#painteroflight

hi! that can be really difficult and I’ve definitely struggled with that a lot in the past couple of years. 

and honestly? it’s kind of a process. it takes practice to say “i did what i could and that is enough, whatever will be will be” and then let things unfold organically. but you’ve already done it and can’t change anything else about it now, so why waste the energy on worrying about it? 

even if these exams determine what schools you might get into or something else that it important to your future, it’s just one very small part of the stuff that makes up your life. there are many paths to success and we each have to determine what makes the journey worth it for us. what do you love to do? do more of it. take extra good care of yourself this week. be extra nice to yourself this week because you’re a shiny star and you deserve it.

“but Nicole,” you might say, “what if I don’t get the grades I want?”

doesn’t matter. you are made of stardust. isn’t that incredible? you’re delightful and unique and special and grades are just a small representation of how well someone else thought you did in one thing that one time. you want to know a sentence that changed my life? “your GPA is just one line on your resume.” it isn’t a representation of your worth or your values or you. are grades important? yes - but only to a point. you are so much more important!

put on your favorite music, eat something tasty, hang out with some friends, take a nap and let it go. it’s not worth stressing over things that we can’t change. i can’t even tell you how many times in my life i have stressed myself out to the point of actual illness over things i couldn’t change. shit happens friend, and if it doesn’t come out how you wanted then learn from the experience and try again next time. 

✨ CHASE THE LIGHT: A Collector’s Exclusive ✨

There’s a reason Thomas Kinkade is known worldwide as the "Painter of Light." He didn't just paint landscapes; he captured the feeling of coming home.

We are beyond excited to present a true gallery classic: "The Mountain Chapel."

Imagine walking through a crisp mountain forest during the "golden hour" and stumbling upon this—a glowing stone chapel nestled right by a peaceful stream. It’s the ultimate "Cozy Cottage" or "Grandmillennial" vibe that’s taking over interior design right now.

Why This Piece is a Must-Have:

The Vibe: Pure peace, faith, and a sanctuary from the noise of the world.

The Frame: It’s housed in a stunning, ornate gold-toned "Baroque style" frame that is a work of art in itself.

The Detail: Features a deep blue mat that makes those glowing windows absolutely pop.

The Heritage: A signature release from the famous "Galleries of Light."

Art like this doesn't just sit on a wall—it changes the entire energy of a room. 🕊️🌲
