Starting a new week

It's been such a nice Easter, I actually had some time to do a little art on eggs. I do not get much time to just do art for art's sake these days. It's a very peaceful, mindful practice. I hope you had a lovely holiday. One thing I am going…

This Moment – It’s all we have now

Space to be

It's a busy life, but I try to carve out a little time each week for just me and a little open space.  Whether its a park or a nature preserve I need a little time to myself.  This is so essential to me.  When I don't get it I start to wind…

Good Friends

We had a wonderful last minute dinner tonight with good friends. Amongst margaritas & yummy food we caught up on the last few months. These are the type of friends that you may be 'too busy' to catch up with for a few months, but that…
