I mentioned Zatista in my news section earlier this week because I signed up to be an artist here it is a wonderful place and I have been playing with Art Explorer. It is fun to flip through art, quickly selecting what pulls your eye, it is interesting to learn something about what appeals to [...]

I feel like a hull, a shell of my self. I am sick again, achy, sore throat, headache, blurry vision, stomach ache and congestion. Stress has lodged in my shoulders and neck, building small lumps like little rocks under my skin. I have a deep longing inside myself for something more and to be able [...]

Group International Art Show at the University of Princeton Medical Center

An interesting opportunity may be unraveling. It means taking unpaid time off work every Friday to build my experience in another field. It means working ever Friday and reducing my free time and time to do school work and artwork but it also means a new sort of hands on learning, it means a new [...]

Friday Find. Feeling like I needed some happy something I looked up Happy News. I had heard about it in passing on NPR. I goggled happy news and found a few sites. This one I liked best. I also found the Happy Videos, Product and Living fun. It is nice to read something positive and [...]

And I have been stumbling over my words, writing, rewriting and then deleting posts, struggling to say something, anything, but it [...]

I have decided to showcase an amazing find every Friday. This find is not entirely my own, lovely Penelope was invited to participate and I found the site “everyone needs a rock” through hers and I was so inspired. Hope you will take a visit.

Contentment has crept in, a patience. I am not familiar with this feeling, feeling that life is going as it should that everything is okay.

Feel the wind on your shoulder,
For a minute, all the world can wait,
Let go of your yesterday.
Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing?
And take control,
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you [...]

Sometimes I can drift back easily to a life I barely know the memories will fill all the edges of my mind. I am in the long ranch home with half peeled off seventies wall paper and dirty yellow beige carpet. Teak wood fills his office tall bookcases a large desk facing out over a [...]
