"having a chat with dad, fishing" art studio for children As many of you know, I turned 50 in January. To tell you that it is surreal is an understatement. To tell you that it sucks the big one is to surrender more power to it than I am willing to, and, really if I am honest- I feel … [Read more...]

"We create pictures with our bodies" This is one of the most beautiful things I have seen in a while- as if the music was not enough- the visual will transport you. enjoy xoxox [youtube id="CvQBUccxBr4"] … [Read more...]
Words for Wednesday – not all in one go, dammit
I am not sure if you have noticed but the very best sign to be is AQUARIUS. We are always told we are beautiful, strong, clever and headed in the right direction. We are never in trouble, we are always lovely and good. The future always shines bright for us. I can spot an Aquarian from 20 paces. … [Read more...]
Weight Watchers 4 Week Update
Four full weeks on Weight Watchers. Reflecting, this is what I see: Week One: I was very eager. Totally onboard.

This is not a resolution.
I know there is a whole anti-New Year's resolution movement happening but this isn't about that. I am fine with resolutions. Being forced to reflect and make plans to be and do better seems OK to me.

I think I am closer to some of my cousins than many of my friends are to their siblings! It's funny because my cousins … [Read more...]

Here's a little about me and how my new gig here started:We weren't getting regular posts at DLS so I thought it was … [Read more...]
The Artist vs The Athlete. Ability or Effort?
A few years ago my son brought home a single C+ on his report card. He had never had a grade lower than B+ in his life and he was devastated. The fact that the grade was in Art didn't seem to matter to him. The C+ was a huge disappointment. I am not devaluing the importance of Art at all but I was … [Read more...]
piss me off- love better
Valentine's Day pisses me off the way going to church can. A dozen long stem roses, a cheesy Hallmark card or communion with God does not absolve you of your week long or year long lousy attitude, taking your life for granted or your partner, children, family or friends, health or good … [Read more...]
