I'M HERE TO EMPOWER YOU!

I’m an artist . . . but that’s not saying much, because I believe, and it is something that I have devoted my time heavily to convey, that art expression is an inherent property of human nature. The media may vary, but not the innate disposition.

Those that know me have heard my “talent-as-myth” diatribe all too often, and if you end up tuning in to my posts, you will encounter it soon enough. It is my goal to change the notion, which a great number of people resign to, that one needs to have “talent” to pursue the art they feel or want and am doing this on a daily basis through my program in the G+ Mentorship Program for Photographers.

With that as preface, I will probably devote a portion of my posts to inspiring artists, but I also plan to impart other conceptions that I have about life in general, with the goal of elevating, encouraging, enlivening or energizing those who read them.

Let me begin with this:

I wish for you the ability to create for yourself all that your heart desires.

It's been devilishly hot here (110˚ last Friday and I don't even live in a desert ... ugh! I gave myself a heatstroke tying to save my garden). This guy looks about how I feel ... ;oD
How's the weather where you are?

    You know what they say... It's not the heat, it's the humidity! 😓97° (feels like) 103° here in the Kansas City suburbs...
    And Shelly Gunderson , although I've never heard your saying before - I will never forget it, or how accurate it sounds... 😂

    Wonderful capture!
    89/30 here at 1900 today; the 100s are hopefully past, and there may be rain.

    How on Earth (or Mars?) do you survive in that heat? One does use the right specs, for reading temperatures yes? Poor little grumpy bird.
