Make yourself at home, and let me know if I can help with anything. You can reach me in multiple ways!
My 69th birthday is Sunday, May 8th. It’s also Mother’s Day, and I am missing the hell out of my mom. She was one smart cookie who taught me some great lessons about living well. NOTE: The image here is a detail from her painting named “Poppies.”
At this stage of life, I try to have as few regrets as possible, but …
This is me – fearless at five. It’s what I aspire to be every day.
This feels like an antidote to the insanity of our world these days.
That’s where I go when things get to people-y.
The word "home" conjures up so many emotions for me, and houses have always been a powerful visual.
I don’t know about you, but I look like the Michelin Tire Man whenever I go outside these days. It’s so freaking cold, even in Florida!! The antidote is a delicious pot of soup, and my favorite, Curried Red Lentil, is easy peasy.

Seeing the world with an artist's eye opens us up to so much beauty.
I rediscovered this quote by Abraham Maslow and paired it with some of my own art. Don’t his words go straight to your heart?
Launching my art and writing website last year, I wanted to not only display my art for sale, but also share my low-budget journey of self-discovery following retirement from twenty year career in management. A bohemian soul with an accountant’s brain, I’ve learned a trick or two about saving money and finally following my bliss. Read how I saved $150 on a lawn mower battery and bought art supplies instead!
To have people who care about me, a roof over my head, food in my fridge, art supplies, and my wits about me (more or less) - these things are such gifts.
While 2020 has clearly been a year of great loss, it has also been a time of discovery.
Do any of you have a hard time accepting a compliment?
My sleep pattern has been seriously disrupted this year. Rather than fight it, I’ve been discovering gems on the Internet that delight, calm, inspire, and spark my imagination. Enjoy!
There are two things I know for sure. The first is that an art and/or writing practice can not only save your sanity, it can also open doors to opportunities you never expected.
So not a selfie person, but this is me – no nonsense, dark humor, cat lovin’, thrifting queen and kindness junkie. Read on if you want to know who you’re spending your time and/or money with!!
