“Even if you cannot change all the people around you, you can change the people you choose to be around. Life is too short to waste your time on people who don’t respect, appreciate, and value you. Spend your life with people who make you smile, laugh, and feel loved.” Roy T Bennett The Light in Heart

The Painting

This was one of my smaller Painted Pony Pulls of color. The colors rock the scale with the bright yellow heating up the composition and the reds slicing up next to the yellow. The action lies in these primary colors and secondary colors all working the surface. I would love to paint one just for you in your fav colors!

How to Change Other People

Things can bother all of us, but usually 'things' are attached to actions of other 'people. One of the things we learn early in life is how to blame the nearest person. Perhaps the blame is our own. When we are suffering our initial tendency is to blame someone else or blame a situation for things going wrong causing our high level of stress.

It is true, if someone was intentionally trying to hurt you and stepped on your foot... your foot is throbbing and you have a person to blame and a situation you cannot change. Often situations arise from the decisions of others and those decisions affect us. Our choice is not to change the situation or the person, but to change our own position and our reactions.

By reflecting and examining your current reactions, you are able to adjust your responses. I encourage you to be a person of positive flexibility. Look for the good side. Believe in yourself because you have full control over your reactions.

Today it is necessary to always seek a lighter side. Do not take everything seriously. Positive psychology can create positive change in our nation. You actually empower others by leading by example.

An optimistic mindset is infectious; it lays the groundwork for individual and collective success. Research shows changing your view to be more optimistic can create a positive reaction from others and spread outward. It starts from within your heart and then your words and actions.

In today's world, it is time to adjust our mindsets and switch to an optimistic view. Our current climate points blame in numerous directions and yet no one claims responsibility for the jobs they are doing or not doing. Let it start with you... share positivity to others nearby. They in turn will continue to spread it to others.

“The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and He knows those who take refuge in Him. " Nahum 1:7

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 ...

The Marsh... of our lives? Walking with God.

© Laurie Pace Graphics One Design 2024 The Marsh 6 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas SOLD by Laurie Pace I did two of these paintings about three years ago. They both sold immediately to a Florida Collector. Simple and elegant for a horse painting. Ephesians 5:1-2 "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma." One of the biggest challenges in walking with God is trusting Him and not trying to out think Him or to do everything your way. It never works. The Apostle Paul wrote of his own struggles in Romans 7 . Romans 7: 22-23 “ So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the ...
