Or we try to, at least! With every project planned and presented, so many little things can go wrong. You do your best to anticipate the mistakes, to foreshadow the accidents, to provide just the right amount of what to do and what to avoid! So I make several examples for each project, then of…… Continue Reading
Having less, doing less, can often bring the biggest reward. Sometimes keeping it simple, not overworking anything, brings the best results. We’ve all heard that fewer calories eaten each day lead to a longer life. Along with that, less sweets, carbs, red meat, and processed foods also bring a healthier way of life. Plus, the…… Continue Reading
Passion is the Confidence to Expand Yourself! I recently heard of a woman who ran a large Non-Profit in Washington, D.C., who upon retirement, pursued scuba diving certification. She now travels the world, seeking out new scuba experiences. Possibly it was always on her ‘bucket’ list, a term I really don’t like very much. But…… Continue Reading

Music, Tastes, Scents, Touch take you back in Time I heard Tangerine Dream on Soundscapes today and was immediately taken back to 1987, when a group of women artists and I rented a beach house on the shores of Lake Michigan for 3 days during Summer Solstice. We walked the beach, tuned out, tuned in,…… Continue Reading
Clean up your act, and see what Happens! The Universe hates a void! Every time we have downsized, or thought we were de-cluttering our life of THINGS, the Universe has opened up new doors to experience! Each time I’ve moved, and there have been many moves in my life, I have cleaned out, donated, sold,…… Continue Reading
Wabi-Sabi has intrigued me for decades! I made this bowl in the ’70’s, when I first heard of Wabi-Sabi.
