The little mermaids that swam out of my pen this morning in my morning Doodle Journal Session provided me with some gentle wisdom I thought I’d share with you today. They told me that “sometimes floating and relaxing is the best way to move forward.” So that’s what I’m going to do today: float through … Continue reading Floating
Good morning! Happy Sunday Morning Coffee to you. As I write this, it’s Saturday morning and I’m eagerly awaiting tomorrow morning, when I can chill with my coffee and relax my brain. But not today. Today, I’m in Workshop Mode. And I’m glad. I’ve not painted since October and I’ve got a Painting … Continue reading It’s a Wonderful Life
Last night, I had what I call one of my “adventure dreams.” Adventure dreams are usually linear and make sort of sense and are usually kind of wild. My novel, Sky Dancers, began as one of these dreams. This one was a crazy fun one, although I doubt I’ll turn it into a novel. Mr. … Continue reading Saucy Dames Boot Camp
I’m in Eureka, visiting my Sonshine and friends. Drove up from Healdsburg on Monday. And I’m going home on Monday. Missing home and Mr. Al, but enjoying being back in Eureka, behind the redwood curtain. Great visits. Great conversations as I catch up. Makes me realize how precious friendships are. I want to manifest a … Continue reading The Scarlett O’Hara Moment
Tomorrow (Sunday) we initiates create our own graduation ceremony. Today was one final teaching…three sessions gifted to us to teach to others by three graduates. After nine months of learning and painting solo, it was joyously refreshing to paint next to others. We have now ended our student phase. Tomorrow we step onto the teacher … Continue reading Journey’s End
Ever since I turned in my final project to become a certified Intentional Creativity coach and teacher, I feel I’ve been just ghosting around. ‘Tis the season, I suppose. I still get things done, but what should have taken me two hours, takes all day. I’ve lost my focus and have been project hopping. My … Continue reading Coasting
It’s storming here in the Pacific Northwest. Lots of gusts with spitting rain. The creek is high…washed away all the remains of the downed tree that wrecked havoc last winter. This is a big storm…my friend in Portland and friends in Eureka are also experiencing it, too. Makes me glad we aren’t at the coast. … Continue reading Winds of Change
Mr. Al and I are over in Spokane for my niece’s wedding. We had a great time. Weddings are such happy occasions. And this one reminds me that my brother is a loving and conscientious father who knows his children well, rather than the silly goofball who, when we talk, always manages to have me … Continue reading Short and Sweet
We went to the State Fair this past week. I love the fair. I love the animals, especially the draft horses, although, I got to know the goats and they’re pretty darned adorable. And the piglets My life is a pretty open book and I share a lot of it (even those bits I’m not … Continue reading Drawing A Line
It is raining today, and not the warm summer-kind-of-rain, although it’s not really cold, either. But it’s one of those rains that foretells of sweaters and fire sides and wool socks and hearty soups. The cats are a tad annoyed. They wanted to go prowling today. I’m sure they will have their opportunities during Indian … Continue reading Bringing It Home
