A Different Kind of Post… Meet Loki

August 7, 2025

Hello Dear Readers,

Today’s post is a little different.
Instead of a poem or affirmation, I’m inviting you to something special. . .

A moment behind the scenes . . .

To watch a Painting of Mine come to Life!

Many of you know me for my poetry, affirmations, and photographs. . .
but another part of my creative life is

Painting Pet Portraits
It’s an art that connects me to the spirit of the animal I’m painting – and often, to the people who love them most.

My latest painting is of a strong spirited kitty named Loki.
From what I’ve been told, Loki has a heart full of love and knows exactly what he wants!

For me, while I painted him, I could feel him watching, curious as to what I was doing. And while this painting commission came during a time of personal heartache for me – there was Loki. His look offered me quiet encouragement and in a gentle way, I felt supported just by having him in front of me.

Tonight, I’m sharing his story – and his painting creation

In a special. . .

Not All I Am About

June 9, 2014

Brittainy ~ Watercolour by Patrice.

My running is not all I am about
But it is what keeps me physically healthy, grounded and at peace
Without it, I will have no focus, no inner peace.

My writing is not all I am about
But from it, I feel whole, in touch with who I am spiritually
I feel a calm, a calm fulfillment.

My art is not all I am about
It’s what I need, what I feel called to do
A yearning, a desire, a challenge, an ecstasy
It is who I am. Who I desire to be.

But not all I am about.

Painful Aspects

April 29, 2014

Willow ~ Watercolour Painting by Patrice

Painful aspects
Will not be something
I think of when
I relive my history, my art.

Onward, forward
Must be the march
No hesitation
No “What if my heart?”

Will be positive and pleased with all
Remembering the world
Gives you what you dare to dream
Dare to start.
~ Patrice
