QUESTION: Do you have a plan for the New Year?

STORY: I’ll bet you and everyone has a plan for the New Year! I also have a plan for this New Year of 2025. Yesterday I found a 3 page type-written plan that I developed in 1989. I was living in my studio at the time which was a little house on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean on Point Dume, CA. I was painting a lot at that time. This little three-page plan was titled: The Art of Transformation. In this plan or idea, I adapted a wonderful 5-Step writing tool that I have been using for many years for opening my limited, separate, ego-mind to experiencing a whole new understanding of my INNATE Self. Over the years of using this tool, many of my problems shifted, dissolved even disappeared as I opened up my consciousness with this 5 Step tool. Well, in my adaptation of this tool, I will incorporate the 5 Steps and create a brand new, unique approach for people to engage their consciousness in unfolding or creating a new painting. I am so excited about this. I’m sure you are excited about your plan. Let’s see where our plans take us in 2025!
