I know I wrote about the donut hole not too long ago.  That is where you focus on what is not there instead of what is there.  When we focus on what we lack we become very hollow inside and we feel defeated and at a complete loss.  The importance is in acknowledging the 'donut' or the real things in your life that are there now.   We are all blessed to live our lives in abundance.  Our main problem is focusing on the missing things or our perceived holes in our lives.

Take a deep breath today and remind yourself you are full of the spirit.  You are blessed with His love and then let Him know how grateful you are for the things you do have right now.  You have exactly what you are suppose to have...enjoy it. Don't waste your thoughts on what you believe you are missing because you don't need it or you would have it.

On the positive donut side, I have a new tool box.  I promise to take pictures. We bought it late yesterday but could not unload it in the rain. Hopefully today we will do it. It replaces my wire basket thing and it is strong and rolls where ever I need it.  So today I will be moving it into the studio and beginning sketches on the 5 ft by 5 ft painting for my Arizona collector.  Also will try to finish up my plans for my upcoming workshop.  I think I will have one here in Mt Vernon and one at Dena Wenmoh's Ranch at the Bunkhouse.   Dallas is still not ruled out either. Eventually there will be two or three guest rooms right here at the lake in our home and you will come here to work in my studio with me.    Again if you have not emailed me to let me know you want the schedule, do so now. Email me that you are interested in receiving the workshop information.  Email here. 


OH yes, stop by the CFAI site and see the final work posted for the December Art Challenge. The winners will be up by January 1st.

A Bit of Wonder Contemporary Horse Oil Daily Painting Art by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 30 x 2 inches of thick buttery oils! Contact me to purchase: Laurie "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Psalm 118:24 It was a day of celebration yesterday as Lauren Gracen was born. Stacey began her labor around nine in the morning and was ready to push by 12:15, but they held her off while getting things set up. Took four good contractions with multiple pushes and the baby was there! All grandparents accounted for to count the toes and fingers! My admiration is for my daughter and her bravery and calmness despite the tension and newness of what she faced. I was honored to be there as the baby was delivered seeing my granddaughter push out into the light and take her first breathe... and then cry... and that she did. Terry was able to participate and he and Larry helped with pushing and getting Stacey upright for the process and then Terry was hon...

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Arrival Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans."   Worrisome times laced with prayers.   The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes.  My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years?  You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years. We are Lowe's customers, and Robert ...
