inspirational wall

I want to share with you, my little side wall beside my bed, I call in my inspiration wall.  This is a funny wall, our house has a very sloped roof, so upstairs bedrooms have walls more like ceilings.  Acadian style, here in Louisiana. Anywho, when I am feeling anxiety or stress, mornings are sometimes moments I am "in my head" and if I have something on my mind, as soon as my eyes open, the thoughts are there...so... when my friend Sherry gifted me this canvas, I hung it so I would see it first thing in the morning... and I would remember, the message behind it.  I added a piece I threw together yesterday.

I had an oopsie canvas I created, and I was not happy with it.  (side note, be careful adding cheesecloth for "texture"...) so I tried to remove it and save the canvas, no dice.  I tore it...so it was for me.  I added an old book cover collage with my word for the New Year.  Clarity...
So now, when I wake up, if I feel I need a little reminder, I have them.

little wrapped canvas's...

I had a delightful time, sitting at my art table this weekend...
Now I will wait for the next inspiration...I am listening!

The Victor

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you like to win but think you can't,
It's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost.
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will.
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you are out classed, you are.
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of your-self before
You can ever win the prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.
