I photographed their parents elopement portrait
and their blending families,
and amongst the official moments
of this special day, of a new life,
they created a new portrait
especially for me to see.
I wish their big, brand new family
many moments of unity, amity, and love.
Perry Portrait Art captures real families and their good energy.

For the scholars, teachers and parents staring a new year, one of my ‘oldies but goodies.’
‘Enjoy’ a cup of coffee in a different way to connect (and reconnect) with the calm inside.
This uses a visualization technique called imaginating, a great tool for managing and mellowing real life situations.
The key is to let your hearing, sense of touch, sense of smell and taste engage naturally as you ‘hold’ the warm cup in hand.
Try it, play with it (!) and apply it in different situations to see it work for you!

A counter-intuitive inspiration for today:
Any energy you ‘fight’ you are actually feeding.
If you are pushing something away, you are inviting it to stay.
To get the wisdom of a lesson, practice allowing
emotionally charged or upsetting feelings to happen,
and then continue to ‘pass through’ you like clouds or water.
In time the upset feeling could be seen as a signal
to pay extra attention to a part of yourself
that needs extra compassion or love.

One positive thought produces millions of positive vibrations.
John Coltrane
Send out a little ‘good vibration’ wherever you go!
Thoughts of your relaxed state,
enjoying a beautiful song, enjoying nature,
enjoying a cafe au lait in Paris,
feeling the air, sensing smells and sound
until your body connects with the vision.
The key is increasing gradually the amount of time you can sit in this uplifted memory energy. Believe me, it feels great!
Can’t think of something right away? Get them all together and ready in one spot to go from one memory to the next!
Buy a special journal just for writing your good memories down
so that you are able to access your playlist of incredible whenever you need it!
This is specifically for past moments, feelings, and experiences in your life that create feelings of love and happiness for you!
Some of mine are:
Seeing rainbows during thunderstorms
Seeing both my kids asleep at my home (my daughter lives in Seattle)
Seeing a cardinal in a tree nearby
Seeing videos of my tiny granddaughter learning to walk, etc…
This book is for your list of good memories! Do not record ones that have tearful, regretful, or sad feelings.
Practice seeing the moments in your mind’s eye until your body responds.
Whether or not it influences your environment immediately, you will be more awake and attuned.
The effects will emerge in awareness, improved experiences and a different quality of conversation.
Cheering for your success, Dorothy!

With good will and applause,
I introduce my signed, special edition ceramic mug,
included with a Perry Portrait Art gift certificate for a family portrait!
It beams out an artistic image (my son Artist’s hands)
to hold dark roast or Darjeeling, just the way you like it!
Think great housewarming, gift to a friend, or new baby present!
These certificates (of any denomination) create amazing personal art
for connection, self esteem, and great memories!

A valuable skill in our sensitive, seeing world
is relaxing the eyes’ focus (letting the eyes ‘go fuzzy’)
when waiting or resting.
It rests more than your eye muscles:
it also gives the ever-spinning wheels of mind a rest, too,
and lets your intuition come through
to show you how to see something new.
