ROMANCING THE CANVAS: GOD POWER...

LOVING MY STUDIES!

I am in the thick of my Ph.D studies and truly loving what I am reading. The subject is Metaphysical Science, and teaches about the "Higher-Mind", our God-Power Within and each of our capacity to choose to live in this positive energy. Today, I am applying what I have learned and truly know it works. Positive thoughts, feelings and ideas completely change one's experience of the "same old thing!"

I believe this card speaks to this. It is inspired by a memory of my children's father saying on his epitath (an exercise he had to do for a personal growth workshop) his dream was to have his children riding behind him on his bicycle in the countryside.) Now THIS is a good and positive memory, I've been unmarried to Ron for 20 years, but he is still one heck of a father to my cubs!

p.s. I've been working very hard on my cards to send to FROMOURHEARTS, the organization many of you know that I send ALL my creations to. These cards go to the Chaplain on the Military Bases and are distributed so that our troops have cards to send to our loved ones. I have a packet of 100 cards that I am in the midst of making 75 envelopes for, due to my oversized cards. Wish me luck please because I find envelope making THE most yucky task!

Enjoy YOUR positive thoughts today!

What a wonderful card and such a noble thing to do sending it to them.

Wow! You're taking your Phd. I stopped going on studying when I finished my MBA. But circumstances and situation limits me from taking further studies whether Law of Phd and just content on staying home with my parents taking care of their needs. Good luck on your studies!
