Oh, I'm late in responding. So sorry. THank you, Brenda, love. I appreciate that. Alicia: PERFECTLY stated! Thank you, Chitra. What wise words. And, that is what I try to do, too. We only have this one present moment. We can choose to remain in it and not fall into fear over a false reality that does not yet exisit. One moment, working on what will be the next best step to take. My best to you, too. Namaste.

Oh, Joy. THIS is nothing. Well, I mean it's obviously something and something special bc I wrote about it, but it's barely the TIP of the iceberg. Our art scene has exploded in the last two years and I'm behind on the newer venues. Thank you for commenting!

Taking Care of Children Means Taking Care of You
You matter. Of course you do. But somewhere in the course of parenting, self-care for moms and dads (especially moms) is often forgotten. Here's the deal: You are the foundation of your family. If the foundation is not sturdy, how... Continue reading

The Art of Spring Break: Exhibits, Travel, Presentation
Here, in Nashville, there's a muted silence in the air these chilly, crisp pre-spring days. I'm calling it in between time. The few intermittent days of warm, glorious sunshine brought the buzz of activity. Now, there's a hush in the... Continue reading
