The most important invention is my smart phone. Before I had a smart phone, I had to spend hours at my local library and Barns and Noble. I had a need to read and before my Kindle, these were my only options. I love physical books, but my reading speed is thwarted by page turningContinue reading “For me”

I love these exercises. It’s fun to imagine an ideal day in my future. Things now are mostly good. Yes, I do realize my days are pretty nice. We are here in southern CA very much enjoying the beautiful weather. California winters are winter, especially if you live here, but the mildest of mild. AtContinue reading “My Ideal Day”

My perspective is ever changing and always evolving. Life does that to me. Perspective makes all the difference, both from the standpoint of art, but also in life. Mentally standing back and viewing myself from outside my head, is something I am learning to do more often. Whenever I’m bowled over by a situation, IContinue reading “My perspective”

When life is getting to me. When interactions feel uncomfortable. When I get treated in a way that makes me feel inferior or unimportant or less valuable, or just plain unfairly, I want to complain to someone! I don’t really like any of this.

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”
