NaNoWriMo, I love you.
4,224 words for NaNoWriMo. Here is an excerpt: {shhhh!} "Don’t get me wrong. I was cute. Smart. I had dreams as a child of opening my own beauty salon, or becoming an archaeologist who dug up the Egyptian sands. I had a skinny frame, cocoa skin, full lips and luscious long, black shiny hair. ...
All we really have is "this moment"
I tend to live in the future, which of course is formed by "this moment" Just have to remember that more often.
Little big things!
I'm thinking of nanowrimo too. Big commitment but exciting.

Of passages and small packets; a new map to guide us.
Each door opens to opportunity. Without fail. The same as each morning dawns on greater possibilities. I am steadfast in my belief of choice. In choosing we not only architect the journey (yes, I've used architect as a verb! imagine!) but construct the outcome of our longing. Intent is of...
Thanks for sharing this miracle with us. It must have been amazing to see. Remarkable. The story is just beginning. Fly little butterfly. Across the miles. Away you go~ safe journey xo

Meet Frida :)
Now I ask you. Isn't she the most beautiful little creature you have ever seen? Letting her go tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed that the weather is favourable for her. Then she'll make her journey to Mexico, in true bohemian style...mapless and happily enjoying all the moments o...

I dreamed once after my paternal grandmother died that I met her on a beach. We walked hand in hand through the surf while seagulls cried and swooped, and she smiled a beaming smile at me. She assured me she was happy and that this was the place for her. She told me I would join her one da...

Sigh. She's Even Wearing a Red Cardigan and Green Dress on the Cover.
How did I not know about this book until yesterday?! It combines two of my favorite things, Nigella + Christmas...in one place. Josiah (who apparently has his ear to the ground about such things) told me about it last night, and I crowed with glee. Acquiring a copy has moved up to the top of ...
How wonderfully terrific!
Thanks for this:)
I was inspired recently by the movie, Coco Avant Chanel.
She was a true original, with an eye all her own and a driving creative force.

Susanna's Sketchbook
This is Susanna. When I first began blogging some two years ago my friend and blog mentor Maryam told me that Susanna's Sketchbook was the best blog out there. I was living in Marrakech and felt far from the rest of the world. Blogging was a good way to keep in touch. I was in awe of Susanna...

My dad was in the Canadian Air Force too. I loved seeing him in his uniform and hat. Those buttons, yes, those shiny lovely buttons. Brings back nice memories.
Your wee shrine is perfect. I love the idea of magnets to move them around!!

Last year's ofrenda. For the Day of the Dead. Made with skeleton lollipops and sequins :) Dia de los Muertos is upon us again! If I were close to the Mexican border (which I am not) I would have bowls of marigolds laid out (no Marigolds around here!). As it stands, I will have candles lit, ca...

It's seems like ages since I last wrote a post...certainly not the week that it has been. Since then, I started a new sketchbook with photographs, folk songs and notes taped and written on the pages. I finished this book which had me reading til the late hours of night - and thinking about...

Dune grass beckoned by twilight.
This girl loves dune grass. The soft swaying hush in early evening's light, a chorus of lush green blades beautifully serenading each wavelength of dipping golden sun. The wind sweeps through in her ritualistic dance, swirling and twirling with each long arched blade as though it were a l...
I feel like I have just had a cup of tea and a nice chat. Although it was all one sided, it was lovely and relaxing reading your thoughts and impressions. Always is! I have not been around as much...such is the ebb and flow of life and bloggy visits.

Sit. Though you believe there are more pressing things to do.
Sit. Put those tired legs up. Close your eyes, and breathe in deeply. Now if your feet are up, concentrate on relaxing each muscle from your great toes to your hips. Breathe again. Shrug those shoulders a few times, loosen the dust from your joints and set your tensions free. Allow them e...
Coke slushie sounds good. Never had one. Lovely hot summer vacation day treat.
That painting reminded me of the town of Giverny/Vernon. I wonder if it was painted near there.
Ah, you paint such a sweet picture of late summer. I am longing to get away for a summer vacation but it is not going to happen. Maybe a night away at a county B&B will slake my thirst.
