Welcome to my website. It's a work in progress that changes with the seasons. Thanks for taking the time to stop by.

Winter brings quiet time working on improving my website, writing, business building, and working on indoor projects. I'll be adding more website bells and whistles for 2010, including some additional web pages that feature my art for sale. I'm also working on a print-on-demand version of Inner Abundance, e-book versions of my Artful Living books, and other good things. Watch for new links and announcements in coming weeks.

Abundance is...
branches outlined against a winter sky
days getting longer
winter sun pouring in the kitchen window
hot soup shared with a friend
warm woolen mittens
a bouquet of roses to brighten a winter day

Blessings!

Candy

…perfect love casts out fear. I John 4:18 (RSV)

Fear believes . . . there is never enough.
Love believes . . . there is plenty for everyone.

Fear believes . . . the worst about people and situations.
Love believes . . . the best about people and situations.

Fear believes . . . there is only one right answer.
Love believes . . . there are many ways to understand something.

Fear believes . . . you have to change others through manipulation and coercion to get
what you want.
Love believes . . . real change comes from the heart, starting with your own heart.

Fear believes . . . things will never change.
Love believes . . . any situation can be transformed by the power of love.

Fear believes . . . that everything must be mapped out ahead of time.
Love believes . . . that you can trust the process.

Fear believes . . . in negative thinking.
Love believes . . . in positive choice.

Fear believes . . . the damage is done.
Love believes . . . healing can happen.

Fear believes . . . if you're not a success by now, you must be a failure.
Love believes . . . you're only a failure if you give up on your dreams.

Fear believes . . . life is cheap.
Love believes . . . life is precious.

Fear believes . . . anyone different is "them.”
Love believes . . . there is only "us."

Fear believes . . . it's too late.
Love believes . . . it's never too late.

Fear believes . . . the situation is impossible.
Love believes . . . a solution can be found.

Fear believes . . . that fifteen minutes of fame makes you important.
Love believes . . . we are all important.

Fear believes . . . people are disposable commodities.
Love believes . . . people are sacred.

Fear believes . . . in proving your own superiority over others.
Love believes . . . in honoring the greatness in others.

Fear believes . . . that everything needs to hyped.
Love believes . . . in quiet strength and simple faith.

Fear believes . . . no one is listening and no one cares.
Love believes . . . in prayer.

Where there is great love, there are always miracles.— Willa Cather
