My Day that Spells Love
This is an underpainting. It is just the beginning. I am at the beginning, all the time. Starting fresh each day. Relearning some of the things I have learned before. Refocusing on thoughts I like to keep at the front of my mind. What we are mindful of guides who we are becoming. What are … Continue reading
Exactly Where I Want to Be
In the last month I have started a blog on Blogger knowing that, in time, I would be exporting to WordPress. I am so happy I did. This is all so much better. You will see, at times, I am not the most technical person. I have learned much by claiming Google as my friend, … Continue reading
A Nice Surprise
I can promise you quirky. I can’t promise you standard. I can promise that some days my blog will speak in code, not on purpose, it is just what comes naturally to me. I write in letters the way a songwriter composes his art. You will find meaning on the surface and meaning underneath, if you … Continue reading
The Adventure is Yours
Sometimes life moves fast. Slow down. Slow down, if you can. Doesn’t seem to always be a choice, but maybe it is. Maybe it is in our control what we say yes to. What are your top ten things to accomplish today? Are they work or relationship related? Sometimes the best thing is to just … Continue reading
That is What You are Here For
My apologies for the delays in the blog. Sometimes life just happens, it’s beautiful that way. I’ve been thinking of the blog, though, about how happy I am to have started one and the gratitude I feel toward the people who are listening to me. I like to be listened to – it’s a basic … Continue reading
A Beautiful Way to Live
The ability to rest is a good one. How many are running too hard, through life? I know I was. I wanted to rest, just didn’t feel I had a life that supported it. In the last year, I have learned to rest, someone taught me, and for that I am grateful. Someone taught me … Continue reading
Love Life
Yesterday, I referenced a Halloween costume my daughter, Sarah, had been inspired to create from having seen The Real Statues, in Ashland, Oregon. When standing there in the presence of the statues, who wouldn’t want to be one, too. Then, you may start looking closer and wondering how you’re going to get bronze all over … Continue reading
The Light Surely Shines
A year ago, I was in Ashland, Oregon. Highly recommending visiting this town, if you are over that way. It is a beautiful sunlit town nestled in kind of a valley. The hills to one side look like velvet in the afternoon light. The town is extraordinary. It is home of an ongoing Shakespeare Festival. … Continue reading
A Rainstorm is Best Shared
There are just some times in life, when you feel the warm embrace. I’m going to write about that feeling and I have a painting with that title I will share. Warm embrace, words in an Adele song. Does everyone know Adele? Google her if you don’t and have a listen to some of her work … Continue reading
The Art of Real Estate Math
The art of real estate math is real to me, today. I believe part of the art of life is creating balance and that even within the life of an artist life need not be all about art. I’m embracing this. There is a balance I like in nurturing my business side, the complexities of … Continue reading
