Learn how creativity can breathe life into your soul!
The squeeze…here we go! A chance to be honest once again…I knew it would happen, but just not so soon. Understandable…I'm back to work…then to the gym…dinner with hubby…return a call to my best friend…American Idol… …can't find my sketchbook with the drawings intended for post number 12…the one I have on my computer looks …

We might see a glimpse through a dream or an epiphany, but often the promises of God form over a lifetime. Moving forward in darkness of sight…one step at time… is the usual.                                     I do not know what my future holds, but I do know I have never been happier than since I started writing …

"Life is like a series of awakenings from birth until death."          Contemplation is essential for the human soul and yet modern living does not easily lend to this practice.

As a hopeless creative eclectic who cannot seem to say no to "just one more …
As I look towards the New Year and coming decade, the desire to take a personal inventory prevails. My burgeoning artistic projects and passions have become unruly. Like a plant that outgrows pot and climbs up and over the garden wall; runners stretch out in all directions while roots dig deeply firmly into my life's soil. So much to …
I just returned from taking my husband and stepson to the airport. They fly out to his family in Texas while my stepdaughter and I will follow in two days. The house is hushed save a faint ticking from the living room clock. I am alone. Yet in this silence, an irresistible "in between place" …
