See the BIG picture. Focus on what’s important.

I finished this painting late last night. Today, it’s New Year’s Eve and I’m silent and pensive as the painting speaks to me.

The dramatic colours of the sunset cause me to look back with love and gratitude for the bitter and sweet experiences in 2024. The transition of loved ones and the giggles and soft kisses of my grandchildren are patent reminders of the evolution and renewal of life. The tangled mass of vegetation, much like the craziness in the world today doesn’t quite make sense. But, the ebb and flow of the tide, beckon me to get into a new rhythm, to create new traditions and to move forward into a new year.

The entire painting is rich in symbolism, and takes me back to my daily mantra: See the big picture. Focus on what’s important.

As I move into a new year, instead of being overwhelmed – as I felt as I created this painting – I’m going to face each day’s challenges and blessings, one moment at a time.

Happy new everything in 2025 to all my Facebook friends!

Peace & Love!

Enabling businesses and people to be successful. This is my mission, my life’s work. It’s always been what I have done wherever I’ve been employed, called to serve or to volunteer. An experienced business leader, my core values are truth, integrity, and respect. I believe that values-based leadership is critical for organizational success that is enabled by an engaged and empowered workforce. Working over the years in several senior marketing, communications, and executive leadership mandates for global, financial, healthcare, and non-profit organizations, it has been through times of transformation and difficult change that I have done my best work. In my blog posts, I share my perspectives on leadership, marketing and strategy that are based on my key learnings and observations over the years, all with the objective of helping others reach for success. In my spare time, I enjoy the beauty of nature which I reproduce in my pastel paintings.
