I am delighted when love wins over fear, doubt, and darkness, especially as we grow older and experience how bad love can turn or the losses that are incurred when one is bold enough to say yes to love.

The woman, my manager for five years when I worked corporate many, many moons ago, was delighted when her partner surprised her at their “new home” party on the weekend with the proposal and the ring.

Life can beat the romance out of us, can even jade us to the point of loneliness for not just the fear, but the knowledge that loss will come for letting love in, especially as we grow older and more aware of the fact everyone dies.

But then, maybe that is the reason I applaud and admire Shane and Roseanne for their bold decision not just to quietly embrace love, but to publicly declare their love with an engagement and marriage, though probably not a baby carriage to follow, as being a grandmother fills that space now.

Congratulations Shane and Roseanne! May your lives together be filled with much love, laughter, and joy, plus your sorrows few and shared.

Bravo!

This is the horizon line from my painting “Ray of Light” which makes its way to its new home the end of August. Will miss the painting, but I am always happy when new owners are excited about the painting. Plus, I am looking forward to painting many more, especially like this excerpt, as I love water and sky, being near them outdoors and as subjects, along with the relief artworks inspired by everything else.

Thanks for your interest and perhaps your patronage.

Wholeheartedly,

Spirit Ranch will be established in the future to serve a three-fold purpose. 1. As a teaching facility for the global initiative. 2. As a school and lifetime home for teens struggling in the traditional school systems and/or in the foster care systems. 3. As a rescue, rehabilitation, and re-training ranch for horses that will also be used for teen rehabilitation if appropriate to a student’s development.

Thank you for your interest and your support!

The Foundation to be established as soon as possible will more effectively and efficiently enable the for-profit company to transfer company profits to the Foundation in order to provide free books, products, and services to those in need, but without the resources to purchase rather than what a social business venture could do, especially since social business ventures, as for-profit organizations are still legally works-in-process in many places, including Canada.

Thank you for your interest and your support!

Without an active, engaged by-the-majority global initiative that surpasses religion, politics, race, etc. we all lose freedom and our rights are diminished.

Condolences to all victims, family and friends of terrorist acts, including Spain a few days ago and now Finland.
