Wishing You Peace

November 23, 2012 by Jeane George Weigel

Today is what we’ve come to call “Black Friday,” the day after Thanksgiving, the biggest shopping day of the year. It is the accepted kick off to the holidays. We’re supposed to be shopping, shopping, shopping. We are taught, in our culture, that the holidays are about buying; getting and giving. But I wish this for all of us: Remembering our loved ones and the times we’ve spent together. THINGS don’t make up a life, as I know you all know. Love makes a life. I wish it for all of us–love and peace and NO shopping. And the making of new memories.

 

 

Love to you all,

Jeane

About High Road Artist IMG 9461 150x150I am Jeane George Weigel, a working artist living in the mountains of northern New Mexico, and I do not think you and I are so different.

Every single one of us longs to know what we ache for, to “follow our bliss” as Joseph Campbell famously put it. You may find yours as an artist, a writer, or a teacher. But I am convinced we all yearn to live what is in our hearts. Some of us spend a lifetime discovering what that is. Some never find it.

This blog is about a journey of self-discovery, yours and mine. I write about the experience of living an artist’s life and share musings and photos as this living experiment unfolds. It is my hope you’ll join in the conversation by writing to me about your lives and I dearly hope something, here, will inspire you.
