Fine art prints and cards of Mary Jo Oxrieder's original watercolor & Ink/mixed media paintings.

Story: I have one of those minds that automatically says, “NO!” to everything. I may not say it out loud, but if someone asks me to come to dinner, go to a movie, go play, I say “No Way” in my mind immediately. Too much trouble, leave me alone, I’ve got other things to do. I began to wonder if I won the Lottery if I’d be annoyed at having to make the trip to the State Office to collect my check! And then another thought… what if I said ‘YES!’ instead? What might happen? Oh, sure, my mind did back flips and side lunges at the very notion of being so … so … so CRAZY. So open, so FORWARD. Certainly doom and death would come of it. But I was persistent and tough. While my mind shouted NO!, in my head, I said out loud, “Yes! I’d love to.” Sure, I can’t always actually do everything, but I consider the possibility. I became aware of how many lovely invitations moved through my day. I recovered my young adventuresome Self. The richness of my days deepened and expanded. Eventually I said, “YES!” to my True Love, to living where I most wanted to live, to doing the work of my heart.

So… why not “Yes!”?
