‘Coffee’

This was sent to me today and it resonated very much…

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor at his home. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups that were porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite. He then invited them to help themselves to the coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said:”If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.”"Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.”"What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups. And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.”"Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live.”"Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us.”"God brews the coffee, not the cups……….Enjoy your coffee!”                  ~ The Author is Unknown

Celebrate What’s Right With The World

A great video to start your day or your new life

“Celebrate What’s Right With The World”

Blast from the Past

I found this photo the other day while cleaning out the loft. It was taken in 1990, it shows me with my surreal art works just before a local exhibition in Ruislip manor library. I dislike dwelling in the past as it really doesn’t serve any purpose, but every now and then when you dig up an old photo like this you understand how far you have come and how the past really is like another lifetime. I’m much happier in the now and unlike many people I know wouldn’t like to go back to my own past it holds no wonder for me.

That person below has a long a winding road ahead of him to become the me I am today, I wish him luck with it but for now lets just leave him to his dreams in that moment in time.  

(All the above Art was created using acrylic paint which I loved to use)

Show:-

This weekend Saturday 22nd–Sunday 23^rd I will be selling my work at the Health Beauty and Psychic Fair,Holiday Inn Hotel, Black Prince Interchange (A2) Southwold Road, Bexley, Kent DA5 1ND.

Website addition:-

I have just added a quick shop page to my website, this is just a single page with my latest and top selling prints on. This is in addition to my detailed gallery and store. I’m always trying to streamline the shopping process without going down the generic store interface route. E-mail me if have any more ideas how I can make the shopping process on the site more user friendly world wide.

Evening Talks:-
As from December 1^ST I will be offer up free talks to groups and clubs 10+ people . While I am not a professional speaker many have be moved by the meanings behind my artworks and how they have change my life, I have been asked by others to start relaying what I have learnt via my artwork and I now feel the time is right. I will attend the talk with my full retail show stand so if it resonates people will be able to purchase my work.

I happy to travel up to 50 miles radius of Clacton on Sea, Essex week nights and further on weekends . I need at least a minimum of 30 minutes talk time. If you are interested please e-mail me letting me know about your group and why you would like me to give a talk.

A step back and a stride forward (Lincoln)

First I would like to thank the people of Lincoln who attended the BSSK event for making me feel welcome. The weekend event was both challenging and rewarding at the same time. I met people who where well on their way to changing their limited perception of the world that most share – people who have chosen not to immerse themselves in the negative energies that suck us dry. I also witnessed people who are broken being brave enough to rage against conventional thinking and challenge their own perceptions for the first time. And then still more people who are captivated by the negative -expressing fear, doubt and mocking others. Personally I was on an emotional roller coaster for the whole event, at times I slipped back into old destructive thought processes and then I would bounce back refreshed by a meeting of like-minded souls.

I really battled some negative perceptions which had taken me over; I believe not only to test my resolve but also because after a week of ‘man flu’ I was energetically at a low ebb. Despite this, I was still able to have some inspirational conversations with people who where both just starting their spiritual path and where well along it. No matter what anyone says, all of us have moment of doubt and unease and on Saturday I felt like this. But thanks to the support of a friend of Lucinda’s and Samantha’s, a pep talk from an old friend Rosie and a much needed energy boost from Nina and Jerry (Divine Light) I was able to see Sunday in a much better light.

We hope to attend this show again in the future…
