"When someone else's happiness is your happiness, that is love." 

"The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed."
Jiddu Krishnamurti, Indian philosopher

"The angels are nearer than you think.”

                     https://joan-reese.pixels.com/featured/you-are-never-alone-joan-reese.html

“Angels around us, angels beside us, angels within us.
Angels are watching over you when times are good or stressed.
Their wings wrap gently around you,
Whispering you are loved and blessed.” 
– Blessing

Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.

Apollo Theater Honors Prince

Prince first played the Apollo in March 1993, an invitation-only gig with most of the tickets given to Harlem community groups. The incomparable Prince will be honored June 2016 with his induction into the Apollo Theater’s Walk of Fame.
Honey, I know, I know
I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out
For something new, that means you too

Proud as a Peacock

                       http://joan-reese.pixels.com/featured/blue-peacock-joan-reese.html
proud as a peacock
by william worthless
The beauty of the peacock is the tail that he can span
when its opened up it goes in to a fan
like a woven blanket. intricate as can be
a mosaic work of art for all the world to see
a canvas full of colors that are very loud
this is what makes the peacock very very proud

Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night

http://joan-reese.pixels.com/featured/do-not-go-gentle-into-that-good-night-joan-reese.html?newartwork=true
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on that sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I Love Marilyn Monroe! Do You?

Like many teenage girls I wrote daily in my blue diary that had a golden lock in the shape of a heart.
Hundreds of times I wrote I wanted to be just like M.M.  To this day I wear her signature red lipstick. I hand tinted this black-and-white photograph of Marilyn Monroe that was taken six weeks before she passed away on August 5,1962.

The gift of art is a gift of love

It is easy to walk into a store and pull something off of the rack or on a shelf. Something that 1000 other people own. Why not give something that is original, created by an artist. Whether it's a piece of art that you can hang on the wall or a piece of handmade jewelry it says that you took the time and you are thoughtful enough to select something that you felt the person would love.
Please view my creations and see if there is something you think that you would love to give for the holidays.
