This has been one of those weeks where I’ve found myself wishing for greener pastures. But, just for today (thanks to Liz Elayne), I’m going to focus on five things that make my life (just as it is) really good…

Another Wreck This Journal entry…
these hands…
grandma always said my long fingers were meant for a piano
on my left hand lives my wedding ring – older now, worn down in places, showing its age…
just like these hands.
these hands…
blood veins seem bluer
freckles have spread to become age spots (ugly word)
and my life line grows deeper every year.

Several weeks ago, I blogged about rearranging my art studio for dual use as an art studio / yoga room. It was fantastic! That is, until I started my first art project. Normally, I spread everything out and just shut the door when it’s time for a break – now I had to put everything away [...]

I love the retreat process and have made it my goal in life to not only provide opportunities for women to retreat, but also to attend at least one retreat per year myself. Several weeks ago, I read about a writer’s retreat offering from Jennifer Louden (The Comfort Queen) and Suzanne Falter-Barnes. I’m a big fan of [...]

I’m planning a mini-retreat in March and, since it will be early spring (fingers crossed, anyway), my theme is Pulling Weeds and Cultivating Growth. As I worked tonight putting together journaling prompts, I was thinking about weeds and wildflowers and how sometimes the same growing thing can be considered both a weed and a wildflower, depending [...]

Borrowed some words from Magnetic Poetry Online…

By nature, I am not a messy person. There are times when my desk gets a little cluttered, but generally it’s not too long before I take a quick clean-up break. When I was in school, I would rewrite (or reprint) a paper if it got smudged or even wrinkled. If I see a chocolaty [...]

I’ve had an old tin full of buttons in my craft room for years. I would occasionally dig into it for a doll project or for a suitable button replacement, but can’t say that I had much appreciation for my buttons until I started blogging.
When Liz Elayne posted about a beautiful button find a few weeks ago, [...]

Tawny over at Constant State of Flux tagged me to share some weird facts about myself. This is the first time I’ve been tagged for anything, so thanks Tawny – this will be fun! (hope you don’t mind if I bend the rules a little…)
I keep the toilet paper in my guest bathroom inside a little [...]
