One Step Two steps forward; one step back is this week’s theme. Just when I started to celebrate my progress, BAM! I must regroup. This is discouraging. However, it is also the life of an artist.

Finishing Up It’s time to finish up. I’ve been juggling several art projects and one personal project in 2023. I’m ready to finish.

Are You Flexible? That’s a good question. Am I flexible? I think I am, but I have been told I am not. Perhaps the true answer falls somewhere in the middle. I do adhere to routines. I find them invaluable to help propel me forward into my day and also to reduce time spent dithering… Continue reading Week in Review 2023 – 03/10

Stop the World… Stop the world, I want to get off. Well not really, but sometimes my world seems to gather speed, spinning wildly and I can barely hang on. This happens whenever my life is off balance because it seems all aspects, family, health, commitments, art and more demand my immediate attention.

Deadline What did you feel when you read the headline “Deadline”? Did it fill you with dread or perhaps get your adrenaline pumping? When I hear hear the word deadline, I chuckle.
