Standing still
And
Breathing deep
The world comes into focus.
Then I know
Know what I need to leave
And
What I need to keep.

I do remember
Your loving grace
The innocent smile upon your face
Your strong embrace.
I do remember
Shelter in a troubled world
Your ability of slowing down
A hectic pace.
I do remember
A simple kind gesture
Sweetness on your face
A peaceful existence.
All this I do
I do remember.

Wishing all Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas! 😀
When I heard you
Calling me
My heart stopped
It skipped a beat.
Tell me why
I can be alone
Lost without you
Near me.
You make me whole
A life to love
With arms wrapped
Around my soul.
Your heart, my heart
Filled with love
Together always
In everlasting love.

Another year is about to begin and here is
my 2023 Art & Affirmation Calendar
to inspire, uplift you each and every month
for a price of $20.00
My calendar is a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ standing flip calendar.
It features each month, an inspirational Affirmation
and selected Art, created from one of my Pet Portrait Commissions.
$2.00 from the sale of each Calendar
will go to
Inugoya Rehoming and Rehabilitation.
A non profit organization mainly focused on German Shepherds and Rottweilers
but when they’re able, assist with other working breeds.
A very special organization, deserving of all the help we can give them.

Let me figure it out
Thoughts run through my mind
trying to see the answer to make everything
I want to happen
come about.
Think seriously, think again
see the path, the way
construct how I’m going to get there
the why, where
and
how it’s going to come about
Let me sit down quietly
take a deep, soft breath in
think
figure it out.
