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.

Work In Progress
A new week has begun and I’m on break from my show circuit for a few weeks. Having back to back shows was a new challenge for me, especially because I have a handmade business. Growing a business that relies on you to finish multiple novels or art pieces is a constant learning experience. BeingContinue reading “Work In Progress”
Making It Simple

Showtime!
The late nights this week have me droppy-eyed. The sacrifice of sleep for my art and my writing may mean that a few days off are in order.

Getting Real
Yesterday I woke up feeling like I had flown on the red eye flight twice in one night. I opened one eye in the morning expecting monster sized red veins but surprisingly I looked normal. My body leaned closer to the mirror in disbelief. How did I look normal with all the tossing and turningContinue reading “Getting Real”
Monday Blues

While the temperature rises I’m struggling with a looming deadline and I’m learning to live with my own inner rebellion. What do I mean? Every time I set a high goal, IContinue reading “Monday Blues”
