"Attitudes aren't taught -- they're caught."

------ child psychologist Margaret McFarland

I feel I should state the flip side of my first post, regarding the attention that one might give to others

Beth,

You are so busted.

Marvin,

You are a hoot under that black hat! I just hope you dance as well as this Joe Boxer guy, I can't wait until NC to see! I have to figure out Mr. Georges character now!

Sharon made me do it!

With nothing but loving respect, "grasshopper" - your most faithful student! :D

Thank you all, I am feeling better. I must admit I can't stop laughing right now.

You'll be fine!
 

Hi Beth, after the first 15 minutes you will be comfortable, I guarantee it. You already know many who are attending, so at least that hurdle is over, plus I understand that Mr. Whitaker is a wonderful teacher. I see positives all around.

Marvin, you do show up in the strangest places! Have you no shame?

Hi Debra
 

You'll have a great time at the Atelier. Ironically, I will be taking a Peggy Baumgartner workshop, so it looks like we're switching teachers this summer! Call me if you'd like to get together while here!

A Final Thought
 

Beth,

As you have probably gleaned by now I am a great believer in meditation before I work. It focuses the mind and lets positive energy flow. Here is a suggestion for a mini workshop version.

A: Put a cushion in front of a bureau.
B: Put some small candles and incense on the bureau in front of you.
C: Have your latest depiction of Marvin elegantly framed to place between the candles and incence.
D: Sit quietly crosslegged on the cushion, facing the bureau with your eyes half closed watching your breathing for about 10 to 20 minutes.
E: The picture of Marvin is optional but I suggest you bring it to class with you for inspiration and to share.

Yours in the Light

Beth, maybe you could suggest to Bill Whitaker that he add candles and incense to the list of supplies needed for his class -- oh, yes, and racy photos of Marvin.

incense and candles?
 

Beth,

One more thing to add to that long list of "supplies" that Marvin just sent to Renee and I for our Greensboro workshop.

Candles, Incense, Tequila, More tequila, etc. etc. etc.

OH, and a couple of tubes of paint and 1 brush. We'll be using brown wrapping paper to sketch on. No need for fancy canvases.....


JK,

Remember, you are "so busted".

SOG Workshop Meditation Kit
 

Michele, Denise,

I see we have the making of a unique SOG Workshop Meditation Kit. Marvin's picture, candles, incense and tequila. This one sounds like it is designed to open up the inner child in all of us, you know the one, the child who doesn't care if his oeuvre resembles his mother or the family pet.

However, don't you think Beth should finish Marvin's picture with a black hat? If she does that I will download it for my shrine.

Yours in the Light,

Might I recommend a slight change in the Meditation Kit for males? Perhaps instead of Marvin, a picture of J-Lo in a black hat? :D
