Or rather dream career or maybe dream life… Sometimes I look around and wonder if I’m not in it right now. I’m an artist. It’s a job, a career and a life. It’s not as glamorous as it sounds. Getting ready to show art is a many faceted thing. It’s like a puzzle, which IContinue reading “Dream Job”

I’m a bit of a fan of wild ideas. Outliers, out of the box thinking, ‘crazy’ seems a little harsh, but it’s a perspective. My brain struggles with rational, logic. There’s a confession. Not that I don’t understand it’s very nessesary place, not that I don’t reason out how to bring about the outlandish whileContinue reading “Wild Plans”

Can I share a positive example of when I felt loved? Such a great prompt question. I like it because it’s always sweet to remember and acknowledge and feel the good vibration of love in my life. I’m going to choose this one very recent moment. The other day after getting back after being outContinue reading “Positively Loved”

The adventure continues… After a bit of an epic journey, we have landed back in California. (Our little beach town is at least three hours south of LA., so no fire danger here. I do know several people who have friends and family who are dealing with the horrible after affects right now. It reallyContinue reading “Planet SoCal”

I’m giving this a little thought. People have said to me: “Oh you’re so creative”. It didn’t always sound like a compliment. There were a few years when I lived in a community that said it as a bit of a ‘backhanded’ compliment. At the time, I started cringing when I heard it.

Even after someone has shown me, I still have a lot of compassion. But I have learned toContinue reading “Character”

Happness is something I’m becoming a student of. My own happiness that is. I have learned a lot about the importance of knowing my own personal energy boosters. It doesn’t take much. My morning coffee makes me very happy. Grandkids. Anything involving them, one FaceTime call… Friends. Yoga. Music. A good joke. One witty person.Continue reading “The MOST Happy”

The last fun thing I did was going to Chester for a birthday date. I love this cool town. It’s all decked out for the holidays and looks completely Halmark movie magical. (they actually filmed one there). It’s the town that was bought up by an artist and restored, one building at a time. WeContinue reading “Fun”

I would say no. My life is not. I’m still trying to wrap my head around where I am. But I wonder Did I ever stop and try to picture my future life last year? Because last year at this time we were driving back and forth to two different hospitals. Our eighty seven yearContinue reading “What I Pictured”
