Through the front door
Look what blew in through my front door. Right in the middle of a busy day. Me, rushing around, bringing things in from the car, letting the dogs out, putting away all our shoes, recharging my cell phone… blah, blah blah… all the things you do in the first two minutes of getting home. I was just about to close and lock the front door, when I looked down. Sometimes it just takes a little nod from the universe to set my day right again. Love is all around… xoxo
Thoughts on Health… the Heart, Part 2
“I know in this moment, we are connected, we are one. In our hearts, we are non-physical. I see through the illusion, I see through the separation. I am in the now. I am in love. I am in freedom.

Because truly, folks, there are a million and one blogs out there showing perfectly amazing women doing amazing crafts and everything always turns out perfectly. And looks beautiful. And if there is one thing I know, it’s that my blog ain’t that …
Breathe.
I just came across a collection of poems I had written several years ago, when my kids were babies. This poem is about those intense moments, especially in the earlier years, when you feel that you are spending everything you have, and digging very deeply to find enough energy and time, to care for your kids. I remember those times much more fondly now that they are few and far between. Actually, I miss them. But I still can have moments where I am overwhelmed at everything I need to do, and how important a job it is, being a …
Opening to intuition
“Dynamic Universe” I painted this canvas for a customer who wanted something similar to my original canvas painting “Love Is Everywhere,” but larger. I asked if she had any specific requests for this newer version, but she gave me complete artistic license to follow my gut while painting it. And I’m so very glad she did. I had no idea what was to come, but I trusted and gave it a start. I love how the background took on a richer, more orange hue… and as I worked the many layers into the canvas, I noticed this orange color really …
