So, I published a book of art photography a couple months ago - yay! You can check it out at my website, www.loriemarsh.com.

I got a new camera, a Canon r50, late last year, and I've been having a blast experimenting with it. So much of my work over the years has been about the stories we tell ourselves, as well as how to channel attention and distraction.

I've found with photography, it calms me to observe textures, both natural and industrial. I find I'm surrounded by beauty, in the most mundane and unusual places. And, in that beauty, I tap into gratitude for the experience. That helps me stay heart-centered and not despair.

What do you do to nourish your spirit?

Going through my "professional" page, I am reminded that I had some very good ideas. :)

Ever hear the warning, “Be careful what you want, it might come true?” For someone like me with a Busy, Bossy Brain, that is such a frustrating piece of advice. It makes me feel hyper-vigilant about my streams of thought, which makes me FEEL like if something skids out of whack, it’s my fault for not “being careful about my wanting thoughts.” And, THAT makes me feel anxious and wary.

Pflbtttt! Not a feeling space I want to live in all the time. Nope.
So, let’s flip this script.

Go ahead, list all your “don’t wants.” Dive in and roll around in them. Use fat markers and exclamations points with abandon!
Got your list? Good.

Most often, our "do wants" are the exact opposite of our "don't wants." If you don't want financial lack, you do want financial abundance. If you don't want tension in your relationships, you do want harmonious interactions with others. Follow me?

Go ahead now and mix up your list with their opposites.
This is a clarifying step forward to acting on choices from affirming, active Wants instead of knee-jerk, reactive “don’t Wants.”

Feel free to share what you come up with. :)

In support of the upcoming June 19-25, I've designed 4 new garden t-shirts to raise money for . I'll donate 10% of my sales between June 1 - July 16, 2023 to them.⁠
⁠
As a gardener, it's important to me to encourage and support bees, butterflies, and pollinating birds in my yard. As an artist and small business, it's important to me to offer products that are as ecofriendly as I can make them. ⁠
⁠
That's why each t-shirt ordered is made on demand and printed on 100% recycled fabric (60% cotton/40% polyester). ⁠
⁠
Pricing starts at $30 (price includes shipping + sales tax)⁠
Women's V-Neck⁠
S - 4XL⁠
Light Heather Grey or Light Blue⁠
⁠
Visit my website at Cardsforgardeners.com to see all 4 designs featuring Monarch butterflies, and while you're there, check out my , too! 😉⁠
⁠
Thanks for helping me make a positive impact with my woman-owned business.

There is a lovely, lovely person and fellow gardener who inspired this . I feel bittersweet about sending it to him today as his illness has taken an aggressive turn. He's a man of good humor, though, and I hope this makes him (and his equally lovely wife) laugh out loud.
