Remember to Reach
Thursday, September 24, 2009 at 9:28AM SOLD
This is one of my all time favorite paintings. While waiting for a new home, it has been hanging in my studio as a daily reminder for me to reach. Reach for my dreams. Reach out and connect with people. Reach for help when I need it. Reach into my heart and find joy in all things.
This painting sold last night. I hope it brings as much joy and reflection when it reaches it's new home as painting it and having it around has brought me.
Life is good! What are you Reaching for today?
Always reaching,
Carmen

Always reaching is a good motto to have. I think about how stagnant we can become if we only stretch to what is close to hand, never stretching to feel the pull and then the reward for what we have attained by reaching just a little farther...to risk and to know we haven't "settled". Happy for you that this amazing piece of work has sold and I hope it brings much happiness to the new owner!
congratulations carmen! aw, was it hard to let it go? this will be such an inspiring piece for the buyer - such a beautiful message and that blue... what a fabulous, deep-reaching blue!
Congrats! This is my favorite work of yours...
Congrats on your sale!! So happy for you!
I'm happy for you that it sold but I'm sad for me that I was not the buyer! Congratulations!
Carmen, congrats on that big sale! That's wonderful. These days, I'm just reaching to keep my head above water. Busy time of the year for me. :-)
This is truly beautiful Carmen! The color turquoise is my fav & utilizing this one powerful word just anchors it! Congratulations on the sale...as well as the launching of your new online class. So proud over here :)
I'm still reaching for cold medicine...but this makes me smile.

I'm reaching out to give you a hug for being such an inspiration!
Congrats Carmen! It's always difficult letting go of a favurite. I'm usually fairly free with my paintings but I must admit there are 2 or 3 that I just can't part with! All guns blazing ~ you go girl!!
Don't stop reaching, Carmen... you're almost there! Congratulations! I'm so proud, and I love you!
Congratulations, Carmen - what a beautiful piece and how wonderful that you have made such a great sale.
I am totally in that reaching mode myself - it is exciting, exilarating and a little scary at the same time but man, I know it is the right thing because my soul is singing !!!
Off to promote your class on my blog so maybe I could play along with you !
Cheers !
