“Sometimes what seems like surrender isn’t surrender at all. It’s about what’s going on in our hearts. About seeing clearly the way life is and accepting it and being true to it, whatever the pain, because the pain of not being true to it is far, far greater.”- Nicholas Evans
Slowly I am learning to surrender and live from my heart. I guess you can say I am a slow learner or maybe a late bloomer yet I think it is not when you arrive to realization about yourself. Understanding accepting and being is all that is needed for anyone to live from the heart. Nature and art is a joy and I hope you find my work a heartfelt creation. Please see my work at Between The Weeds Etsy Shop. The artwork included here is an original garden nature art watercolor of blue and pink garden flowers. It is one of many original work by Laurie Rohner.

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. Anne Frank
Isn’t it the simple things that offer the greatest pleasure and joy. Nature is a part of my life and always will be and in the foggy moments of any life nature is always there ready for you to connect. It could be a flowers scent, image of a gorgeous landscape,or glimpse of a hummingbird connecting you to simplicity of nature.
Lilacs blooming this time of year with their sweet scents and colorful variety of blooms conjures in my mind afternoon tea with my grandma, Honey. She always had a story to share and I can still hear her giggle (which was very infectious). For Mothers Day in the flower shop I would have bouquets ready all around the shop and the shop would fill with the sweet aroma. So I painted this painting in memory of those wonderful times in my life. Maybe lilacs conjure a memory for you also.

I love the feeling I get when I look at my illustration of lilacs and garden flowers with a few bees in watercolor and pen. There is a blush of blue sky hinting at a spring day in May. It is cheery and guarantees a better mood. These are flowers from my gardens in Vermont.

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. Lao Tzu
Today at Between The Weeds I would like to share with you one of the new watercolor painting I have just completed. I had hoped to share this new work with you for Mother’s Day. Then one day I looked at this quote I have scribbled on my studio table and was reminded all things happen in their own time. A leaf does not worry about not opening because it is May it opens when it is ready. Slowly I am learning to work within the space where nature exists. We forget is even there.
This is an original watercolor of a woodland garden with bees and a hint of the sky. You can buy it at Between The Weeds or at Laurie Rohner Studio.

“As my sufferings mounted I soon realized that there were two ways in which I could respond to my situation — either to react with bitterness or seek to transform the suffering into a creative force. I decided to follow the latter course.”- Martin Luther King Jr.
Many years ago I faced the hard realization of the two choices facing me. It was a great fear I held for my life. What if life never got any better? What if I am doomed to live a life filled with disappointments and challenges making my suffering to be unbearable? I knew then as I do now I had the power to choose another direction. My fear was, would life make me bitter and ugly.
Nothing in life happens without our approval. See it and realize every choice has an effect, an outcome we have to take. Sometimes it is predestined and other times our choosing. No matter which it is we can always decide how we will react. Whenever the world gets a bit dark and I feel overwhelmed I go and walk in nature. Find your own grounding method. Make a cup of tea and sip it conscious of each sip. Take a bath imagine a beach. Whatever works for you. Sometimes I find a place and sit down for a few moments but always I remove my self from the darkness.
White Iris Nature Art Painting by Laurie Rohner
I am a big believer of meditation and angel/guide(s). Through meditation I can receive valuable information about my life circumstances. I know my upstairs friends are always there helping me out when I need them. Lately needed more because I have huge decisions and life changes happening.
Remembering the divine-ness of your life is epic. The choices you consider will follow darkness with bitterness or transform a bad situation into a creative light filled wonder.
I am filling my life with creative positive choices. When I was younger I easily found the good in every situation but as I gathered more challenges and life experiences I realized my outlook was becoming cloudy and dimmer. A true life course correction happened. Think of your self as a charged metal rod and the challenges as iron shavings clinging to the charged rod. Switch the charge and the metal shavings fall off. Switch your thinking and the energy of your life changes freeing your thoughts and energy to work with understanding and acceptance, and not fear of loss and hopelessness.
I have created two web sites for my painted work, Laurie Rohner Studio and Painted Furniture Studio. I have created a separate site for selling my home/studio. I am creating what I want through the suffering and transforming my life into a life I see living. Not everyday is it blooming with happy thoughts but the darker ones do not hang around as long. Inside everyone there is something we can change making each life brighter. I’m tired could change to wondering I am low in energy my body wants to take a break and then to I need to appreciate my self and give your self a break. Small changes lead to epic changes in all things.
What a fabulous idea. My nature box sold as a wedding card box.
Gorgeous Wedding Painted Card Box by Laurie Rohner Studio.
I am trying to sell my studio and house in Elkin NC so I can move my business, my favorite companion (Tuck a Standard Poodle), my adventurous life, my possessions (a bit too many) to a home in New Hampshire. While showing this home, a very nice woman who is an event planner for weddings looked at the painted nature box and remarked ” This would make a great card box for weddings”. I should get into that niche here. Great idea, unexpected idea, since I am moving to New Hampshire. After many years trying to fit as an artist in the community here and never quite getting the feedback I wanted or needed to achieve what it is I intend in my life I am heading on. Just because I am moving does not mean the idea is not valid and I should consider it, so I have.
As you can see there is enough room inside to hold a nice collection of wedding money cards. When the wedding is over you have a gorgeous reminder of a special memorable day.
Painted Nature Storage Box open with mortised hinges.
I painted the poplar wood a lovely shade of the softest creamy gray taupe white. I love this base color. To compliment the color I decided to use a subtle simple design with greens and white flowers that cascade down the front. The botanical woodland flowers are from hydrangea to Queen Ann’s Lace and Lily of the Valley. Easily compliments farmhouse cottage or loft decors.
Close up of the top.
Display it on a chest of drawers or table. Stuff it with journals or scarves or even in the bath with toiletries.
Great gift for the bride or wedding couple. Give it to your Mom for all the family memories. Makes a great housewarming and birthday gift,too.
Measures:outside 14.75″ x 11.5″ x 8″ high. inside 12.75″ x 9.75″ x 6.5″ high.
The sides of this nature box are 1/2 stock poplar with mortised hinges.
The design is sketched on my own hand crafted wood keepsake box. I hand paint and add my signature line work. Each box is a one of a kind work. I do not use stencils transfers or prints and they are always my original work. A functional piece of art can easily fit any decor from traditional funky whimsical or of course farmhouse.
Every piece is signed and dated.

It is rare for me to get a crystal clear message from the divine self yet on an occasion or two I have been so unbelievably fortunate to be inspired with a message with clarity no one could ignore. We all have growth spurts when we are young. This morning I had a spiritual growth spurt. I woke up with the understand about where I was heading and the message was received with amazing clarity, I could have no doubt.
I wrestle with the question what is my purpose all the time. Age is not a prerequisite for that question. Today it flashes over everything. Find your purpose. Are you on the right path? Do you do what you love? in your job? in your life? The questions is exhausting and confusing.
Struggling and finding your own way is life. Doing it the way you are meant to is confusing, things change and your feelings change. How do you figure it all out?
Listening. It is the only way to have any growth any awareness and any awakening in life. Today, it has been a very long time since I have really listened, I heard an answer. The answer to my question was… oops that was my answer you are going to have to listen for your own.
Nature Art Watercolor by Laurie Rohner
That is exactly my point, no matter how many people tell you what they think is the answer you and you alone have to hear a response for your own question. For as many different people in this world, no two alike, is the response to your purpose in your life and each life purpose is as different. Money friends family jobs community religion business status awards mean absolutely not a thing so stop putting them into your equation. They are the outcome from a life lived correctly.
One clue I can give you is stop asking is this _________. (fill in the blank) Accept the road you are on and keep heading down it. You can always change direction take another path. Your life is lived from the core of your being, the divine spark inside. It is from that spark of light the answer will be heard, so listen and keep listening until you hear an amazing life altering answer. Could be huge and epic or small and beautiful. Keep listening I assure you it is worth it.
“Every positive change–every jump to a higher level of energy and awareness–involves a rite of passage. Each time to ascend to a higher rung on the ladder of personal evolution, we must go through a period of discomfort, of initiation. I have never found an exception.”
Yesterday I discussed on my blog The Painted Cottage Home about endless speculation and how it can absolutely confine your Self if you do not release it. Once released you start to live from a place of doing and insight. I would have written the post here but it reflected on the home and studio I am selling but I am getting away from the inspiration for this post, here.
If you think about the quote above and then think about the changes you have gone through you have to see the truth to his words. I think yesterday my thoughts were a beginning for the post today. I think back to one of the darkest moments in my life, I was involved in a DUI or DWI depending on where in the USA you live. I was young and thought invincible. I lost everything. My job, my license, my friends, family members found it a perfect time to cast judgement, and I now had a record. Criminal record. I thought I could never survive all this yet somehow I did. Not only survived but became a new wonderful soulful spiritual being.
We all have moments in time that will never change which I refer to as life markers. They are a constant fixed point in our lives. The event will happen but it is what we do after the event that is so crucial. Do you climb to the next rung on the ladder or do you freeze where you are or do you climb back down? Going higher is work and the hardest work you can undertake. If you stay frozen you live a shell of a life, just an existence, no more and no less, just there. If you go down I think it is where evil feeds and life becomes twisted, into the bowel of hell comes to mind. Yet I do not believe in hell as a physical place more one of the mind or dimensional space.
The beloved universe always gives us sign posts and messages for us to see hear think smell nudging us in directions we may not have thought would be right. When you pay attention and learn accepting the goodness and love the beloved universe is offering life gets pretty awesome if not epic. I did not see the sign posts the universe was showing me so my wake up call was a DUI. The DUI was also the best thing to have happened in my life so far. Some events have come close but this moment, this amazing life marker sent me heading on a new bright path.

Today right now life is setting up for something new once more and after experiencing a life marker once before I can feel the energy of a moment fixed in my life time coming towards me. In your gut you can sense an anxiousness,a restlessness of energies around you, your senses become heightened. I am not going to make the same mistake ignoring the signs. I know I have to keep climbing and I know I will be fabulous once it passes. If you have this feeling also keep vigilant and watch how time is moving around you. When that moment hits time seems to slow down. You are acutely aware of time and space.
No one can stop tragedy in life and tragedy is life. I know you can see the signs in your own life. Are you climbing on the ladder next to me or frozen? If you are frozen reach out a hand the beloved universe is there always to aid you guide you and help. If you have fallen well it doesn’t matter because this post would have ended for you long ago, but I send you light and love.
