Letters Across The Miles ...

Dear Jennifer,

I am writing to you with a heavy heart after the passing of my brother just five short weeks ago. It has been the saddest weeks of our lives. He was an amazing Husband, Father, Son and Brother. One who will be dearly missed. Each day we awake hoping for a different reality, a wish that will never come.

The outpour of love from family and friends has been overwhelmingly generous. I wish my brother would have known how many peoples lives he touched. We will keep his memory alive each day through the three amazing boys he gave to us.

A future we never saw coming, strength we hope to gain in time.

This sunset photo was taken last weekend while I visited Rhode Island, it was a great way to bring me back to the beauty of nature.

I look forward to hearing back from you!

Much Love,

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?
