"Bloom Where You Are Planted"

"Bloom Where You Are Planted" is from 1 Corinthians 7:17-24. It means...don't wait to realize your dreams. Regardless of where you are in life, don't wait until things get better or put it off until tomorrow. The time is NOW. You may be in a situation where you are struggling or going through emotional pain...you may be in a situation you are longing to exit...whatever the reason, we usually wait for the moment when things will get better or we will have enough money.  Time is moving on. Life is all about evolving. Many are held back by fear...fear of the unknown, so we stay within the familiar.

Time waits for no one. After losing several family members in a short amount of time, I began to realize every day is a gift. Life will never provide the perfect setting for your dream to unfold. You have to make it happen...bloom where you're planted!

"Bloom Where You Are Planted" Series

This series was inspired by a painting that I did earlier this year. They send a message that so many of us need to hear. They look great on a small easel or framed. They also come with a color-coordinated envelope if you want to mail one to a friend.

 This is the painting that inspired the series, "Bloom Where You are Planted", (Not for sale)

Angels, Angels, Angels...

The angels I have been painting have taken a life of their own. I do know they are painted intuitively, and I never know what the angel will look like...until it is finished. Recently, they have been spreading love & healing to loved ones who are going through a difficult time...the onset of a disease, the loss of a loved one, the passing of a child, etc. The angels seem to be falling into three categories, "The Power of Three", "Ascending Angels" and "Mother/Daughters-Sisters".
