Colorful Collage Catch-Up!

Hoping Everyone Had an Enjoyable Spring & Summer!

What Have You Seen? Where Have You Been?

I Would Love To Hear All About Your Good Weather Experiences!

I realize life is a series of ups and downs.

I have tried to ride the wave when I can fit in fifteen minutes here and there to appreciate the small moments in life.

My Guilty Pleasures Include:

Backyard Bunnies, Flowers, Meeting the Author - Riley Sager, enjoying the fur kids, catching up with the best parents ever, driving halfway to meet a cousin who is more like a real sister for lunch, having a quick coffee with a wonderful friend, visiting an ocean side cove for a tasty lobster roll and a quick stop at the local pond

Enjoy the last days of Summer!

I am welcoming in Fall with open arms, as I do each 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?
