I may be quieter for a time, with posting, and getting to visit as I want to concentrate on more ME time this next couple of weeks.. I started to paint some more pots and I am going to be in the garden and out more while the weather stays good in between my day job..
So here are some of what I have been up to.. 
Toadstool land
Flower Land
I am painting the flowers which I see around me and in my garden .. Moon Penny Daisies, Sunflowers, Forget-me-nots, Poppies and Fuchsias .. The pot in the centre was based on my Fuchsia plant here.. I think I got the colours matched well..
Now I am going to leave you with a video, you either love or dislike this man Russell Brand.. Last year he caused a stir with his interview on BBC News Night Spiritual Revolution interview, The video below contains many of his talks joined together in a 10 minute video. Listen to what it is he is saying and yes there are a few choice words in there too but we are all adults here and hear them on the streets regularly so my apologies in advance if this offends anyone..
Are you an Awakened Individual? I would love to hear your thoughts on what Russell has to say….
See you soon as you view the workings of this world and open your mind to what he is saying..
Be Good to one another and I will catch up with you shortly..
Blessings~ Sue

Yes I have to agree with you also Karen, for a long while I disliked the man, but then We only see what is portrayed… Do we really ever know an individual, and often if I saw him in a film, the film part would be eccentric and to be frank often obnoxious. Such we judge by appearances instead of what is beneath the cover.. I may do a post upon this subject as I feel a thought brewing!.. 🙂

Sue, I am so happy you are finding time to paint and enjoy the lovely weather.
As for Russell Brand, I was surprised to hear him in an interview early this year to see how intelligent he is. I am not necessarily a fan of his movies and after the roles he has played I didn’t think he would be that deep of a person. I watched the video and was saddened to see the one caption referring to him as having a Messiah Complex. How rude when all he’s trying to do is get people to think about the the bigger issues of love, homelessness and poverty.

On Russell Brand, he’s definitely inspiring. Because he holds nothing back his voice has spread and the youth who do watch his movies are now listening to his message and taking it to heart. He is changing the way people are thinking and that’s a good thing.

Sue, I have also taken a short break from blogging. I consider myself an awakened individual, simply because that is a path I chose for myself long time ago, and the alternative is always there, it’s just that spirituality is not an easy path (or ‘awakening” or how you may call it). We live in such a materialistic society that it’s extremely difficult to become awakened or to at least realise the alternative is always there. Also, “awakened” for me is a personal process for everyone. This is really interesting, thanks for sharing this.

No path is easy, least of all the spiritual path.. but that is why we all are upon our various roads travelling our various routes… We have for the most part lost our way as the roads of Materialism had detoured us and led us down the paths of ‘Want’ and more ‘Want’. and while I so understand we came to experience the material world of ‘Matter’ we have forfeited Nature along our journey..
We trash her air and waterways, and poison and pollute not only our environment but our own bodies with chemicals and drugs from the pharmaceutical corporations who synthetically produce so called cures that create 5 more illnesses so more drugs are needed..
