I am fortunate enough to receive Louie's "Good Dog Feeds" by email every day.  They are quotes and words of wisdom that he puts together to feed the good dog in us.
( email him and ask to subscribe, it's free. uswalker3@hotmail.com  )
This paragraph is what it's all about,

ABOUT 'Daily Good Dog Feedings'
A Native American Elder told a story about how his people believe that we all have, within us, a 'Good Dog' and a 'Bad Dog,' that are always fighting to be in control.
My friend asked him, "Which One Wins?"
The elder simply replied, "The One That You Feed."

Louie does this free of charge to try to help others.  I suggest you all have a look at his site and register to get the feeds, they are very uplifying and seem to touch on life's problems at exactly the right time.
Happy New Year all.
Lesley

Thank You Jackie (and RUSS) for sharing my work with the world.  Your contribution in helping to legitimize our medium in the art world, is greatly appreciated and for allowing so many creative efforts to be seen by the world.

You (and many of the particpants) have inspired me on numerous occasions, not only with specific ideas but more importanty, empowering me to drag my butt back into my studio when I feel like a talenetless hack fraud (hey, anyone ever been there?). 

Anyway, Thank You.  You are very special people.
