Is it the Journey?

They say this. It’s not about the destination, it’s all about the journey. No story is worth telling (or hearing) if you skip over the twists and turns, and go straight to the ending. I’m about to head into another part of this little journey of mine. I’m not sure how it will play out,Continue reading “Is it the Journey?”

It’s Complicated

What’s something most people don’t understand? Most everything. The older I get, the more I know that I don’t know or understand. People, existence, life. 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”

So Many Ways

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!

How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals? My most important goal is to keep my energy as, light and flowing as possible. This sounds esoteric and somewhat comical when I read it back but let me try to explain… In order for me to show up and moveContinue reading “Cheers to the Nos”

One and one

What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had? I wish I could sing I have an ability to surprise people with being able to do odd things extremely well.

Update

Another unpredictable day. I have so many of these lately you would think I’d be used to them by now. It took some time for me to glue the printed pages to the cut and folded poster board, but once it was together my book pages turned smoothly and looked okay. I had a walkContinue reading “Update”

California

What is your favorite type of weather? Maybe this I love SoCal weather the most

Counting Down

My days are numbered. I have so much I still want to do. I guess that’s the way it goes sometimes. I’m taking some deep breaths and figuring out my priorities. My mock-up copy of Beatrix was a big hold up and in the end I needed some real miracles as well as some extraContinue reading “Counting Down”
