41 “Wild and Crazy Love”

Are there any other bachelor followers out there? (Yes, I admit to the vice). During the post Season Finale interview, Jake said something that caught my attention. When asked what he and Vienna had that was so special, he replied, "We have this wild and crazy love." "Hmmm"…I wondered… "What is he talking about?"  Was it the obvious physical zing that swayed …

38 “I’m Feeling Really Green!”

Give me a few days of spring-like weather and I feel really green! Green speaks to me of new life!                When I "go green," there is growth happening. Like the tender runners of my strawberry plants, new interests take me beyond what I am presently doing.                I find a similar pattern always occurs. Some new …

Day 36 “Just What the Doctor Ordered!”

My husband and I took a Valentine's Day trip to the Getty Villa in Malibu, California. Both of us really needed  this creative excursion. If a prescription could cure the work blues, this day would be at the top of doctor's medicine lists. We had such a refreshing day getting away! This museum is very different from the Getty in Los Angeles, …

Day 34 “A Rainbow of Possibilities”

Some of us "creative types" have prism-like mind. Artistic inspiration moves through our thoughts like white light separating into a spectrum of colorful ideas. What may seem to others as lack of focus, to us is a rainbow of artistic possibilities.      I have always cherished rainbows. During difficult times, rainbows reminded me of hope. I found comfort in …

Day 33 “I See Red”

 Red is a passionate and powerful color!        I love red! Red hearts and red roses symbolize love.        "Redness" ignites feelings of loving life...and taking pictures to prove it!        Yet beyond all the red expressions I am so used to seeing stateside, I found this vibrant color interwoven throughout the culture of Argentina.        How can one not …

Day 28 “I Teach”

"A moment happens while living upon this earth when you realize it is not all about you…and then you teach!"   I need to refocus! Yesterday's session with my editor spun me out of optimism and into a depressive inertia. I spent my time designing the "Refrain from the Identical" creativity site because I had …

Day 27 “Right Turns”

Have you ever had a sharp "right turn" redirect your destiny? What you anticipated happening abruptly dead ends and the only path left seems disappointing?    If I had a nickel for every time this happened to me, I could buy a motor scooter and drive through the streets of Uruguay (oh wait, my children …

Day 26 “Chameleon”

When I began this blogging quest, I wanted my blog to reflect what I experience in my personal identity search, "You never know what you're going to get!" I go on more bird walks off the intended path than thought humanly possible. Perhaps this tendency is an addiction to the new or maybe just an …

Day 25 “Homespun Creativity”

Ok, I've hit the wall! Daily posting proves rigorous for this full-time teacher and at times I will miss the mark. The posts will still be numbering although they will not coincide with the day's date. I am also working on categorizing them better for finding past favorites. With that said, here is day 25 a little late:   …
