Description
The pace of living is so hectic and our lives are so full that we seldom take the time to sit back and appreciate the blessings and abundance we DO have. Take time every day to acknowledge these things and give thanks to nature, god, goddess or whomever you feel comfortable thanking. For there is no better meditation, no better mantra and no better prayer than that of thanks ... of gratitude. Once we begin to notice the blessings we do have in our lives, we will begin to feel better about life.
My gratitude to everyone out there for your friendship, your support, encouragement, inspiration and love. My life is richer because of YOU!

There is a wonderful sacred combination in this painting of strength & gentleness ~ you always get the dance just right, Kim! I have absolutely no doubt that this deck is being channelled ~ there is just too much sacred beauty & power in each painting for it not to be! I love the spiral & the standing stones. (You are so going to be commissioned to do the cover of a book I'm writing)! To me, the marks on the trees represent the imperfections we each have that vanish when we connect to our Higher Selves. It's vital to show gratitude, not only for what we have had, and do have, but for what is still to come. I think this painting is also a gentle reminder for each one of us to have a personal sacred space, whether it be somewhere in our garden (if we're lucky enough to have one) or in a corner of a room in our home ... somewhere to pray for healing of our beloved Mother Earth & also somewhere to say prayers of gratitude. I know from personal experience that the more gratitude one can show when we hit a pothole in life, the sooner the road ahead becomes smooth again. And thank Spirit for the small things too, not just the bigger blessings.
I am grateful for all your beautiful artwork, Kim, that lights up my life with its inherent wisdom & soulfulness.

Now I have run out of ways to thank you for your wonderful comments, dear Sue. Thank you does not seem sufficient...........but each one is heartfelt!
Just shout and I will happily do your cover for you.
The birch trees in the painting are also representative of gratitude - used in magical spells. But I love your interpretation about the imperfections we each have. I believe that by expressing gratitude sincerely and unconditionally, we affect healing not only within ourselves but to the earth as well as strengthening our bond with the earth.
It gives me great joy to hear that my art lights up your life elfie dear xxx

Incredibly beautiful, Kim.
And the place reminds me of one I know - well hidden in the Yorkshire Dales.
