I’ve begun creating a series of black and white postcards and this is one of them. The photo is of a building in Manhattan. The quote was cited by Ms. Edwene Gaines in one of her many workshops about prosperity consciousness. She shared her dramatic story of how she gave ten percent of any money she received to whatever fed her spiritually. She started this “test” when she had holes in her shoes. Within a short time her dire circumstances were reversed. Since 1976 Edwene Gaines has traveled the world living her 100% commitment to the transformation of the abundance consciousness of Planet Earth.
The Democrats Need a Metaphor
Our brains think associationally. The Republican Party has found a useful metaphor for their movement. Can you think of a powerful metaphor for the Democrats? How about “Let’s Rock and Roll” as a response to sipping tea?
Three Common Questions Artists Encounter
Recently I heard John McCormick give a talk about his life as a painter. He and his wife had a successful studio backdrop business from 1984 to 1999. His client list included Disney Studios, HBO, Apple Computers, Lucasfilm, MTV, the Grateful Dead and the San Francisco 49ers.
I like the answers McCormick shared to three questions he is usually asked when he says he’s an artist:
1. Is it hard to make a living as an artist? Only if you don’t belong there.
2. Do you make a living as an artist? You’ll have to talk to my accountant.
3. Are you famous? My two sons think so!
