The last dog days of summer are here & what a lovely week (weather wise) it has been! This is how my day starts every day & I couldn't be happier! Play ball! Lot's on the go - roasting all the tomatoes turning ripe over night, pressing some leaves for future art ideas & ART!
Yesterday my first Rosary went from paper to actual object (thanks to Storm) and it took some patience and a few hours to string, difficult with fingers that don't want to bend but I persevered. lol. I don't mind telling you I absolutely LOVE it! It's not finished -the last detail (Jesus) takes the longest, I have two more planned as well.
I've been painting Poppy, the same photo drawn over and over & each is different, it's been interesting to see and a few I really like, some were begging to be painted. One sample is below, she absolutely is loving these late summer days, dogs are amazing at showing us how to soak up the sun and enjoy the simple things - like belly rubs and playing ball.
I was watching a 'medium' Tyler Henry, on Netflix : https://www.netflix.com/title/81190041. He seems very genuine and accurate. I believe many have this ability - we just have to listen & believe. I have had help from the other side, in his newest show he reminds us to not ignore the constant signs we get, don't dismiss them. The other day I chose a book on auditable to listen to while I paint and I though (rather than waste hours scrolling) pick the first one you see! So I did, I knew nothing about it other than the image was a 'bunch of letters' and one person rated it :I would read this over & over... so I thought - sounds good! let's try. Her first paragraph, she tells us her name and how she's happy to change (her last name back to her maiden name). Her name is Georgia. I guess I am meant to listen to this audio book.
This happens ALL the time as I've mentioned here several times. I know I blogged before but one incident that I often ponder, this of is when my step dad Billy sent me a warning! I woke up and had to 'know the time' - it was 2:22 and I had 3 words instantly in my mind: Check The VIN. Dazed & slightly confused I went back to sleep.
Later Norm told me he put a check for a $10,000 'hold on a used truck' that he was picking up... I was upset as he promised he would discuss with me first and we would both agree or disagree, but no - he did what he always does and just went ahead with purchasing. The message came back to me that morning and I realized 2:22 was my stepdads birthday - that's how I know it was him and check the VIN -the vehicle registration number (he was a car salesman, number one in Canada (for Fleet Ford sales at one time) & I knew too from also working in the car business what the VIN was - I DEMANDED Norm go right away and get the VIN number off the truck & checked at the licensing office. Turns out the truck (that looked' great) $40,000 - had previously been in a serious accident and was UN insurable! He would have technically not been able to drive it or not get insurance and if in an accident- screwed. I told him NO WAY! DO NOT BUY IT! Go get your money - they told him' no' and he said to me: there's nothing we can do. Phhhhhhbt.
The dealership tried to tell him they did not have to return his $10,000... needless to say God told me, exactly what to do and say and the check was returned later that day (with an apology!) & Norm learned again what would have been a very expensive lesson.
My stepdad Billy saved us over $40,000 and much heart ache. Believe it or not, I could care less, I know what happened and am grateful and I thank my dad all the time, still. Do not dismiss the little signs, pay attention - our loved ones can still help and always love us, especially from above. Often I'll think of people and see little signs, once thinking of a young girl that I knew who passed and I was suddenly bombarded with dragonflies, landing on me... it was her, no doubts.
There is so much we don't know...
I do know with God, all things are possible.
