Some of you will envy me for this post, because I have a luxury this month: time. I was lucky getting stuck in vortex-land near family, so I didn’t lose money on hotels and cab fares waiting out the winter storm that stranded flights for almost a week. Nor did I need to call a […]

“But all the possibilities No limits just epiphanies” I love that line in the American Authors song I posted on January 1. It has so much promise and hope, along with the positive spin of learning lessons. Everything is an epiphany in some form, even what we don’t like to experience at the time. So […]
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. ~ Melody Beattie Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and it always is a nice time to reflect on gratitude. I started my professional life as a rookie reporter which meant I began the day with the police report and obituaries before […]

Then I had to get a birthstone commission completed, which was a lot of fun. The past two days […]
We had a Harvest Moon recently and I decided to test my birthday-gifted camera with it. I had a hard time taking night photos with my LX3, but the Panasonic Lumix 7 creates lovely atmospheric sky photos (I’ve done no editing to these shots). Now to learn the rest of the camera settings and figure […]
I took off most of August to tend to visitors which meant that my studio was also occupied. As I reviewed the upcoming exhibits and fairs I felt stressed that I had not spent more time in the studio. Then I created some pieces for Aurora Rose which brought me back into that zone of […]
Today is for stopping and smelling the flowers. Hugging loved ones. Feeling blessed.
I didn’t feel like laboring during Labor Day weekend so there was no post on Monday. Yesterday I reviewed my monthly activities, and while as usual I was pushing myself each day/week to do more and be more (feeling a bit social media shamed here and there—everyone else seems so much more productive), overall the […]
