Breathe Deeply! It finally feels like Spring is on its way! Temps reaching into the 40’s, loud piles of snow falling off the roof, the Sun is shining, the mists are rising, and a breath of fresh air tantalizes the body. We’ve lived in Ct for 14 yrs, and for 12 of those winters, I’ve…… Continue Reading
I’m Always Drawn to the Mystery I love investigating, working out the clues, following the mystery, delving deeply into the Unknown. Wabi-Sabi is perfect! Here is something that many historically say that to speak of it, is impossible. It is an aesthetic, a deep knowing, a feeling, a way of life. Some say it’s the…… Continue Reading
We always remember the Good Times! I can remember being so sad when I left teaching High School, even though I was burnt out, and really for my own health sake, had to go. Then there was the move from LaGrange, Il., to the gorgeous woods of Ct. to relocate for my husband’s job. We…… Continue Reading

Everything Alive keeps Shifting & Changing We can never go back, but we certainly are hit with daily realities of all the shifts in our desires, dreams, hopes, and realities. Everything does flow in cycles, but we never end up exactly where we began. It’s more like a spiral cycle of flow, hopefully upwards! The…… Continue Reading
My Art Reflects My Life An ad appeared in the mail that I was immediately drawn to. For one of the last images to paint in Pauline Agnew’s wonderful online painting class, more info here, we could choose from some great Pinterest images she had assembled, or another Old Master’s painting, or our pets, but…… Continue Reading
Standing is the Way There’s an interesting movie from the UK on HBO lately, “About Time”, where the leading man, a lawyer, is in court when the Judge enters. The Bailiff calls “The Court is Up Standing”, and everyone rises! Great line, but truly, standing has been shown to be the best way for your…… Continue Reading
A trip planned a year ago, took us to Jensen’s on the Gulf, a cluster of cute houses right on the beach of Captiva Island. Our ‘Penthouse’ suite was the 3rd floor of the main house, well stocked with all necessities. There would be no room service, so we were left on our own to…… Continue Reading
