I mailed out the Clowning Around newsletter today with the topic of gratitude. Tonight (Tuesday) at 8 PM Eastern time I will be hosting a chat and while I have no formal agenda, I hope we can share a little about gratitude.

You may wonder why I chose the collage to the right for this particular post. It represents something I am very grateful for. My son will be riding in a rodeo right here where I live next week! He lives about 400 miles from me, so I don’t get to see him often enough and it’s a special treat when I get to see him ride.

This will also give my friends and relatives here the opportunity to see him ride. He usually does really well when he knows there’s family support in the audience.

I have about a jillion things I’m grateful for, but this is definitely at the top of my list right now.

I love old Fairy Tale images. My favorite artists in this area are Faust and Goree. This image is one of Faust’s. It’s so creepy and yet beautiful. If you click on the image it will take you to a larger size and you can download it by right clicking on it.

I will be hanging out in the chat room tonight at 9 Eastern Time, if you want to stop by. We had a lot of fun on Tues chatting, so come by tonight and join the goofiness!

Last night in the chat room we had such a wonderful time.  It was great to connect with people I hadn’t talked to at all and others that I hadn’t talked to in a long time.

I hope you can join me Thurs night at 9 PM Eastern time.  It’s very informal and we can laugh, have fun and talk about whatever you want.

Next Tues. night at 8 PM Eastern time we’re going to make a Dreamboard during the chat time.  So bring your magazines, glue, scissors and a piece of poster board or cardboard the size you want your Dreamboard to be. This will not be a formal class, just a fun thing to do.

In case you don’t know what a Dreamboard is – it’s a visualization tool that helps reach your goals, or bring the things you want into your life.  The act of creating it seems to put the goals in your mind, and by seeing your Dreamboard daily it keeps them there, which seems to help you manifest them.

So I hope that you’ll join us next Tues and create your Dreamboard to make all your dreams come true!

Tonight (Tuesday)I will be in the Creative Clown chat room at 8 PM Eastern time. Please join me! There is no topic or agenda. I just want to spend some time with other artsy folks.
