Vacation

When I think of vacations immediately thoughts of suitcases and planes appear in my mind. Today I experienced a different type of vacation. The last ten days have been out of the norm for me due to company, storms, and travel. I arrived home from NY this afternoon and my wires were crossed and my . . . → Read More: Vacation

Trying IS Trying

Trying anything new is always trying. I'm deep into my illustrating project and I'm visiting places I've been before. The whole progression was a learning curve. First I designed my characters. Then I did a storyboard of each page. Those parts went fairly well. Next I had to find out the specifications and format I . . . → Read More: Trying IS Trying

What’s My Hurry?

Read this first:

Down In The Valley

My breath was knocked out of me at Jean Do's plight because I absolutely cannot imagine my brain being alive and not being able to do what I'm doing now – communicating my thoughts and words to you. But he wrote a whole book AFTER this happened to . . . → Read More: What’s My Hurry?

I Just Couldn’t Help It

This weekend I spent a lot of time cuddled up reading, eating and drinking – not always the best of stuff either. Today I couldn’t wait to get to fit club.

I'll just go to fit club and it'll probably be back on when I get home. I switched gear and . . . → Read More: Tools

Why I Do What I Do

I have been practicing Bikram yoga for two and a half years now. People often ask me why Bikram, as opposed to other types of yoga. I always say I do Bikram for medicinal reasons. The medicinal reasons are too many to go into during most of these conversations, but I always wish I could . . . → Read More: Why I Do What I Do

Studying Trees

Yes. A day of studying trees. Today while working on my illustrating project it became apparent, as my focus shifted from my main characters to the backgrounds, there are a lot of trees involved. I needed to explore tree parts and shadows. I also think each picture is going be quite small, so I needed . . . → Read More: Studying Trees

What? LIVE With An Unsolved Problem?

What? Live with an unsolved problem? Really Lord? There's peace in that?

That was my reaction to my morning reading this morning. I'm taking a second trip through Melody Beattie's More The Language of Letting Go. This morning that concept was just flung across the page, striking me, and even enraging me a little. Isn't . . . → Read More: What? LIVE With An Unsolved Problem?
