Abundance

Instead of wishing for more money, I often ask for 'abundance.' When I read this quote, I realized my wish had been granted.
"Not what we have, but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance."
J. Petit-Senn

and yes, I read it in the Mutts comix!

My DVD is now available!

It's ready! go to my website here to and order a bunch for gifts and one for yourself!

Kitty from Chiapas

Jill and Jerry came by to say at the Art Festival I was in and brought me this adorable kitty from their recent trip to Chiapas, Mexico. Of course I had to paint it right away!
