Thinking - Maine!


This month reminds me of Maine ~ Visiting with my folks every Summer ~ Seeing the ocean after a long Winter in New England ~ Smelling the ocean air ~ Feeling the soft sand on my feet ~ Sitting in a beach chair with a wonderful book ~ Such great memories of growing up visiting the shore ~ This is why I posted this picture I took on our way to Boothbay Harbor in Maine ~ I think this photo speaks "Maine" ~ Well, at least to me it does - LOL

  3. Thank you so much, Sonja ~ I think becoming friends with you has really brightened my days ~ It seems we can connect on so many levels ~ Girlfriends are great for that ~ Yes, The beach has always been a special place for me ~ My Dad loved the beach and I have fond memories throughout my life of the beach ~ Wish I could see it more ~ We live far away from the ocean now, so heading to Maine is real treat! Hoping your vacation is closer than you think - Wear your swimsuit in the shower, until then - LOL

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...

All about Hope ...

I thought this image was appropriate for how I am feeling today. I seemed to have gotten a second wind with being creative this year. I am excited to tell you about my new treasure in writing. It is a newfound website (that I found in a column in Oprah's Nov 2011 magazine) called 750Words.com. This site follows the steps of Julia Cameron's The Artists Way. It helps you work towards a better writing style. It encourages you to write 750 words a day. This is approximately 3 typewritten pages of words. I am finding it easier to pick a theme (from Patti Digh's LIFE IS A VERB book - Thanks, Patti!) to help create daily themes. Please cheer me on to continue this daily ritual.  Have you started a new routine that you would like to share?
