This week and next I will have my annual scans. I’ve learned to be real about them, but not focus and worry about them. I’ve also learned not to carry or hold worry about the worry that other people bring with them to my situation when I let them know it’s scan time. Because if […]

A Bouquet of Acceptance

A Bouquet of Acceptance

Like Frida Khalo, I feel I do my best art work when I’m in pain and in bed. Whether that’s releasing emotional or physical pain, the detail and energy of that pain goes into the strokes and movement of the lines, ink, and spreading of the lead. My art and the strokes are where I […]

Trusting Tuesday

Trusting Tuesday

I’ve tried to take the high rode for myself by responding with a smile when someone says something hurtful.

Consistency En Casa

We start to pull out of the garage, “Look in the trunk.” he says. “I think you left something there.” “I don’t think so I say.” He says, “just go look, you did.” I open the trunk.

The Other Mother

The Other Mother

Happy Mother’s Day! And to women who are not traditional mothers on Mother’s Day in the way society defines or judges it, I want to wish you a great day. We  have found  other ways to adapt or cope to show our maternal love. And our love and giving is often spread among many people, […]
