Thursday's Grace Notes
Thursday's Grace Notes
Seeing things in a different light, be very careful with what you for... God just may be listening again, all of my guardian angels , my new courier service... affordable, professional and insured, (I'm back!), many years ago Glenn and I had the privilege of being the Jax. Lupus Facilitators. My doctors would schedule new Lupus patients before and after my appts to gently hold their hands and support them while my doctor smiled and kept giving me the "thumbs up sign" behind their back, cute,. I don't know where that Nancy is but I think that I can find her AND being so absorbed in my work yesterday that I didn't know that my watch was upside down until 5:00 in the afternoon. I love my life!

If you are a Christian, you are welcome here, Atheist, "Father Mother God", or just "hanging out" you are welcome here and we all can learn from each other, hanging out with "half baked Christians... no wait that's me! LOL, being a trained facilitator since I was 23... yes I have always been weird, so much healthier but Doctors and nurses are still calling me to "check in", turning a gossip into a "but bless her heart, let's pray for her" is still a gossip, if I'm going to do something, make it fun! and cleaning teams that work extra hours just to truly take care of me and to get down to the nitty gritty are really not gaining a great profit but they are making God's day.

I am so happy I can barely stand it!

Hey performing artists! Need to find a gig? Get over your sweet self. Start small. Face book it, Youtube it, volunteer... if you're good soon you will be choosing which opportunities to decline from.
Sounds like good advice, huh?
That is unless you are a ceramic artist.
Don't waste your time
Invest in your career, not someone elses.

What does social media mean to you?
Enter your name, business, links, blogs, support groups... are you out there? And I don't mean like Pluto. Check on "the web" and "images". Do it at least weekly. It really becomes kind of fun.... and like it or not visual/performing artist this will become your new "bread and butter"... or your prime rib. That's where YOU and I come in.
Let's work together on this... life is always more fun with an experienced friend to send you in the right direction.
Celebrate the day!

Anybody out there and have 5 kids and have said "What was I thinking?" Hello. How about being 50 yrs old with 5 rockin' kids? Hello! This is a posting about my big Sister Michele and my brother in love Chip. They are a true witnesses to what parenting and love has the potential to be. I was a very good mother, the best of the best and I never had a clue. Did I mention that my beautiful sister has MS? They have so much to teach, so much to share and so many people to encourage.
Please help them to continue to encourage others if nothing more than sharing this post?
Oh and by the way. Michele is a powerhouse. You rarely see her without a smile on her face and seems to always find the funny side in everything.
I want to be like her someday when I grow up.
They call themselves the "Rainbow Clannad"
While I "celebrate the day"
Her motto is "Living the dream.

Sunday's Grace Notes
Sunday's Grace Notes
Sleeping 7 1/2 hours straight! Good golly Miss Molly! Church is not for perfect people and that is why I miss it so much... I fit right in, able to eat an almost full bowl of cereal, lighting a candle just for me and taking the time to slowly smell the lingering scent before I blow it out, old dogs that carry 1/2 of the "Nature Preserve" back inside with them to share, burning my delicious dinner but there is always tomorrow, "Joel Osteen" ( Mr Smiley) and Nancy Asbell both smiling too much... Okay! If they shared the outlook "Choose not to be a victim but a victor" they'd be smiling too. Come one! It's good endorphins. I still have legs... and they hurt... and how can I not be praising God... I still have legs... and they hurt... and, and, I get it. Bring it on! Praise God! I found my marbles. They were in my chest. Now I just have a nice calming pur of a cat before he plans his next attack. Yeah.... I crack myself up. I have to do something between snacks. Seriously though, at least I have a beautiful bed to take naps in. Tomorrow I am going to get my voice back to sing. Even Panda misses it.

Saturday's Grace Notes
I wake up and I still hurt and God says "I know. And you are never alone".
A lot of people don't like me. I mean, how can she "be suffering" and still be able to post these "Grace Notes?" Oh just gag me with spoon! (I wouldn't suggest that. It sounds very painful from here), I mean she just about gives her art away. She cheapens the work for of all of us. Okay. Let's play a game. You are told by a doctor that you have 30 days to live. What will you do? Something good I hope. Okay how about 3 months to live? The Mayo Clinic says that I almost died 11 times in the last two years. They say that they cannot take credit. It was my faith, incredible will to live and attitude. Now they say that I live "on a tight wire"... every day is a miracle for me. Today? Tomorrow? I and my family know where I'm going. So I unclench my hands and I give free advice to international art lovers, very cheap coaching to artists/performers (if they are really serious about their business) my talents? Eh, landscape artists are a dime a dozen. My overwhelming amount of experience/wisdom in social media/marketing? Extremely good.
At the end of the day I am telling Jesus "I hurt" he says "I know and you are not alone".
Every day I will selfishly be posting my Grace Notes. They help to keep me alive.
You can always "change the channel."
You see, I am the lucky one.

No wait! Don't change the channel!
Have you ever paused to think about the hows and whys you became the person that you've become? Well I do and there is always someone to blame. Yup. That's when we begin w/ our parents and it usually is not on a high note. That's the trend, right? I could play along but no I would be throwing more of Gods Blessings back in His face.
So play along, please. Yes. Pun intended.
I was born premature. The Dr gave my mother this way too small baby and says "be careful. She can't have much stress... good grief. I really liked that different drummer. (http://asbellarts.blogspot.com/2012/02/moses-had-aaron-i-had-michele.html
I was geeky and very talented. Sometimes poor as church mice my Mom made sure that we always had the finest art supplies, piano lessons, two pianos so we wouldn't fight over who's turn it was to get to play, Michele and I sang and harmonized ALL THE TIME! She made sure that I had voice lessons, two of the best guitars money could buy, encouraged us to be in every play, no matter how stupid our costumes looked and cried every time that she heard me sing lyric soprano as I majored in voice with scholorships..
No Don't let me confuse you. It's not Mothers day, but she is 86 years old and I have a life threatening disease. Why wait. Life is WAY too important.
Celebrate the day
I love you Mommy.

My cup runneth over... quick I need to empty my hands before I "waste" my blessings, Don't tell me that people on facebook are superficial... you people are way too good and supportive to carelessly discard with such words while YOU grace ME with another blessed day, I woke up with a chest cold and realized that as long as I don't laugh or giggle I wont break into a caughing spell. I'm, "okay" and then it hit me, I live by myself and laugh that much? Where is Nancy and, you've heard it again "where did she go?" Today I need to slow down.... but I can still play the guitar and piano just no singing.

Chonda.org. Great way to begin the day w/ a great laugh, looking forward to recess, a snack then an afternoon nap... I love Kindergarten! LOL I keep receiving new music and art students that are so talented that maybe I should pay them!,, I may not be the most talented person but I am very good at marketing myself... can I help you as well? "open my eyes so that I may see" Oh my gosh! It's a beautiful day out there and I haven't even opened the front door yet!, clothing myself w/ humility... I may be a bit overdressed today, my new self imposed BIG seven day weekly planner so that I can "get it all done".
Okay. Once again I talked too much....

Having dried paint on my hands while I work on the computer... oh happy day! Transporting one of my shows from downtown to St Johns, it is nice to be fully involved again, the neighborhood ducks are no longer afraid of me when I roll on by with my chair, if I want more friends then I have to be one, giving thanks when when thanks is due... and especially when it is not, finding joy in the ability to pay my JEA (power/water) bill, the book "Coming Back. Rebuilding Lives After Crisis and Loss" by Ann Kaiser Stearns. I wish that I had the brains and talents to have written it myself and finding the strength to ask for outside help when that may be what is best for me.
And you my friend!

All of my "stuff" belongs to God, picking up the soup can phone and saying "hello progresso, I have been eating soup and my jeans now fit!" (it's a commercial, but they do fit!), I hope that in my old age one will find an unfinished symphony on my piano, a half written song on my music stand, a notepad of unfinished grace notes on my desk and a large unfinished painting on my easel with a creative chaos of tubes of paint showing that up to the very end I was dancing with life, God gives me opportunities every day,,, it is up to me to take advantage of them, loving Saturday's... the very word makes me happy and brings out the kid in me.
