2025 Fall tour recap

November 20, 2025
The whole tour was amazing: 7 shows in 7 cities in 5 weeks. Every day I felt protected. The small and great miracles that God performed made me know that it is still where He wants me to be. I am one of His “Mary’s” sent out into the world. Words come without me knowing what I am to say. The rain stops long enough for us the empty the artwork from the vans. The energy needed to go in high gear for so many days is provided.

I am truly blessed to be able to give back to the different non-profits and organizations that promote awareness about our exhibitions and collaborate to bring in wonderful guests and art lovers. Our hosts and non-profit benefactors included GCCA – Greenville, SC, Sistercare – Columbia, SC, Village of Promise – Huntsville, AL, Children’s Health – Dallas, TX, One Hopeful Place – Destin, FL, Humane Society of West Alabama – Tuscaloosa, AL
 
Truly, since I have been home, picking my olives, you have been in my thoughts. It’s like divine network has been created – an invisible web or tapestry where we are all touched by the physical encounter which lives on in the invisible . 
 
As I pick my olives I feel that it is showing me the very same thing that I experienced on my tour. Imagine that each olive is a person I met, my hand touches it and it is released from the tree and falls to meet the other olives. Each olive is unique and has its essence. 
 
You are present in my soul. A face or name comes to mind, and another and another – people whom I met along the way. Each one comes forward and is held in the olive and all the names are gathered together with me in my spirit. All the olives are rolled into the baskets and then made into olive oil. And for the rest of the year you are giving me your essence. I taste the oil and I nourish my skin with the oil and it is the same as what I receive from you in having been with you in October. I have been touched by you. My heart is full.
