Thursday, July 17th, 2008My friend Denise has started putting her art on Etsy. I love this woman and I love her art!
She’s a watercolor genius and a photographer extraordinaire. The image here is a water color that she scanned and then enhanced digitally.
Here is what she wrote about this piece, entitled “I Broke Free”

Black Gold - My Home Town
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008 Please indulge me while I brag and wax nostalgic. There is a new series on TruTV called Black Gold. It’s all about oil drilling rigs and it’s filmed in my hometown, Midland, TX.
As you may know I had to move to OK last Nov and I’m so homesick. Watching this show was so fun [...]

Proud to be a Chocolate Dork
I found out about Dork Central from Jennifer Louden’s newsletter. It appears that Dork Central is geared toward young women, but I found it to be a marvelous site. I took the “What Kind of Dork Are You?” Quiz and above you can see that I’m a Chocolate Dork. I [...]

I just read this post on Terri’s blog about the strands of potential in each of us, and how life can push that potential back into dark places.
One thing I know for certain, from my own experience, is that if we hiding part of ourselves - any part - or holding back anything, we are [...]
Snapping pictures of life
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008I nearly always carry my camera with me. I am ready to snap anything that might be interesting to share in my blog, or use as an image in art. But, you know what? I hardly ever actually get it out and use it.
Partly because I’m not a good enough photographer to catch things quickly [...]

Creative Clown Art
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008My friend Lotus posted some art that her son did on her blog. He apparently had seen her visiting my blog, so that’s what he drew when he drew his mom at the computer. How cool is this???
His name is Alex. Don’t you just love this? In case you can’t read the small print on [...]

Journaling as a Garbage Disposal
Friday, June 27th, 2008Journaling is a great way to get rid of the garbage in your head. Everyone has some - worries, deadlines, to do lists, “I’m too fat”. This brain garbage keeps us from being able to reach our creative thoughts.
It’s hard to be creative when you have all that chatter going on. And it’s often not [...]
Healing Through Looking at the Past
Thursday, June 26th, 2008“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.”
~Ernest Hemingway
I believe that it’s important to look into our past to find clues that will help us live better today. Finding the causes of some of our behaviors gives us information we need in order to change those behaviors. Understanding how I [...]
