…The sign of Christmas is a star, a light in darkness.
See it not outside yourself, but shinning in the Heaven within,
and accept it as the time of Christ has come.

Blessed be All 

"Blessed Be All"

He comes demanding nothing.
No sacrifice of any kind, of anyone, is asked by Him… 

from “A Course in Miracles" (page 327-329) combined volume, third edition.
Chapter 15, The Holy Instant, Subchapter XI, Christmas as the End of Sacrifice.

…the custom cahiers have found a home with lucky Carol Adamec.

Carol is a fabulous “wordsmith” and “painter”, multi-gifted and hard working.
You can see her work and words at her blog: ART by CAROL ADAMEC

Cahier give-away to Carol Adamec 

Carol has been a dear friend of mine for over 20 years! She
is the person that has help me express myself through words, there
was a time in my life it created panic and terrible fear to write
something! To put words to my work – to even talk, I thought I could just stay visual.

Having a blog has been a challenge… it has been an incredible
learning experience. Even leaving comments at your sites and blogs was
hard at first 🙂 Now you can’t keep me still.

Today, I still request Carol’s professional help when needed… she is my “ghost writer”.

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
