Winds from the outer limits at night, torrid rain all day previous … we arrive at the oceans edge – and the sight is of “ghost chairs.” Waves gently fold in and out…. sunset is approaching…. spirits dinner party at the universe edge?
Winter keeps on coming at us…. some days I actually enjoy the crispness and the bite in the air- and others it beats me down. What I am always aware of is the beauty when their is a fresh snow. The clean and purity calms me down – it is such a contrast to the messy world that seems to surround me.
So we stood in the doorway – taking in the beautiful morning – breath deep, enjoy it, slow down and soak it in I was telling myself. I have been thinking about the process of “releasing your worries” – knowing I need the learn some life skills in that area. Wondering how am I to get my arms around that … and the phone rang in the room behind me. Being of a certain nature I feel compelled to answer it so I left my thoughts and went over to get it. On the other end was a good friend. What a joy to reconnect – to catch up and chat for a while about life, love and what is going on. At the end of the visit I am reminding myself – that most of us need to learn to “let go” – as my dear friend Beau so elegantly put – “Learn how to fly.”
Each week I will post a photo of either something that has gone on in my week, OR use a photo that someone else has sent to me. I MIGHT, very likely will, alter the image and possible show before and after… but here is the really fun part. Remember that game about one person starts a sentence and each person adds to it – well, it is going to be like that BUT, each photo will bring a new element/idea and the story will grow and be an ONGOING STORY, dictated by the random images.
My friend sent me a wonderful image today – so the story starts now (in the next posting.)
Feel free to send photos – and feel free to add to the story! There are two ways to add your part: The first is to email your image and or words and I will post them. The second is to email me that you want to add something, and I will enable your email address to be “a contributor.”
It was a new day – I awoke early to a lovely cold wet puppy nose. I opened the door and was astounded by the possibilities that a new day could bring in every sense I could think of. Here was the beginning of creating myself, TODAY – not yesterday, possibly a place to build on tomorrow. I stood in the doorway with my (already) faithful friend who constantly showed me joy each day in just being herself. Free to run, free to explore, free roam. I knew that she had joined me in my everyday life to help remember that joy IS all around. …. and so the day began.

Welcome. This is my first blog – so here we go!
Well here it is – I finally re-designed my website, and decided it was time to create a Blog as well! I am planing on it being my thoughts about creativity, art and life as it all rolls by me at what seems to be breakneck speed.
