prayer changes bad circumstances into opportunities & new freedom. so, keep on praying!

Guest		22-May-2012 21:54
getting lost on canvas with a paint brush in hand is one powerful feeling of freedom and liberation. the same rush is experienced by musicians, writers, leaders and public speakers. i am an abstract/expressionist (painter) and my testimonial is based on personal experiences on canvas for many years....

It is amazing the spiritual lessons that can be learned in surrending. Surrending to me is going to the alter on bended knees, letting go of past, then rising up and soaring to higher grounds or unchartered waters. That is the lesson I learned from the minister's message, MOTHER'S DAY 2012, in Charlotte, NC. Prior to that message, I had been holding onto certan family matters that angered me that I wanted to see changed. The good news is, when I surrendered to the family matter,the situation changed. A NEW MOMENT ENTERED MY DAY, MY PATH. THANK YO GOD FOR ENABLING ME TO SEE AND ACCEPT THE DIFFERENCE...LILLE`

SOME "FUN" QUOTES FOR THIS RAINY CALIFORNIA THURSDAY EVENING... "Rain, rain, don't go away. The night is young. It's dry outside. So, let's all bend our knees to pray." "It's so easy to go through stages in life seeking permission and approval. Now is the time to trust your own feelings and make critical decision about future steps to take without guilt but with influence. LILLE`

CELEBRATION OF WOMEN'S MONTH, MARCH 2012... Select significant women in your life and let them know that you appreciate them -- send them a handwritten greeting card and fill it with words of love. It is because of these women that we were born, nurtured early-on, pampered by many moms and dads throughout the land and countries. My mom, like my dad, is the most positive influences in my life. They laid a spiritual foundation for me to learn from and lend on after they have left me on earth to stand up on my own...I LOVE YOU BOTH... Lille` Mc Ghee-Queen, A Spouse/ Mom/Grandmom

A THOUGHT FOR THIS DAY, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 2012 "...When All Else Fails, Prayer Is The Answer."

Lille McGhee		27-Feb-2012 15:03
Spring 2012 is just around the corner -- oh, what great season to experience. Well, all seasons are great: Winter Season -- the chills, dressing in layers, snuggling to keep warm and the white snow. Fall Season -- a time of beauty, multi-colored leaves falling from the trees and landing on the ground, and above, shopping with colors in mind. Spring Season -- new growth, green colors popping up everywhere, a freshness in the air and shedding of winter coats. Summer Season -- a time to run wild and free, minimum clothing, sun baths, playing in deep and shallow waters. No matter what season, let it be your best season of all; spiritually, culturally, economically & more... Lille`

"LIFE IS... ABOUT seeing that which is in front of you; analayzing the good points objectively and tossing the bad points to the wind." If there are some blind spots hidden along life's path, ask for spiritual guidance in finding your way back home for self-empowerment & direction. Lille M. Queen, Poet & Author

A MOMENT IN HISTORY -- EARTHQUAKE IN HAITI, JANUARY 2010 I, Lille M. Queen, Artist, (Abstract Expressionist), did not paint an abstract painting of Haiti. It would be simply too much of emotional experience. Those moments and brush strokes on canvas would rip through my heart. My husband, Mike, and I made a financial contribution, through the Red Cross, to help the Haiti victims. As an Artist, I did however, custom design, 60 "memory" bracelets for the women and girlfriends in Haiti. A colorful ribbon is tied around each bracelet. Today, Saturday, May 29, 2010 (Memorial Weekend/California), in memory of the females in Haiti, I am giving away 20 Memory HAITI Bracelets-- each with a tied ribbon. The bracelets will be given to members of the Girlfriends Networking Club and their guests, at our Annual "High" Tea...Tyme For Tea House, Fremont, California. Everyone will also receive another gift (in memory of my mother who wore clip-on earrings),a pair of custom-designed "Diva/Vintage Clip-On EarRings" handcrafted/designed by Lille. At this point in my life, it's more about giving than receiving...These days, I have so much wisdom to give to the Girlfriends Club that I founded in January 2010, also to our son, Varek, 39, and grandson, Giano, age 17, a 2010 High School Graduate, Arizona. Signed: Lille M. Queen, 5/29/2010

SPRING 2010 IS HERE BUT ALSO AN OIL SPILL IN THE GULF.... When you tour the Girlfriends Art Gallery and see the abstract paintings, "Global Warming," you will pause for a moment. Then you will say, the paintings is a reminder of what is happening in the Gulf Coast of Mexico Oil Spill (April 2010) an unresolved diaster to now, May 24, 2010.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25, 2009, SILICON VALLEY, NORTHERN CALIFORNIA Oh, where do I start? In reflecting upon Christmas Celebrations, from my childhood days on the farmlands of North Carolina, to the present moment, my heart is filled with JOY! I am a happy person, a spouse, mom and grandmom, what more can I spiritually ask for? I now have an extended family of Girlfriends in Silicon Valley -- most of our relatives are residing on the East Coast. A Special Thank-You Message to my deceased parents and grandparents. They, individually, loved us, provided us with good spiritual values and work-ethics that are all passed into this generation and generations to come in our families. I AM HAPPY TODAY.... Lille Mc Ghee-Queen,

A MESSAGE ABOUT LIFE -- It is so easy to get caught up in one's own drama or in the drama of others. Whenever you feel the need to get "caught" up, take a step backward and ask, WHY? While there may be something positive which may develop from "dramatic" situations, too often it's not. Drama is saturated with negative energy. Recognize drama. Squash it. Move forward with a healthy attitude & intelligence...Lille M. Queen, Author & Artist -- Northern California/USA

A THOUGHT FOR THIS DAY, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2009 -- A FEW DAYS BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY! Quote...by Lille Mc Ghee-Queen/Poet...Friday, November 6, 2009 "Life Is Not A Straight Line. It Is A Map Filled With Hills...Valleys... Unknown Paths...Opportunities...Cheers...Challenges...Curves In The Road...&...Much More. Choose To Live A Quality Life. It's Your BirthRight, Also An Entitlement."

THE "LETTER OF REJECTION..." The Artist Has Options! A SHORT STORY... When a writer or artist receives a rejection letter from a publisher, organization, or institution, there are so many different ways to process the "unwanted" news: through anger, hurt feelings, emotional injustice, self-pity, turn the rejection into a creative moment and move forward. Several months ago (Sept. 2009), I received such a letter from the Women's In The Arts Museum, Washington, D.C., -- a non-profit organization where I've been a member, off and on, for several years. In December 2008, I submitted a proposal letter requesting to donate several of my 'best' abstract paintings. Well around nine months later, September 2009, the Rejection Letter arrived on my desk. ACTION ITEM... One day in November 2009 (perhaps on my sixty-something birthday), I will respond to the writter of the Rejection Letter and let writer know that as a writer & artist, "I WILL RISE ABOVE THE REJECTION." What further interests me -- perhaps concerns me now is, I am still getting letters from the Museum asking me for MONETARY DONATIONS AND MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL. What's up with that?? QUESTION: How can I feel loyal to any Art Musem who is only interested in my financial contributions but in the same breathe, REJECT MY ABSTRACT PAINTINGS in an impersonal "form" letter? CONCLUSION: My parents always instilled in my mind to rise above my persent circumstances. I will never disappoint my parents, and I will RISE BEYOND THE MUSEUM'S REJECTION LETTER." Lille Mc Ghee-Queen, Author,Artist, Poet, San Jose, California....Novemer 1, 2009

THE ARTIST'S QUESTIONS? Where would our lives be without the beauty of art? How would we feel self-empowered without jewelry? Or, at minimum, a cup of tea? Lille Mc Ghee-Queen, Artist & author

My mother and my daughter were my best friends who I talked to on a daily basis three and four times a day when I loss them I thought I would never have girlfriends like them again. Lille', you and the rest of the "Girlfriends" let me know there are there are more "Girlfriends" in the world. Lille' Your art is warm and soothing how blessed you are to have such a wonderful talent.

margaret		21-Nov-2008 14:27
Lil, You are too much!!!!! A lovely piece of lit. It has great depth. I guess we all have a calling (s) and a plan for our lives and you have really tapped into yours. Portions of the poem speak to me. And that's a good thing. The art is beautiful and different. You are unstoppable! I guess you can see I'm excited about it. LOL. Lil, I congratulate you on all of your accomplishments in life. Your are indeed a multi-tasker. I'll leave all the art to you (who does it best) and I'll stick to cover design, printing, and my own flavor of writing which is NOT poetry. I love the poem. Love it.

STEPHINE		20-Nov-2008 05:30
Lille my beloved aunt and confidant what a beautiful website you have. You are such a loving and talented woman and you are my mentor. Keep up the great work that you are doing. I love everything about the website. YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YA STEPHINE

COMMENTS FROM THE ARTIST.... I am so personally greatful for each and every comment I've received in my two Abstract Art Galleries Website: www.pbase.com_lille/mcghee -- "Mother, Nature & Art" & "Girlfriends Art Gallery." These comments are not only from people here in the United States of America, but other countires. It fills my heart with "unlimited" joy to read comments such as, "...prior to my seeing your art, there was not interest in abstract art." I would like to think that I've made a thumb print in the Art World. That feeling overwhelms me with happiness, confidence, creativity, humility & joy. It is with sadness that my parents died before I made my first brush stroke on canvas on a hot summer day, August 1994, South San Francisco, CA. Signed: LILLE M. QUEEN

hongmei Low		28-Aug-2008 23:49
