Some Good News ... Some NOT So Good ...

Some Ups and Certainly Some Downs ...

The Ingredients That Life Offers Up To All Of Us ...

The doors that have recently closed for me have thrown open new ones.

I have been given time to shift my attention to a new passion of mine.

Conceptual Photography.

Recently, I took Catherine Just's "Begin Deepening"

10 Day Online Course ...

Conceptual Photography is very new to me.

It seems to have come along when I needed it most.

I am easing into this new art form with comfort.

I find it aligns with my love of writing and storytelling

Here Are a Few Examples

Self Portraiture- The Real Me

Storytelling -The New Journey Series

Self Reflection - Only Words

What doors have opened for you lately?

I would love to hear from you ...

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?
