Recently I was reading another blog (and that is another subject for another post), and came across a reference from Twyla Tharp’s wonderful and inspiring book, The Creative Habit. I am devouring the book a second time. Every morning, before my walk, I sit down with a cup of coffee and Twyla. I write in [...]

Not Quitting
Posted in personal journal, Ruminating, Seasons on February 1, 2011 | 7 Comments »
I am not quitting my blog. I am slow as this turtle in getting around and answering all the wonderful comments you have left over the last week. I will post more on why and the changes I want to make as well as the reasons for debating the idea in the first place. When [...]

In a few days I will be closing down my blog. My reasons for doing this are personal. I have so greatly appreciated all the friendship as well as the heartfelt and wonderful comments that people have shared here with such dedication for a very long time. I will miss all of you. I have [...]
A Remembrance

This morning my sweet kitty, Lauren passed away. She had been ailing for the last several months with renal failure. I feel her loss so deeply and want to remember her in this space, to pay tribute to her life and her remarkable presence in our lives. I adopted her from the animal shelter five [...]

We are taking care of little Lincoln while his mommy is on a business trip until Thursday. What a great holiday we had with family and so many great memories. I will be back in the new year when the house is quiet and my thoughts more focused. Jeanette will be glad to get back [...]
Glowing Santas
Posted in Decorative, Places, Seasons on December 22, 2010 | 7 Comments »
One of the things I love about living in Portland, Oregon besides the rain and Mt Hood is the quirky nature of the people who live here. Anything goes. A man decided to start collecting these Santas through ebay and other sources over the internet and it became an obsession, so he decided to make [...]
A Hug Arrived

The gift arrived this afternoon from Jude. What a thrill to actually see and touch her creation. There is so much of her magical, generous, intelligent, and loving spirit in this piece. I have watched Jude for a long time create these pieces, but to actually be able to hold and see her work, firsthand, [...]
The Sustenance of Nature

I have been all over the map it seems in the last month. Traveling is part of my life on a regular basis, endless road trips real and imagined. This photo was taken coming back from Northern California in an area that has large numbers of Roosevelt elk. I never tiring of viewing them so [...]
Another World

In an empty storefront early this evening, my husband and I looked in and saw this other worldly vision. Could I freeze this moment in time just to capture the essence of this mood? It was both ethereal and haunting. I am still waiting for the story to unfold. There has to be a story [...]
Holiday Decorating
Posted in Decorative, Seasons on December 13, 2010 | 20 Comments »
I just returned to Portland at midnight on Friday and have spent the last two days trying to catch up with some decorating. Every year I buy one new hand-crafted ornament from someone local, and this year I purchased one from Elaine whose studio was open this weekend. I barely made it over there in [...]
