Life in New Mexico

"Summertime, and the livin' is easy."
I played my first golf game! This was indeed a noteworthy experience after months of practice hitting the ball at the driving range or putting in the living room. Fortunately, I was with three patient golfers who guided me through the course, teaching me etiquette and supplying some strategy along the way. We started playing around 5:00 PM, and I discovered that it can take a long time to play just 9 holes when one is a beginner. So long that the automatic sprinklers came on as we approached the 9th hole. This added to the merriment, as I had to line up the putt and then get my timing just right in order to dodge the spray! Yes - that refreshing water did catch me. (I will add towels to my list of necessary supplies.)

1. Your Personal Gallery

 

The real voyage of discovery is not in seeking new lands but in seeing with new eyes.

- Marcel Proust

A tour through an art museum can be one of the most enjoyable, inspiring experiences on any day. Consider, though, that every day you are touring a gallery and that this gallery contains the scenes of your life.

Others have created many of the paintings. That is a given for all of us. However, you have some control in this personal gallery. After all, it is your gallery!

How much control do you have? Let's consider your options.

Visualize yourself inside a painting that represents a current situation, perhaps a challenge or an inviting opportunity. Now imagine a series of scenes on this theme. How would you like this to turn out? Picture the result you want to see with as much detail as you can. This should provide you with clues for the steps you need to take to get your desired outcome. Now get ready to fill in the story emerging from your first picture. What is in the next scene?

What is really cool about envisioning your gallery is that you choose the sequence or arrangement. You can paint your own pictures! And most important, you can choose the frames! Once you have a clear view and can declare and follow through on your intention, you can find the energy and motivation to create your desired display.

Do you now see that finished project, job promotion, diploma, new house, or gold medal? Get your canvas and brushes ready!

Your turn!

Human vision is endowed with the greatest Reality, since it comes to us directly from the contemplation of the Universe.

- Robert Delaunay, artist
