Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting

Excuse Me Your Life is Waiting, Lynn Grabhorn

This is the missing piece! I think she could have done the same with a book half the size, but the point is hammered home. It is not just about thinking your way rich, thin, happy, successful, healthy, abundant, or any other way you want to be, but it is about “feeling” your way there. Can you put yourself into that place where you feel as you will when you get there?? In other words, can you feel what it will be like to be prosperous, to be successful in business, to be in a loving relationship, to be healthy and fit, to travel as you desire. Feeling your way is the key. Many of us operate from our intellects and our minds only and forget the critical conneciton that the heart plays in our lives. Grabhorn shows us clearly the significance and necessity of learning this heart/mind connection. A quick read, and invaluable tidbits.

Living By Design: Ties That Bind

On the recent trip I made, I had not seen my Aunt, Uncle or cousins in over 25 years. I truly hadn’t realized it had been that long and certainly didn’t intend it to happen. They are on my Father’s side of the clan and since he doesn’t stay in touch with me or them particularly the tie was weakened.

Seeing them was like old home week! It was amazing to be able to pick up where we had left off so long ago as if no time at all had passed. They were able to share valued memories of my Mother (gone now over 20 years) and even a few tales of my Father. Best of all was a sense that these are the folks that I come from. I am not sure I had ever needed that feeling before. But enjoying my relatives effusiveness, and ability to talk nonstop, I realized this is where I got those qualities and suddenly it all made much more sense.

I made sense! It is almost like looking in a mirror of sorts and realizing who I am and what I mean.

It is invaluable to have that feeling and that knowing, that it doesn’t matter how much time passes, what successes or lessons learned take place, where I travel to, and who I meet, this part of my family will always be there. They are wonderfully grounded, real, practical, and an integral part of who I am. While parts closer, like my Father, may not be nearly so available or open, these individuals provide a connective warmth and tie that will bind in the best way forever.
I would encourage you to find the ties that bind with a bow and not a suffocating knot in your own family. Yes, friends that have become family count too. I’ve never believed blood was thicker than water, based on my own experiences. And now I know that if you have the luxury of family you can talk with, laugh with, and share time with however rarely, do it. Don’t wait, don’t put it off, and don’t think it will be there next time.

Radio Sandy Springs Announces The Art Full Life, Hosted by Melissa Galt

Yes, it’s true! In May, I have agreed to launch a radio show based on my former Evening at Emory class, Gallery Hopping. The Art Full Life brings that and more to listeners every week. With insightful and intriguing interviews with artists, gallery owners, and collectors, in Georgia, the Southeast and beyond, I will illustrate how art connects one to life, influences our paths, and celebrates the artist.

My favorite way to begin any design project is with art from the heart, a piece or collectiong that holds unique meaning for each client. You’ll enjoy tips on collecting, dos and don’ts on display, and even get the essential ins and outs of framing your pieces. Celebrate your creative spirit and get inspired every Friday at 2pm starting in May, with The Art Full Life !
