Inner Peace

Some how this morning my inner peace is a bit stressed. For some reason on my big Mac in the study, I cannot load images onto my blog. I can do it with my laptop, but there is no fun or gain in doing that everyday working off two computers. It will grow old.  Why does it all work on the lap top and not on the big Mac?

The next thing that shakes my inner peace is my Mac Mail. talk about scrambled eggs. My new incoming mail appears in my trash mail on my mac. I have to watch both places now. This occurred this weekend after I cleaned out 15mb of email.  Wish I knew but I do not.

After much searching on the Mac Forum I did receive some positive suggestions and I have gone back in and adjusted a few things... so I am praying for a fix this morning.

True Inner Peace will be restored by simple silence and reconnecting to God and his steady assurance. A good mantra would be "Be Still, and know that I am God." By disconnecting from the outside world,  you gain strength for from the quiet of God's presence. Trusting in Him you realize instantly that the 'stuff' happening in the outside world is no longer important. What is important is trusting in Him brings peace to you. Aligning yourself with His higher power brings this inner peace.

Now I will also share I have joined the CLUB 47 challenge from Kimberly Conrad. She has committed to lose 47 pounds in 47 weeks and to sell 47 paintings for $47 and donate $4.70 to breast cancer research.   My challenge for myself is 100 minutes of exercise a week for 10 weeks,  try to loose my last 10 pounds in the next 10 months (remember I have taken off 18-20 lbs since last August), Donate 10% of the sales of my $125 paintings to Alzheimers Research.  I will figure out a way in the blog on the side to monitor my progress.  This may have to be a full artist CFAI project.

INNER PEACE....God will guide me through this as I begin this day.

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 Woman Figurative Oil Painting, Art Deco Painting, Art Abstract Painting, Women in Kitchen Oil Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

'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

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. 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...
