A New Normal ...

A NEW NORMAL ...

This year has been much different than I thought it would be when I wrote my first post back in January. 

First, Corona Virus: Causing life changing lockdowns and many deaths world wide. 

Times are improving with different phases allowing more businesses to open, as we move into a new normal wearing face masks and speaking through plexiglass.

Secondly, the Death of George Floyd, a black man who died in Minneapolis while a white police officer knelt on his neck resulting in his death.

Causing demonstrations and riots in many states.

If we think we have done enough over the years we have not. It is never enough to make us all feel as one. I am looking into how I can be more visible, more involved and to make a small difference in this world of ours.

If we all do our part, there will be a better tomorrow.

How are you in your corner of the world? 
I would love to hear from you. 

I am hoping well and safe. 


The photo above is what has saved me. 
Nature. 
All we need to do is open our eyes to the beauty in our own backyard.

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
