"In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16

Yesterday Neal Donald Walsh spoke of "that is does not good to think in any way negatively about yourself. Not even a little good."

Often when I look in the mirror in the morning, like this morning... at 5:00 am, I first notice my eyes and know how they are begging me to climb back into bed. Then I travel down to see the relaxed posture of "Just out of Bed".... and I stand up a bit taller as I stretch out my muscles. Dr Oz on Oprah always addresses the need to stretch as you get up every morning. Makes moving easier. (Okay so you youngsters out there under the age of fifty have absolutely no clue, ... but one day you will.) What a mess with tangled hair and swollen eyes.....the saggy reflection I see is not what I feel. (I would like to say I feel 30, but I am way smarter now than I was then, so let's say I feel like I am forty.)

The mirror reflects not only our physical appearance but our spiritual appearance as well....look
into your eyes.

Breathing deeply and holding air tightly inside, I stretch my arms up trying to reach the 16 ft ceiling. I feel the fullness of the air in my lungs expanding and my body begins to feel alive. The sleepy grouchy look from the mirror fades as I praise God for the new day. My reflection boasts a new glow of being ready to live and give.

Each day we have the uncanny ability to emotionally beat ourselves up. It could be the reflection in the mirror; it could be the cookies we are hiding in the cabinet; it could be something said in conversation the day before. Most of us beat ourselves up over and over again not feeling worthy. Neale suggests our negative thoughts could fill more than one lifetime.

I am suggesting the next time you look in the mirror you see the God-child within. As you embrace His spirit working through you, others will see it as well. Allow your own inner spiritual light out to shine on others. We are indeed kindred spirits....

Shine on in the Spirit of God,

Laurie

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting.

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
