Dear Friends,
Lazy days are here again; at least we would like to think so.
Last time I wrote, I was off for Las Vegas to a spiritual conference. It was
fabulous. All of the top-of-their-field's authors were there. They were so
accessible and gracious. Wayne Dyer told me to hold the intention of getting his
endorsement for my book, Igniting Your Intention. He said he loved the title.
So, please hold the intention with me and it will happen!
My Painting II class at Manchester Community College this past semester has
ended and I have a collection of triangle paintings at the college in the
hallway. The exhibit will be up through December, so try to take some time and
check them out. And then let me know what you thought.
So, what's up with you this summer? Will you have time to discover and
uncover more about yourself? Here's what's going on this summer at Wisdom
Painting and Art: Igniting Light, the 3-week session; Make Your Own Drum
Workshop; and an Igniting Circle.
Check out my new and improved Cafeshops.com online store. It is bulging with
new designs and products with something for everyone. Are you thinking of buying
gifts or buying yourself something new? Go on over to my web store and buy my
designs. The address is: www.cafeshops.com/wisdomart.
See you soon. Peace in love and light,

My
Art Wins THE Award
I
was awarded the Hans Weiss Award this past semester for my paintings. Each year,
three of the art professors at MCC choose one student whose work was the best. I
am pleased and grateful that they thought my artwork was the best. In addition
to a nice framed certificate, I received a sizable cash reward check. Thank you
Rick, Susan, and Tim. <>
Wisdom
Bit: Whatcha Doin' Down There?
I came home from Las Vegas with a broken foot. Speaking of down and out! Geesh,
I thought I would be brimming with spiritual attunement and Divine inspiration
for building my new life. But, no ….. instead, I was not to drive for four
weeks. I am spending my time putting my foot up and contemplating that new life.
But, alas, through it all, I have found an inner reserve of strength and an
"Oh yeah? I can so do it! Attitude. If my inner saboteur wants to break my
foot in hopes of keeping me down, well, let me tell it that it is NOT working. A
lot can be accomplished even with a broken foot. Standing strong with inner
power, I simply navigate a little differently. So, finally, after a year of
false and fearful starts, I am leaping forward. Look out world, I'm coming atcha
full force. <>

Just the right thing for summer, a light dose of self-discovery. This session

class in any level, you may want to use this session to refresh your skills and
retune your life to the field of intention.

Special Event: Building Your Own Drum Workshop
with Michael Meyer
I met Michael Meyer at a holistic breakfast in Vernon. One of his specialties
is making drums. He attends Native American pow wows and has a natural ability
for making drums in native tradition. I didn't know that I had a desire to make
my own drum until we began to talk. Do any of you have a desire to make your own
drum, beginning with the raw materials? If so, let me know. He is available for
groups of 2-6 people. Let's do something different this summer -- make music
from our very own hand crafted drum.
1st session: Building of the Drum, 2nd Session: Drumming the Vision, 3rd
Session: Sacred Decoration
Tuesday evenings, July 13, 20, and 27, 7:30 to 9:45 pm, $65 fee, material fee
is payable to Michael Meyer, see below for details.You may want to bring
additional materials for the last session. Please RSVP by June 30. I need to let
Michael know the details of what hide you want to use and how many people will
attend. The hide choices and costs are: Buffalo, $65, Horse, $50, and Deer, $40.
The retail price of a drum like the one you will make ranges from $125 to $200.
