That when we do things we need to look at the feelings things give and then evaluate what feelings we treasure and want to have. Then goals and decisions need to be made bassed on the out comes of these feelings. i.e. My feeling might be Peace, joy and love....Will going to five activities and making a a flash dinner give me those feelings. If it does carry on if it doesn't maybe I need to evaluate what is important today. I thought it was a great way to evaluate goals and decisions we make daily, weekly and yearly. <br /><br />I love the goals you have. They are such good aims.<br /><br />P.S. I hope you all understand my garble :)Catherine Parkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03018593424638925091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060853558179424501.post-17263965863698307942011-01-23T22:49:02.412-05:002011-01-23T22:49:02.412-05:00Your thoughts are so beautifully stated.

And, thank you so much for reminding me about Alyson Stanfield's book. I was familiar with the title and knew I probably *should* take a look at it, but thanks to you I now have it in my hands (well, on my computer, thanks to the instant download option). <br /><br />You've reminded me of the importance of clarifying what I'm doing and communicating that to others. Thank you!Liz I.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09791876450864929735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060853558179424501.post-11599163017051184712011-01-23T10:51:50.103-05:002011-01-23T10:51:50.103-05:00Lyric: This is lovely.

I read an editorial in American Artist magazine in which he talks about how amazed he is by the current trend for artists to go for the quick fix art that aims to win it's audience through noise and shock value. I want to create art that speaks softly to the viewer, draws them in and lets them draw their own conclusions rather than using my art to shout my own at them.<br /><br />Lucky you to get to work with Alyson, I'm envious!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
