WE all have. Sometimes it is being a good listener, other times it is we are people who are able to uplift others and buoy them up. Oh there are so many talents and some are not obvious, but they are there all the same! I rather suspect you have a very kind heart. xoxo<br /><br />Not hurt at all Suzan, or feeling criticized. You have many talents. You are a wonderfully supportive mother and daughter and I expect that one day when the time is right you will make a wonderfully supportive partner for some very lucky man. You are right, at present its the Lords work I am to be about! In the meantime I want you to know you are a wonderful friend. Love and hugs. xoxo<br /><br />You are right Tracy, the creative heart just has a need to create, and that is it! YOU are a treasure my friend, and that is that! Love you to bits! xoxo<br /><br />I had so much fun creating her Monique. I am itching to get back in my artroom and create some more, but duty calls today and I have not the time. You are a wonderfully supportive friend, and a real load and mood lightener. You truly are, and you are much more appreciated than you probably know. Love always. xoxo<br /><br />Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-219713010550409712016-05-31T13:47:50.969+01:002016-05-31T13:47:50.969+01:00I think ..that the right person has not seen your ...I think ..that the right person has not seen your work.<br />Look at Mimi by the beach..I would love someone to publish a cookbook of all your fantastic recipes with your art throughout..<br />Mimi coul be be in Normandy...and a very French recipe could be there..<br /><br />so many ideas!!<br /><br />Funk days are funk days and there is no rhyme or reason why one is and one is not..it happens:(<br /><br />Love the teacup and bee ring etc..so many pertties Marie.<br />And I wish you a reversal of funk.<br /><br />La Table De Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358539954508050792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-86062219337810576962016-05-31T08:43:30.997+01:002016-05-31T08:43:30.997+01:00Oh, Marie!

I feel exactly the same way, and have experienced the same crushing realizations that my art just ain't enough for the big world and selling, etc. :( But we are creative beings, to create is working in alignment with God, our Creator, so that is a big, beautiful thing! We make for love of Him. :) I LOVE your art work, and always have, and am glad you keep sharing it with us! And your cooking blog offers so much delicious inspiration all the time--it is a treasure... as are YOU, my friend! :))) ((LOVE & BIG HUGS))<br />Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179096002434748927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-16406385571155858902016-05-31T08:10:17.398+01:002016-05-31T08:10:17.398+01:00Good morning Marie. If it helps I gather great jo...Good morning Marie. If it helps I gather great joy from your work. I would buy so much more if I could. I really would. I will never be a top flight ice skater, in fact my doctor has banned me, but I loved the feeling. I can sing in tune and have been blessed with an okay voice. I have one huge problem I cannot carry harmony and I drift into places I shouldn't. Oh dear it makes me so cross as I love my music and my worsening deafness does not help. However they are some of the many things I enjoy for me. So now I trying to create more with my hands.<br />One thing I truly disliked about modern Aussie parenting is the habit of one upmanship. Somebody will tell you their child is better, or worse, use your child to claw their child up above the pack etc. I hated that. My Will has worked so hard to be a chef. Harder than some work at the fancy degrees etc, Harder than his sister did for some of her stuff. My Beth was always being told she could be someone's nanny. That someone has not had a full time job since leaving school. No wonder so many of us feel belittled and not talented. There are many unhappy souls looking for happiness in a harmful way. So I try with all my might to take things at the level I see them. Everyone has their own special place and talent. We may not be earth shatteringly great but our gifts complete us to the level God wants.<br /><br />I hope you don't feel criticised or hurt because I love your painting and sewing and crafting and cooking. At the present you are doing the Lord's work and that is the most important thing right now. So for today I hope God's light is seen to shine and fulfill you.<br /><br />Love always.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283293507101152512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-63923025224142606912016-05-31T07:25:58.919+01:002016-05-31T07:25:58.919+01:00I love your cooking blog and have made countless d...I love your cooking blog and have made countless delicious things from it. i have tried to accept that I will never be good at lots of things I enjoy - including horse riding. I would love to have just one talent. I always wished for that. You have so many - writing, painting, cooking - don't be discouraged xxxCGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13773161375865716360noreply@blogger.com
