This one is cropped a bit too much on one side. You can actually see the full beak  and more of  the tail feathers of the crow in the original, as you can see in the below work in progress.

“You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestation of your own blessings.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert

I love Elizabeth Gilbert. She changed my life. I read Eat, Pray, Love when I turned 40 and was inspired to start painting ‘for reals’. Her book and a lot of other things, just seemed to line up before me and make sense to my 40 year old brain.  I know they say, “when the student is ready, the teacher will appear” … I was so ready and I am so grateful I had so many great teachers, Elizabeth being one of the best. If you haven’t read her new book, Big Magic, you should.

Other teachers I am grateful for? Julia Cameron, Eckhart Tolle and Deepak Chopra all played a significant role in making me believe I am an artist and to quieten the voices that would say otherwise.

Thank you.

I leave you with this:

TEA LEAVES

It’s not possible to see into the future. This is a good thing.

That said, I sure do waste a lot of time trying to predict it, change it … or just worry about it.  Enough of that.

As I gaze into my cup of tea today, I will shut my eyes and enjoy the steam on my face. The warmth of the cup in my hand. The sweet smell. The taste.

I will not search the tea leaves for answers because that not only takes away the pleasure of the tea I am presently drinking, it may make my future tea taste bitter with resentment.

“Every dreamer knows that it is entirely possible to be homesick for a place you’ve never been to, perhaps more homesick than for familiar ground.”
