Come on, come on get healthy!
Holy goodness, I just realized I haven’t blogged since the first week of March. Lame. No excuse. I’m just totally busy with life. So many things are going through my mind-I’ve been dreaming about the future, worrying, stressing and trying to pull out my usual positive attitude which is almost always right there in my [...]
My newest painting ala Flora Bowley style
I am in the fifth and final week of Flora Blowley’s first online painting course, Bloom True. I have wished for and anticipated this class for many months and I was not disappointed. It was so well thought out, organized and very professionally done with videos of her painting and demonstrating the techniques every week. [...]
Romantic, Haunting Florence.
I just discovered Florence Welch of (The Machine) and after spending a few hours playing her music and watching her sing on YouTube, I’m officially loving her. She is amazing. She has the style and demeanor of a Pre-Raphaelite woman or Venus on the Half Shell with pipes like Grace Slick-only more haunting. Oh my. [...]
Ten years is all you need.
I have a friend who is just a few years older than me and she and I were talking about our dreams and what we’d like to do with this second half (or 1/3) of our life now that our kids are older. She expressed a little bit of angst at the thought that she might [...]
Winter is a time for comfort…
These are a few things I found this week that I feel are really wonderful. Each of these items are something I’d love to have. As far as the floral clogs go, well, I just had to order myself a pair that look just like the photo below. And, they were on clearance! This is [...]
My word for 2012
It seems to be a trend over the last few years to choose a guiding word for the new year. A singleton resolution, so to speak. Last year my word was ‘undaunted’ and to commemorate it I purchased a sterling silver ring with UNDAUNTED engraved on it. (Midway through the year I accidently lost it, but that [...]
Why do I miss it so?
I stumbled upon this tonight and when I watched it my heart began to ache. I love New York so much. I have visited numerous times and still, I have so much yet to see and do. I have to get back. It’s calling me. ——————— Some folks like to get away, take a holiday [...]
Tis’ the season…for knitting…
It’s happening again. A few days ago I was in the basement organizing my clutter and I came across my insane stash of yarn. Now the reason it’s insane is because I’m not actually a knitter- and someone who’s not really a knitter should not have this much yarn. However, I have enjoyed the process [...]
The Woods and Gratitude
“Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God.” –George Washington Carver This morning, Xander and I went for what’s becoming our regular morning walk at the St. Francis Woods. Today was particularily [...]
What lies beyond the sash
“At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door and open the love-window. The moon won’t use the door, only the window.” ~Rumi There is just something about windows with a lace curtain that sets my heart all aflutter. I [...]
