How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? Mistakes and failures should really be called lessons. What did you learn? Can you take something awake from needing to start again? Starting over isn’t bad, especially when you’re well equipped. Having gone through a difficult situation, where you know nothing but…

Spring Baby
Currently working on lilacs – using pinks in some areas. I have seen pink meshed with lilac…lilacs. So why not? I love spring, as I was born about the middle of it, and so I will always be enamored by the season. Last year, I painted sakuras. That was fun, and I wanted to try…

On A High Note
I am stunned and in awe over the popularity of The Fray. I had wondered early on why ChatGPT was used to pull up information on my novel, directing the person to my website, and I have my answer. Before I go any further – I am not a fan of AI. But seeing as…
Being Overly Independent
Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to. It really is ok to do things on your own…but there are some matters where you do need help. This phase was hard to let go of because I was certain it sustained me, but it really only kept me in the dark….
The Horizon
Am I walking through a desert…or am I close? How to know? I think it’s a feeling you get. A pattern you broke. An inherited mess you cleaned without harming others. You realize you’re feeling things the way you did when you were free – like when I was 12. Everything was a daydream and…
