It's Christmas Time ...

Here are the Two Versions of Christmas Cards Sent Out This Year ...

They were both photographed last year, during a get-away trip with my Mom. They were taken in Woodstock, NH ... It was a Winter Wonderland during our entire weekend stay ...

The first was taken driving out of a Ski Resort through the car windshield. The images in the background are of ice sculptures. At times, while I photograph, I "try" things and hope for the best - This was one of them!

The second being of The Wilderness Inn in Woodstock, NH. The Innkeepers were delightful, the accommodations were cozy and the food was amazing!

Year End, Has always been a time of reflecting on the past months - What have I done? What can I improve on in the upcoming year? What would I like to do in 2015? I would love to hear your answers to these questions ...

Merry Christmas & A Happy Holiday Season To All ...

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?
