Making the Journey with a Friend.

All the medicine in the world cannot heal someone if their heart does not want to heal. Loneliness takes the life of many people every day.. day by day, little by little, part of the mind and body pull further away from the world in their personal journey. 

Sharing time with those you love is primary. Letting people know you care about them and you are invested in their life can make a difference. Make a call today to someone you love that you have not spoken to.  My oldest friend is in Austin. We have not spoken by phone in years.  Maybe I will call her today.  I want her to know I love her and pray for her. We catch up on Facebook maybe once a month, but I miss hearing her voice.  I really do not know what is going on in her life right now.  We are all plugged in too much to our computers (yes here I sit) and our relationships are internet friendships.  I want to get back to 'in your face' relationships. I am willing to change. Are you?

Throughout this day mindfully practice gratitude for what you have and then think of someone you need to share your time with giving back to help someone else feel whole and loved. You and I can make a difference. 

"On the day I called, you answered me, you increased my strength of soul" Psalm 138:3

** Hayden and Apsen was painted as a commissioned painting back in 2007.  That family has been on a journey that would reduce most of us to total depression. They battled and faced cancer down several times with their youngest son (not Hayden).  The battle came to an end last year as he soared on angel wings to heaven. If you know someone dealing with a sick child, is there anything you can do to lighten their load?  Give where you can.

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

   © +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...
