I listened to a long podcast today. Jordon Peterson interviewing author Iain Geschrist about his latest book. This was one I had to pay attention to. They were ping ponging from subject to subject, all with the theme of the two hemispheres of our brains having very different functions. Concepts and theories were tossed outContinue reading “Right hemispheric brain function”

My Own Style
If you could have something named after you, what would it be? My own art. You know when you say it’s a Picasso or a Van Gough or a Monet? Even a designer brand like Channel or Calvin Cline or Rachel Zoe. That Nothing else comes to mind
All I Need…
All I need is a little excitement. A small incentive to keep putting one foot in front of the other. All is well, all is good. Our next leg is coming up soon and I am tired. I don’t see rest as a possibility, so my only choice is to power on. Sometimes I don’tContinue reading “All I Need…”
Laughter
What makes you laugh? Wit, pets, kids, my husband, life…
Funny
When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up? At age five, I was not thinking about being grown up, at all. Grown ups were like they were in Peanuts cartoons. Remember they had a sound for them talking that had no words. I didn’t even want to imagine beingContinue reading “Funny”

I also know that I don’t need to figure it all out to live and be kind or to find joy. I learned this recently. I learned that I don’tContinue reading “It’s Complicated”

How has technology changed your job? Exponentially! Writing a picture book? Even a handful of years ago was so hard to format. I had to learn Adobe and fast, but there WAS Adobe. So there’s that. This morning I needed to draw an egret and needed to see a picture of one to draw itsContinue reading “So Many Ways”
Weird teaching moment for me today…
Here are some things that came to me after I wrote the post that answered the ‘no’ prompt. It feels like I’m being schooled today. Its worth a bit of a laugh and well, I should probably pay attention. So, I guess that’s that!
Equinox
Spring Equinix. It’s here. Since the first of January I have had the privilege of hanging out and wintering in CA. Seeing my friends and family, walking the beach, working on my books. It’s been a dream that keeps on going. I have been here throughout all the things I hoped to be a partContinue reading “Equinox”
