Magic City Art Connection offers art that heals the artist and the art buyer

By Chanda Temple 

When things got tough, Atlanta artist Lauren Lane turned to painting. 

Through strokes of vibrant oranges, greens and blues, she painted through the worries and pains of family health challenges, a difficult workload and the self doubt of “Is my art good enough.” 

Never one to break, she placed her trust in God. And He delivered.

You can have it all. It all starts with whether you believe it.

So many times, folks believe they have to have this or that to feel as though they've "made it.'' But that's where they get it wrong. If you feel like you already are the brightest Crayon in the box or the baddest chick on the block, go with it. It's all about what you think. You are what you believe. As long as you believe it, you can achieve it. Go with what you have in your heart and make it work for you on your journey to be great.

Will your tomorrow be better than your today?

When the sun goes down today, will you weep or will you run?

Weird question, huh? But it’s pretty easy to answer.

Will you weep because you still haven’t done what you’ve been meaning to do to get ahead in life? Or will you run, run to your next destiny because you’ve started to implement a plan of improvement for yourself? It doesn’t matter if you’ve stalled or soared in your plan. The main point is that you’ve started.

No matter your answer in this little quiz, the meaning behind all of it comes down to you. You are the one with the power to decide what will happen when the sun goes down on your dreams. Will you be stumbling around in the dark or will you have vision to see light at the end of the tunnel?
