April Love -- Day Thirteen ...



Dear Senses,
What would I do without you? Not being able to touch someone. Not to feel a gentle breeze. Not to hear the music I love. Not to see the ocean. Not to know what it smells like after a rainstorm. I realize you do not miss what you never had, but life would not be as fulfilling. The beauty in nature. Sunrises. Sunsets. To enjoy holding a newborn. Giving our pets attention. The hug from another human being. A gentle kiss. A soft blanket. Seeing a rainbow. Hearing a child laugh. Fresh snow. Crispy Autumn leaves. The chill in the air. Having a sixth sense. Just knowing things are going to happen before they do. I feel I have always had this. I consider it a gift. It never steers me wrong. I am grateful for all of these senses. All of them combined makes the world more colorful, beautiful and inviting.

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?
