Is it just me or are the days flying by and not getting much done.  I’ve been in a strange place. I feel like I’m on the cusp of something bigger than myself  and my still small voice is urging me to do some real thinking and getting a strong backbone for the movement ahead.  I’ve…

After getting ready for my solo show and then teaching for a week, I’m drained.  In the back of my mind, I’ve been wondering, “what’s next?”.  I’ve been doing some mandalas and deep breathing for meditation and just to quiet the “monkey chatter”.  I’ve been avoiding eating really good food and just eating for quick…

As you probably know it doesn’t rain much in the Sonoran Desert where I live in Arizona.  It’s very hot in the summer but lovely in the winter.  I live on the upside of the McDowell Mountains.  I also live in the upside of my heart.  Ever since I decided to not listen to old…

I watched Joyce Meyer  this morning and she talked about being relentless in going forward in your journey.  I know that faith in your dream can be elusive sometimes but not impossible because of you and me  taking action. It may take years and years but the lessons about ourselves and others are invaluable.  It isn’t…

You know the song “Girls just wanna have fun”?  That is what my daughter and I want to do.  She’s from Minneapolis and here in Sunny Arizona for a week.  We are pretty quiet gals and don’t hardly drink so what to do?  She’s been very busy with her career, remodeling her upstairs with her…

I have many diverse thoughts doing painting.  I can either  paint what I want to paint or what galleries want and sometimes it is a mixture of both.  But  as an abstract artist I have more leeway.  I experiment as much as I can within my health boundries or money boundries.  I’ve covered over some paintings that I…

On my previous blog, “Where are we Going?” I talked about dropping out for a while and not spending time  “doing social media”.   A facebook friend Tamara Ann Burgh wrote, “how did you feel dropping out? Relieved? Negligent? Productive artistically? How do you feel about coming back?”.  These are great questions,Tamara,and I did feel relieved.  The…

It’s easy to get confused with all the chatter of social media.   That’s why I’ve dropped out basically for over a month.  Being in front of the computer drains my energy and my creativity.  I’m now going to take it easy for a while and let the Spirit move me into  doing more art which makes me…

Do you remember the song (don’t know the title) but the words are “First gear, second gear. third gear, fourth gear to win the race”?  This applies to my friend Renee Phillips who I’ve never met in person.  I’ve known her for a few years but all of a sudden (maybe not so sudden) she has gotten…

Isn’t it funny how you go working  along (for me painting and marketing) and then  you come to a turn in the road and don’t know which way to go.  That is a transition.  There’s a stop sign there at the crossroad to give you a breathing space before you start up and make a…
