Choose." Melina Marchetta I did not even want to ‘share my thoughts today’ after I read this…but I want to share the rest of the quote. “This hand says you spend the rest of your life with me," he said, holding out his left hand, "and this one says I spend the rest of my life with you. Choose." She bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes. She took both of his hands in hers and he shuddered. "I will die protecting you," he says. There

Today, Terry took me shopping to find something ‘dressy’ to wear to an event this weekend.  After loosing more weight since Thanksgiving, my closet only has jeans and tops in it… and some sweaters. Most every thing is swimming on me.  The word dress or any form of it emerging into dressy does not exist.   He was in full determined game, but we should have gone to the mall and not to the Southlake Town Center.    He was more determined than me.  We  started at Anthropologie  ( I think that was the name of it.) Wonderful  bri

He wants us to use His blessings to bless others.  He wants us to bless anyone in need, whether they are friend or foe.  He knows your every need before you even know about it. He knows your every want as well.  He will always continue to provide if you are generous with what you have been provided.   We do not 'own' what we have. We are all but stewards in our lifetime of everything we have

Not my regular approach to the canvas. I began with sheet music on the foundation.  I do not recall the song, but I can see the music in the painting. It is BEEN THERE.  Been there for sure... through the seasons of every year.  The constant for me is God, and the movement of the sun and the moon with the seasons.  I was looking th

Pure Justus ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          "I can still remember the feel in my hand of that most wonderful American coin ever minted, a nickel with a buffalo on one side and the head of an Indian on the other. That nickel was a daily proof of our country's past. Bring it back!" Paul Engle This Buffalo painting I will be finishing up in the next week, along with a new buffalo piece on the easel today.  When I read this quote, I immediately was pulled back into a gentler time to when you collected Buffalo nickels and glass bottles for money, read comic books and swam at the city pool.  Unlike today's world, that was an easier, more gentle time. Nothing like the contemp

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity  to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel  that there is something in them To look at the sunny side of everything  and make your optimism come true.... ” Christian D Larson  'Your Forces and How to Use Them' There is a mixture in our lives of happy times and moments, of feeling good and on top of things...and equally the sorrowful times and the storms moving through. We each find ways to walk this earthly journey and learn through our experiences good and bad, where our true strength is found.  I depend on my faith and

He is my true love."  I have known this man since I was eleven years old.  I feel after all these years I know almost all facets of his personality. Being so sure of his love... his unwavering care to protect me and provide for me fills my heart.  Forty plus times in th
