How To License Your Art Work Seminar

Took place Thursday, May 12, 2011 at Pratt Institute in NYC.

Panel of three very talented and intelligent people, plus a moderator who asked all the questions I was concerned about.

A two-hour span of time that was well spent.

Thank you, Graphic Artists Guild, for holding this event...and many more upcoming.

Surtex is being held this weekend with Wednesday being the final day.

Thank you so much!

When you know better, you do better

Dean of Oprah University, teach me the fundamentals.
Let people surprise me and to serve their higher good when I do that.
Be seen for who I really am, by example: playful, passionate, and practical all at once.
You've changed my life, you've inspired me, you've become my sistah from another mother from afar.

Do I have a message that is worth listening to? You bet. It will shine through my artwork through my personality, through my vulnerabilities.

You are unique in that you showed up and showed the world your insides, the truth; something that not all people can handle. Of those of us who could, you gave us all permission to be true, as well.

I know this isn't an ending, this is a beginning.

Your presence on the air for the past 25 years hasn't been a "show," it's an institution, part of the fabric of America. It is the "turning the lights off and walking out the door" part that has me feeling indescribably sad. Sad because I know how many lives you've changed over a quarter of a century, mine being one of them. I can't even look at a "O" Magazine cover (all of which I've saved throughout their existence) without feeling a strong pang.

You've spoken to all kinds of people in all walks of life "from the sublime to the ridiculous," as the saying goes, and nobody does it better or with more healing power than you.

One of my "Aha" moments: All pain is the same. It's how you deal with it that makes a difference. I have had a few more "Aha" moments, thanks to you, my precious Oprah.

Everybody is acting at the level they know. And....

when you know better, you do better.



That is how I feel.

A few significant changes

Could they be in store for me? 

I am not afraid to make a few significant changes at this time.

Plus, I am headed for another exhibit in Paterson, NJ at the Lou Costello Memorial again this year.

The Icon that is Oprah

Every death is a wake-up call to live life more fullly, more completely, more presently.

That's why it's happening. Some people need to be knocked upside the head, and other people need full-blown earthquakes in their life to get their attention.

Every death is a wake-up call to live life more fullly, more presently right now.  -- Oprah

Team 6 Pride

I am soaking up every bit of information on the "Target: Bin Laden" event and finding it mega interesting. So many questions arise. And yet, whether one is a fan or not, one has to admit, Obama's behavior was very cool under enormous pressures.

I am experiencing ever-increasing pride in our Navy Seals, especially Team 6. Certainly puts life in perspective, doesn't it?

Team 6 Kudos

Not a day for celebration; a burden lifted. The pain, suffering, and grieving of 9/11 carries on for those who lost loved ones. I was fortunate. Timing is everything. My husband was at the top of one of the buildings for business the Friday before. Bin Laden's death will not bring back all those who perished on that day.  We will never forget that day.  Those images are etched in our minds.

God Bless Team 6.
God Bless our Navy Seals.
God Bless America.
