Welcome to Whimsical Wednesday ...


Each week when I think of Whimsical Wednesday's post, I search for the "true" vision that I have in my mind. I had a picture with Mermaids, Fairies or Unicorns - This painting included them all! I also loved the moon on one side and the sunrise on the other. The splash of the unicorns running, the mermaid looking on, and the waves crashing over. On some days, I like to think "Magic" does happen. When was the last time you witnessed a magical moment?

    Thanks so much, csweet ... I thought the same thing ... The magical world lets us dream and escape for a while ... Great hearing from you!

    Magical moments happen all the time, but sometimes I'm not seeing because my mind is busy with other things.
    Later on, upon reflection, I might realize magic had happened, but that would always be after the fact.

    This summer my 14 year old grandson and I were out in the ocean with a boogie board.
    Max was the' watcher' and I was the' rider' : * Magical Moment *

    Many times I got tossed around, legs flying in the air, sand and salt water filling my nose, ears, eyes : * Reality *

    I had no concern what-so-ever what anyone thought about an adult acting like a kid : * Magical Moment *

    And then there were those perfect waves where I rode them the whole way up the beach with Max body surfing right beside me : * Magical Moment *

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...

Letters Across The Miles

LETTERS ACROSS THE MILES  Dear Jennifer, I am quite excited to be sharing this journey of "Old Fashioned Letter Writing" (online) with you ... It is a long lost personal touch that needs to be revisited. We live in a world of Tweets, IMs & text messages - Time to Get Back to Basics! I wanted to touch upon your recent thoughts on "Perfection". I, too, find myself procrastinating over starting new projects. The fear I will not be able to finish what I start. My second thought is failing myself for not going the distance. I was amazed with a few quick chats and we were out of the gate running with this new column - and new additions to our blogs, "Letters Across the Miles". I think this is the "Push" that we both needed to jump right in! Funny, how you also mentioned how our grade school teachers would ask us to "Show Them Our Work" when it came to Math problems ...and weaving this theme into real life. Can yo...
