When I got back from Germany my mail carrier delivered my copy of INCiTE 4: Relax, Restore, Renew. Each part talks about how art relaxes, restores, and renews from the perspective of the contributing artists. My page is in the Relaxing section, which makes me happy. It is exciting to see my piece reproduced in a […]
This coming week a special book is shipping all over the country. Incite 4: Relax, Restore, Renew: The Best of Mixed Media, edited by Tonia Jenny has one of my pendants between its covers.

“If you wish to live forever, start wishing to live more in the now than for it.” ~ Paul Pearsall, Wishing Well I’ve been ditching plans, idling, roaming, and pondering.

Did I mention that I am planning to check some dream destinations off my list this year? Well, I am! The cruise that was to kick-start it all won’t take place in the allotted time, so I am working on an alternate plan. My library has fabulous resources for my newly selected destination.
