Treasures of the Past ...

Whenever I come across pictures like this - I seem to have so many questions like, Who's camera was that? What is inside of that old trunk? Where was this picture taken? What type of house did these people live in?  What did they do for a living? What gives you the desire to ask questions like these? An old house? An old barn? I would love to hear your stories ...

    The most interesting for me are the archeological sites. I always think of people who might have lived there, and so many questions come to my mind - were they happy, how did they live, how did they die, so many questions! The past is so intriguing, I wish I could find that time machine already! :))

    Sonja - This is EXACTLY how I feel - I am always wondering, Was this family happy? Did they have a good marriage? Did they laugh a lot? We are so alike - A bit too much alike - If there is such a thing - But I love it!

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?

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...
