"Soul Graffiti" Artist

Everyone has the potential to be a ~~~ Soul Graffiti Artist


A few weeks ago I was web surfing info for Nicole, (my daughter).
I came upon a book by Mira Kirshenbaum: Too Good to leave,
Too Bad to Stay. I ordered the book which was supposed to help
one make the decision about staying or leaving a relationship.



At the same time, I reserved 2 library books by Kirshenbaum,
as they looked pretty interesting.


The too good book arrived in the mail a couple of days ago,
AFTER Nicole had made the choice and ended her 3 year relationship.



After flipping through the book, both Nic and I agreed
that the book was still very worthwhile as it contained some good
info on relationships and communication within them. :)


I went to the library last night and picked up the 2 books that
I had reserved.
The one is Everything Happens for a Reason - finding the true
meaning of events in our lives.
It's not as IF this title was some revelation for me. LOL
I've believed it and it's been a part of my life for a VERY long time.
Yet, I am certain that the book contains some useful information
for me and it will be good to read.


This morning in looking at the back cover I spotted a web address
for Mira Kirshenbaum:



Upon going to the site - I surfed over to another site called:
Soul Graffiti



Sometime within the past 2 years upon sharing the drawing
I did of an Angel and Soldier with my dog's allergy vet
she said to me .............
"Ohhhhhhhh you're an artist".   


When I heard Dr Alice say that, I thought to myself....
'Monet, Van Gogh, and Renoir were artists" --- "I only paint".


This thought happened at nearly the speed of light....
but my outward response was..........


"Well, I guess you could say that".


That conversation STUCK and STUCK in my head.



Until finally I came to KNOW and UNDERSTAND......


"YES" !!!!!!!!!!!! "I am an artist" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I've thought about and tried to explain my reluctance
at calling myself an 'artist', I suppose it has much to do
with my previously underdeveloped self esteem.


Today, I am quite comfortable in calling myself...



"An artist". I know my ability to paint and draw and be
creative is a God given talent.


So........... here today I jump to the Soul Graffiti web site,
to see a description of Soul Graffiti.


Soul Graffiti (sol graf - fi – ti) V. the conscious act of
performing kindness to another soul, resulting in leaving
an everlasting imprint on another's life.


I read that definition and BAMMMMMM it hit me:"I am also a Soul Graffiti Artist" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Whooooooooooo who. I am on a cloud at this realization / revelation . :))))))))








Dr Joe Powers has this on his web site:



As Maya Angelou once wrote, "when we cast our bread upon the waters we can presume that someone downstream whose face we will never know will benefit from our action, as we who are downstream from another will profit from the grantor's gift." It is likewise my hope that through Soul Graffiti™ we can together lift our spiritual brushes to paint upon the lives of others with acts of kindness and compassion - ultimately bringing true permanence to our own lives and a beautiful mural upon the soul of humankind.
