Dear One ~

This is the start of a new Studio Tuesday. Over the course of months (maybe years), with planning and determination, I have developed a schedule of activities that gives me a sense of BALANCE in wearing all my different hats. My routine looks something like this:

• Sunday - REST/ Family Day
• Monday - Household maintenance & Me Day
• Tuesday - Sacred Studio Time
• Wednesday - Grandchildren Day
• Thursday - Desk work / Studio Time
• Friday - Play-dates / Parents Time / misc.
• Saturday - US Day / Date night

This little 'schedule' helps me to set some boundaries on my time and to keep me focused on moving my dreams forward. Every day starts with 'Morning Pages' which have become the spiritual practice that centers my mind, body, and spirit with gratitude and understanding of my current position on the path.

Since I have been away from the studio for a while, getting the rhythm and momentum going is always a little challenge. My plan of attack is to focus on the works in progress and prioritize the stages of completion and deadlines due. Then I will turn on my machine and doodle with some practice stitches until the familiar becomes known, the Muse shows up, and the magic begins.

Until next time ~

Colorful Art Lifts the Spirit!

Dear One, It's Spring! and this blog is getting a make over. It's probably a mental reboot on my part, but rather than writing in long 'chapters', it will take the form of journal entries in an effort to share with you what is working (or not) on this artistic path that I am compelled to take. You may find that we have much more in common in our pursuit of becoming the best that we can be. Please ...

Dear One ~ My days are more reflective then productive lately. I am sensing the Spiritual side of nature in this early Spring season that appears to be in full bloom. We walk around enjoying the summer-like weather, full of skepticism that this could possibly be the real thing and fearing that another snow fall is just around the corner. It is March, after all! Weather records are being broken all across ...

Dear One- Today found me participating in a very difficult event - - - the funeral of a twelve year old boy. How can we make sense of a life that is ended so abruptly and without warning? I just don't know. Jacob was the first grandchild of our Florida friends, Mike and Mary Ann. Although I didn't know him personnally, from all that I have observed, he was a wonderful kid. From the cards and posters it is evident ...

Dear One ~ Even tho my journey appears to be about the ART, that isn't always the case. Lately, for every hour that I spend at my sewing machine or design wall, I seem to be spending three at the computer taking care of details. Once a LoveLight© is completed, it then needs to be labeled, photographed, and inventoried on the computer. I am learning that this is the best time to write an artist statement ...
