocks that may have been in your way. The road is clear, you may walk forward with the assurance that all is well with you. Trust yourselves to know the Way. Remember that the divine works through you all and that your divine radiance is needed now more than ever to shine forth as beacons of Light to all the people.

Stand tall and walk forard upon the pathway. Ride the currents of the divine wave that are carrying you Home. Know that you are in every way safe and secure in your journey upon the earth. Be all that you are and do not let others deter you from your rightfull path. Continue to rise above the chaos of the world around you, continue sending your light out into it, continue to show the way for others to follow. Continue, in all the sense of the word, to do what is right for you, surmount the odds and overcome all of the life issues before you. You will shine even more brightly than you did before. There is nothing in your pathway that you cannot deal with, nothing at all. Seek within and you will know the way to accomplishment of all your heart's desires. Keep taking the steps toward fulfillment and you will see the transformation of your life unfold with the speed of light.

Now is the time

For too long I have held back on doing the things that are good for me, trusting to my own instincts. I allowed the opinions of others to override my own voice, but now I am breaking with the past and the rut. I am recentering myself in the present. I have found that there are so many out there that have felt the same way. Frustrated for so long, it is time to redefine my path in life and chart the course that I want to take. I am doing it from an inner sense of knowing, using my intuitive connectivity with the universe to create joy and happiness in my life. Some call it the path of the heart, which seems an apt description. It was a rough year last year for me and for many others. My sister's passing was a bombshell in the middle of my life and caused me more upset than I could have possibly imagined. I am doing better with that now. This year has been different. The energies are more supportive of positive change and the way is clear to do the things that have been on the drawing board for so long. The messages from the spiritual side of life have been supportive of renewal. There is a certain diligence and focus required to achieve the path, but the path is there again, where I had felt it had disappeared completely. I am not alone in these feelings; I know so many other Lightworkers who have felt the same and they are also rededicating themselves to their higher purpose in this world. The calling of our hearts cannot be ignored anymore. We need to work together to make this a better world. There still so much work to be done. The planet still needs us to be who we are. The way is clear for us to walk forward and make a difference in this world.

Back to basics

After a lot of soul searching, I am returning to the things that bring meaning and joy to my life. There are so many things that I want to do with my art that I have, as yet, not done due to external events and circumstances in my life. My sister's passing in May was one of them and I am just starting to regain my equilibrium. I am returning to my pursuits of happiness and a more prosperous lifestyle.

I am doing a lot of exploring and will be posting the results shortly.
