I have many examples of people who have left me better than they found me. The one that comes to mind today is my sixth grade teacher, Mrs Bailey. She was an excellent teacher.

5 Positive Things
Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life. Not much of a story. Here are five things my husband taught me. 1) The importance and possibility of fun I spent what felt like a lifetime trying to be a serious grownup.

P I N K
Maybe it’s all the pink flowering trees and bushes I keep passing lately. For whatever reason this painting keeps veering off towards pink. I’ll throw some gray in to balance it, and green, but I seem to have a lot of pink again. Matisse didn’t shy away from using pink I’ve always liked pink, redContinue reading “P I N K”

What was the last live performance you saw? I saw Lily in Mean Girls. Some people loved this movie so much they made it into a play. For middle schoolers. Perplexing.
Just Another Thursday
I wonder if my momentum is waning Maybe Im just tired. Probably nothing a good night sleep can’t solve. I’ve been doing my best to stay upbeat. Working at different things. Painting and posting on instagram every day. Looking for what will feel joyful, positive, peaceful. I have watched over my energy and regulated asContinue reading “Just Another Thursday”
Which One?
What do you do to be involved in the community? Which community is ‘the’ community I wonder. My east coast yoga community is one I’m happily involved in. How am I involved? Well I go often. I appreciate all the different instructors and the different classes that they teach and tell them. (because I sincerelyContinue reading “Which One?”
