I Love Springtime!! Even through the allergy tears, Springtime means all good things. Its longer days of sunshine, blue skies, and white billowy clouds bring a promise of all good things to come. Visions of the beach, picnics, and gathering of friends fill my thoughts with happy memories of years past. Just wearing fewer layers…… Continue Reading
Feelings are a Gateway to Soul Our world mixes feelings with emotions all the time. Yet I truly believe they are very different entities. Feelings are full of the senses, and more than just the basic 5 of touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing. Many say there are at least 9, with scientists thinking there…… Continue Reading
Clean up your act, and see what Happens! The Universe hates a void! Every time we have downsized, or thought we were de-cluttering our life of THINGS, the Universe has opened up new doors to experience! Each time I’ve moved, and there have been many moves in my life, I have cleaned out, donated, sold,…… Continue Reading
Wabi-Sabi has intrigued me for decades! I made this bowl in the ’70’s, when I first heard of Wabi-Sabi. Very little was written about it at the time, since it’s essence was considered a mystery, an enigma, something only understood by the Oriental mind.

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
Messages from the Universe are Everywhere. Ravens are everywhere. They quickly fly past my ‘treehouse’ studio, as I just catch the glint of blue black out of the corner of my eye. They fill the trees, watching as I put out any leftovers, or better yet, a treat of dog biscuits just for them. They…… 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
Moons connect you to the Cycles of Life I see so many ‘groups’ evaluating 2014, and setting feelings for 2015. It doesn’t excite me. It seems more like ‘work’, doesn’t come easy, and certainly isn’t in the flow of ‘play’. I don’t know what I feel for next July, but I do know what I…… Continue Reading
I’ve Always Searched for the Other Side Many loved ones have crossed over in Jan. & Feb. of various years. My brother Jim found Saber their Wolf Dog curled up on his favorite place on the rug, having passed away in his sleep. Saber loved our entire family for many years. Cinnamon the Rabbit, part…… Continue Reading
