First snow

Yep, you heard it heard first (or not). Snow! We’ve got your snow. Come and get it. There. We had snow. Can we jump to springtime now? Can’t blame me for trying. I’m already done with the cold. Maybe I’d the snow didn’t also bring the cold, I might be better with it. Or maybe … Continue reading First snow

Thanksgiving 2023

My son beat the storm in before the roads got snowy and icy. Very grateful for that. Nice family gathering. Save for the fact that I had to find a turkey at the last moment. But I learned that next time I can cook a whole turkey breast from frozen in my pressure cooker. You … Continue reading Thanksgiving 2023

Almost forgot

I got wrapped up in getting ready for Thanksgiving and almost forgot. Yep, it’s been a day. Happy Thanksgiving to my US readers. Grateful to all of you who read my blog, no matter where in the world you are. Cheers!

To myself

I’ve been designing tonight. I shouldn’t have. I should have been painting as I’m supposed to. Or any of the other things I needed to be doing. But no! I sit down and start tinkering with things. It all starts off with, “Oh, I just need to go look at that real quickly.” That grows … Continue reading To myself

The story has a title

Another day that hasn’t gone as expected. I really need to stop doing that. I saw early in the day that what I had planned wasn’t going to happen in any way, so I shifted. It did allow me to get a lot of writing done. I also wrote the sales copy for Siva’s story. … Continue reading The story has a title

Today has not been helping

I’ve been off today. I had plans for my day, but none of that has happened. I did get other things done in its place, and they were items that needed crossed off my to do list, but not what I had planned. Guess I should have checked my intentions first, right? I think it … Continue reading Today has not been helping

Intention and expectation

I’ve often heard that one should set their intention and release how that intention comes into being. There’s also another saying that one should release all expectations. I guess I’ve heard them, but never really understood them until I got a lesson today. As I was getting ready for the show this morning, I said … Continue reading Intention and expectation

Show tomorrow

I am set up for the Jerome Music Booster show tomorrow. That doesn’t mean I’m ready. I thought I might try to get a few of my paintings down there for it too, but they require some work. I’ll see what I can get done in the morning. So, for now, I’m keeping this light. … Continue reading Show tomorrow

Beyond a tree falling in the forest

Everything in the microcosm reflects in the macrocosm. I’m pretty sure of this theory. Sometimes it’s kind of fun to stop and think about space and how big it really is. No, really. Space is bigger than you can image. But it’s fun to try to comprehend. Especially when I’m here trying to do something … Continue reading Beyond a tree falling in the forest

Don’t look at the mind weeds

Pretend they aren’t there. I’m trying to give myself a pep talk tonight. I wish it was working. I painted and when I finished, I absolutely hated the painting. I’m going to have to dissect why I feel that way, but for the moment the fact I hate it is enough. It’s amazing that I … Continue reading Don’t look at the mind weeds
