November 2016 my daughter gave Will a groupon for Veritas Wine Room in Dallas, to thank him for doing work in her home.
We do not often visit this part of Dallas; however in July my glacoma test was due and my Doctor is not far from this location on North Henderson in Dallas; after the appointment we drove a short distance to Veritas Wine Room.
While there I noticed art work hanging on the walls and I began a conversation with Ellie the manager and asking about the art etc. She inquired “are you an artist; do you have pictures of your work”. The magic of my cell phone and the photos sparked her interest.
On December 6, 2017, Will installed 13 pieces of my art at Veritas Wine Room, 2323 N. Henderson, Dallas, TX 75206. This is a reality that I could have not dreamed. It came to me as an unexpected gift from above.
A divine encounter, asking me to keep the appointment. The thoughts that run through my mind and the chatter that says you are not good enough, this is not going to happen , your dreams are in the pipe and are not going to be revealed, these thoughts often keep me from moving forward. Then the voice within speaks and I am reminded that I am a child of God who created all that I see, feel and experience and more than I can imagine.
How can I limit the art of the divine? Can I count the stars? Can I know their names? Did I tell the sun when to rise or the moon to shine or direct the waves of the oceans? Of course not????
“Be still and know that I am God” Ps. 46
Many years of my life’s journey was not still. My career as a stewardess/flight attendant was fast paced and often lived in the future, as our bids for the next month were processed in the present and our vacations were bid for a year in advance. Traveling at the rate of 500 miles an hour and trying to put everyday life into perspective was a challenge. Yet it was an adventure that I treasure.
A wonder filled career that only my fellow Sky Sisters can relate remains in my heart and inspires my art.
If you find yourself at Veritas Wine Room, tasting a wine from many regions of the world and you see my art, I hope it will bring light and love to your heart.
Perhaps you will encounter Ellie, the angel that believed in me. Her smile and her love will warm your heart.
Divine Appointments are all around us. Keeping them is up to
US!!!
Merry Christmas,
Martha
