Happy New Year, Everyone ...


Another Year is Behind Us ... 

If I look over this past year ...

I ...
 Worked at a few new companies 
Made some great new friends
 Expanded my writing, poetry and photography
 Learned so much about family and myself 
Was invited to be on a talk radio show reading my original poetry
 Took a few wonderful online creative courses
 Grateful for a few local getaways 
Enjoyed a reunion with my first cousins 
 Created some new memories
Celebrated my Mom's 70th Birthday All Together in Maine
and
 Experienced Our Deepest Loss

All of these events have made me more mindful of what really matters ... 

I have acquired a better understanding of "Letting Go" & "Acceptance" ... 

Wishing my Family & Friends All the Best In the New Year!

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?
