I’m trying to answer this question because I feel it has a nice message for me today. I’ve spent money on expensive things before. Lots of times. However I rationalized, I made it make sense. I’m usually pretty frugal and I know it’s not things that will lead to ultimate happiness, but there comes alongContinue reading “Item”

It was commissioned by my favorite nonprofit #kidsforpeace to kick off Kindness Week during lockdown. It was a difficult time. To see it today, was a surprise. it was more evidence that love is the only response. In the end, love wins. Love. Wins. It does.

I’ve been a member of book clubs and over the years met some wonderful people throughContinue reading “Book Clubs”

I would rather admire the moon from where I am, than go there, so no amount of $

A lot of stuff. And not much really. For example, right now, Im boiling eggs. Not for myself. I’m working on some paintings. I wish that was going better. I’m helping get this lot ready to plant after the entire grassy area died from an infestation of grubs, (this is a real thing, apparently. SeveralContinue reading “What have I been working on?”
