We creative sorts are destined to be moon dancers, people who envision the impossible and dance upon the unreachable, dreams as distant as the moon. We spent an inordinate amount of time fantasizing about what could happen in our artistic lives: Perhaps I’ll become a famous novelist. Maybe my art will be recognized on Etsy …
Put on your Dancing Boots
A couple of months ago, I returned to country western dancing—line dance and two-step. Now I remember why I love it so. Dancing has always been a part of my husband and my creative eclectic repertoire. I’ve danced since I was a little girl, and then I fell in love with this Texan. My husband was …

Pathetic, I know, but there it …
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: …
