This profound quotation is commonly called St. Teresa’s Bookmark as it was found tucked into one of the great saint’s books. St. Teresa of Avila was a Carmelite nun who lived in Spain and was a great mystic and prolific spiritual writer. I created this image today for three people: for Barbara and Jerry, my mother’s neighbors who lost their home in a fire yesterday. All of their worldly possessions were destroyed in about thirty minutes. Barbara ran out of the house with her purse, her robe and house slippers, and the cup of coffee she was holding when smoke billowed everywhere. The other person I created this for is a friend, Brenda, who emailed me to say she was feeling low and needed a word of encouragement. I thought that these three people who are deeply troubled would be comforted by these words of enduring wisdom and truth. Maybe someone else needs to hear them, too. God help us all to remember that he alone suffices and he alone is unchanging and dependable.

This is an overlay of two photos, one of a viceroy butterfly and one of a dragonfly which I took at Lake Martin in St. Martin, Parish, Louisiana. I added the text by Mother Teresa of Calcutta which I think helps deliver a message with the image, the message of the importance of smiles which engender love.

May’s quote and photo for my A time to reflect 2009 calendar Approaching Twilight Is one of my most popular photo’s and one tha I am most fond of myself. I added a soft layer on this one for a different take and trimmed it up a bit and feel that it added a bit more character to the photo. Hope you like it. :)
Where a lot of construction is taking place in East London, South Africa. I drive past this every morning I take the children to school, and with winter now just started, the light behind has been getting more and more delightful at this time of the morning. I had no idea that I would be so intrigued by metal monsters, when I am a nature-loving person. But here we go – I had to take a photo.
Bonza Bay beach, East London, Eastern Cape, South Africa / I sold this image middle of July this year. Well, a stock library I had almost forgotten about sold it for R300, I got R240! Not via a person viewing the stock library, and buying from there (I would have gotten less), but because East London (also known as Buffalo City) was looking for images for a “focus on Buffalo City” publication, and approached the stock library owner, who chose a few images from different people. / I was, and still am, really really pleased!

Thanks to owlspook / this work has a title now. Photographed in Stonewall, Manitoba, Canada I was driving throught this small town when I noticed these unusual clouds formations and then this single rail track came into view and I just had to stop and take a pic. I love the way it turned out but to find a perfect title for it is another story. I definitely need help with it. Canon XSi, f/8, 1/4000, ISO-400, 55mm
“Prayer is a friendly conversation with the One we know loves us.” St. Teresa of Avila Catherine De Hueck Doherty explained the same concept this way: “Prayer is conversation with God. It does not require a thousand books. It requires a simple and tremendous love of God and a total simplicity. I am beloved by God. He created me. This is the first idea. And he wants to be loved by me. We have to get that into our heads. Then we proceed to tell him we love him.” I think if we all engaged a lot more in this kind of friendly conversation with our Creator, the entire creation would benefit tremendously. I, for one, need to pray more. It’s as easy and as necessary as breathing; I wonder why we forget to do it?
My True potential co-hosts are sisters to me in every sense of the word. When one of us has a need, we are there to support her and comfort her and encourage her. Liesbeth sent me a heart and with that one gesture, my own heart grew bigger. And so it is with the love we give to each other … it continues to grow and expand and reach out to others and expand more and grow more and reach out more and more and more! Terri, this heart is for you, my sister. / —Judi 2009 ALL SALES OF THIS IMAGE WILL BE DONATED TO JUST GIVING – TRUEPOTENTIAL PROJECT / True Potential – Just Giving site
Do it Anyway People are often unreasonable, / illogical and self-centered; / Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, / people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives; / Be kind anyway. If you are successful, / you will win some false friends and true enemies; / Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, / people may cheat you; / Be honest anyway. What you spend years building, / someone could destroy overnight; / Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, / they may be jealous; / Be happy anyway. The good you do today, / people will often forget tomorrow; / Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, / and it may never be enough; / Give the world the best you’ve got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, / it is between you and God; / It was never between you and them anyway. Words by Mother Teresa Mother Teresa a wonderful lady that received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and India’s highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, in 1980 for her humanitarian work. She just appeared while I was painting. I stopped inorder not to paint over her. She obviously wants us to remember something today….I share it with you all.
