TODAY'S TOUCHSTONE

"To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts."

    ~ Henry David Thoreau

It's time to realize that we are artists who shape and fashion our days. 

Consider starting this day, many days, or every day, with an empowering affirmation or a litany of declarations that feel right for you.

Today, for fun, try this fanciful style:

I AM an artist.

My life is my canvas.

This day is my frame.


With imagination, I sketch in my mind how I would like this day to flow with beauty. 

Onto my canvas, within the frame of this day, I first apply a coat of courage, which I will use to be authentic and true to myself. 

Next I dip into my wellspring of gifts and apply layers of strength, compassion, and wisdom. 

With wonder and awe for life itself, I sprinkle sparkles of reverence and brush swirls of joy onto all that is before me.

Appreciating my talent and dreams, I brush this day with strokes of gratitude. 

Finally, I cover this day with love and joy and seal my art with faith. 

Wishing you an abundantly blessed day,

Charlene
