Inspiration Import - About the Journey

I came across a few blog posts I never got around to posting for some odd reason.

This one is a mix of very simple water colours that helped me wile away the hours .I haven’t returned to art as yet, but when I look at the end products, I feel I will one day.

All the art supplies are where I left them, beckoning me and teasing me as though they are challenging me to delve into those…

The scarf remains my reminder of all that goodness the world has to offer if you take a moment to look around and feel that sweetness.

Right before my birthday this year, I received a surprise gift in the mail. It originated in South Africa, but was posted in Ottawa by Mike Scott who was there for an Animation Conference. Originally his mother had bought it in the UK and out of the blue, decided I was to be its owner. At the time of its arrival, I was feeling a bit lonely, so it became more than a random, lovely gift. It became…

My Not so Secret Secret

I should have known in grade one when I mispelled 5/10 words on my spelling test and was shellacked by the teacher. (Mrs. Smith if you’re still alive and reading this, I still cringe at your name and you’re so lucky my big brother didn’t punch you in the nose for humiliating me in front of my classmates.)

Then I should have known when I was fired from a job in the garment industry for reversing…

A Glimpse at Crystal Ball Persuasion

Head on over to my sister blog to read an excerpt of Crystal Ball Persuasion. It won’t take long, as it is a short sampling. 🙂

I completed and published CRYSTAL BALL PERSUASION, on my birthday, September 18th – a story of a Gypsy who found herself at odds with her life and as a result, acted on a years old premonition as soon as it became possible. Here is an excerpt from the beginning of…

A Glimpse at Crystal Ball Persuasion

I completed and published CRYSTAL BALL PERSUASION, on my birthday, September 18th – a story of a Gypsy who found herself at odds with her life and as a result, acted on a years old premonition as soon as it became possible. Here is an excerpt from the beginning of Chapter 4.

Why chapter 4, you may ask. Well, at the time of publishing, I had read and re-read the book so many times that I lost…

When I think of a rocking chair, it brings to mind babies and old people. I am neither but recently found myself purchasing an outdoor rocker just the same. I had wanted one of those swings that are covered and sit on the lawn, but between the price and the fact that I have always been a mosquito buffet magnet, I settled for one that can sit on my raised patio.

Now that the good weather is here,…

Self-affirmation can come from any number of subjects. I chose one that had to do with love.

Self-affirmation can come from any number of subjects. I chose one that had to do with love. My decision (to purchase a pendant I didn’t need) was based on a few different factors.

Self love inspires self confidence. Although I have a healthy self-esteem, I do wobble sometimes in the confidence department. I suppose most humans do.

I haven’t bought anything I didn’t need for quite some time. I…
