As some of you already know, a few weeks ago John and I made the very difficult decision to say good-bye to one of our beloved kitties, Frankie. That decision is never an easy one for anyone to make, but for those of us who are “pet people,” the decision is nothing less than emotionally…
Yesterday, I typed up a quick post on money, simply because that’s what was on my mind and I needed a blog topic. Today, I’ll continue that trend, because it’s still on my mind. I know my money stories don’t serve me, but I’m not sure how to tell new money stories. Actually, I know…
You probably can’t tell, but I love to write. Not the kind of writing I’ve been doing the past few days here on my blog, but the kind of writing that takes me deep into myself and the subject. I confess: I have totally been just writing to fill my commitment to blog each day…
Yesterday, I read a touching blog post written by a young woman about her mother. It affected me deeply. For the past 30+ hours, I’ve been lost in memories of my own mother. She transitioned a few years ago. For the most part, I’ve adjusted to not having her in my daily life, but some days it really gets…
Just a quick reminder — It’s not too late to enter the FABULOUS giveaway at Mixed Media May! The deadline has been extended until Saturday, 30 June!
CREATE lasted from Wednesday, 30 May, through Sunday, 03 June (I got there Tuesday night so I’d be well rested for the classes, and to have time to hang out with Carol and get to know her a bit). I’m just now blogging about it because there was no time during the retreat and, with…
They say the only constant is CHANGE, and boy is that true of my life! In a little over five years, I’ve lived in three different cities, set myself up in the art business, started and stopped podcasting, and curated Mixed Media May. I’ve been to my first art retreat (more details to come about…
I know it’s been a few weeks since I updated my blog … And I know I was going to participate in the May Flower Challenge … Would you believe I just got busy? I have to admit — as much fun as it was, Mixed Media May took a lot of my time this month. Because it’s…
Yesterday, I spent part of the day on Olvera Street taking pictures. I took tons of pictures — I’ll share more of my pictures after I go through them all, but I wanted to share my flower picture (for yesterday!) before too much more of the day go away from me. I don’t know what…
I took a photography composition class this afternoon in Los Angeles. After the lecture, we took a few minutes to take some pictures for the instructor to review. He didn’t love this picture as it was taken, but I cropped it to show the flowers better. I took this at his doorstep. Even though I…
