Strolling through the pathway in a new city I cherished the quiet. How can this full breath of autumn leaves, dirt, and scents of new flowers exist in a city of this size? My sense of time is altered as I pass friends, families, and school aged youth sitting on the grass to enjoy thisContinue reading “Tokyo Diaries: Return of a Lover”

Living More Than Once
The weekend is here and I’m having trouble focusing today. I don’t really feel like doing anything but my blog and new YouTube channel for my other business is calling my name. Most of all, I’m not feeling very inspired. What do I do when I’m not feeling the itch of my pen? I relyContinue reading “Living More Than Once”
Update On My Journey After Quitting My 9 to 5
It’s been a few weeks since I quit my 9 to 5 to focus on growing my art and to be honest, I don’t know how I feel right now. The excitement of taking action on making a big change in my life has passed and there are times when I feel guilty for havingContinue reading “Update On My Journey After Quitting My 9 to 5”
Silent Nights
Looking out the window in the dead of the night at the quiet streets that are strangely without the white sparkles in the moonlight. I blink a few times to make sure that I’m not hallucinating. A power bigger than myself listened to my prayer because I’m getting my brown Christmas. Yes, there might beContinue reading “Silent Nights”
Twin Cities Con 2023
I know a few weeks have passed since my last post but my world has been filled with life size cats, characters from The Never Ending Story, and very tall Chewbacca’s. I haven’t had that much time at the keyboard because my husband and I were getting ready for our very first Con of theContinue reading “Twin Cities Con 2023”
Fall Update
Fall is in full swing and I feel it’s going by in a blur. All the art and craft fair events are keeping my fingers busy and I haven’t had time to sit at my keyboard. Preptober already started and I realize that the commitment to my goal for my artwork doesn’t leave me timeContinue reading “Fall Update”
Out of Sync
This weekend I had to remind myself to be more patient so that my husband doesn’t have to witness the not so Minnesota nice words that spill out while I’m driving. The end of summer up here means unexpected construction projects and delays. Not to mention that my internal map and clock was off. IContinue reading “Out of Sync”
Road Trip
This weekend it’s time for another road trip with my husband as we pack up our vehicle for our last summer arts and crafts event. We decided to spurge on a hotel for one night because of the long drive back home. This time I let him book our stay because he doesn’t trust meContinue reading “Road Trip”
Minnesota Summer
The temperatures have been in the upper 80’s to the lower 90’s for the past week and I feel like I moved south for the summer. The winds might not smell like salt but a sheen of sweat still covers my skin if I’m outside moving around for more than 5 minutes. Hot and humidContinue reading “Minnesota Summer”
Making the Switch
After spending the weekend with my parents out in the country, it’s been hard to get back into work mode again. Being able to hear the birds chirp without fire trucks going by, or watch a hungry raccoon trying to raid my parent’s bird feeder brought a sense of tranquility that I can’t get inContinue reading “Making the Switch”
Summer Mode
The beginning of my summer is kicking off with a visit to mom and dad for quiet time out in the northern country. Staying out in a place where the city lights are glaring behind curtains and fire trucks are racing down the street go quiet. The first night out of the city feels oddContinue reading “Summer Mode”
Making It Simple
Breaking away from my clay and cramped fingers, I sat down to get in an episode of my Japanese drama series. The lives of two friends go down different paths at the same school as they try to find their way away from their hometown. The way one girl held her smile over a simpleContinue reading “Making It Simple”
