On Tuesday morning about 5AM, I took my first ambulance ride. Here's the set-up. Sunday night: arrive home from a 12 day trip to Alaska. Was amazing. I understand how small we humans are, how insignificant we are, among the natural world. Major perspective shifts in so many ways. Monday Morning Through MidDay: Work up with a sore back. Figured all of the schlepping of very heave luggage over the last 2 weeks might be the cause. Decided yoga might help. Did yoga. Didn't help. …

Imperfect is Perfect
Wanna Start Playing With Mixed Media Painting? It's EASY-PEASY + INCREDIBLY FUN. Here's how I got started. 1. Watch and Learn. My Mixed Media foray began this past January. It was the dead of winter.

They are a …

The Lotus Circle
This past year was life-changing for me. I found a place in my heart that I did not know existed…it was a place for ME. It's a place where magic happens, art is created, colors are brilliant, and life is FULL of joy. And it's also a place of near no-judgment, full expression, and complete honesty.
