The War of Art is a lovely little book about the struggle to give yourself permission to create. There are entire shelves in the bookstore devoted to this subject. Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way suggests that we all have creativity monsters. Amen, sister. It’s amazing that we have to have books devoted to something as simple as the literary equivalent of...
I hope everyone had a nice holiday and that you are finding time for yourself as things get increasingly more scheduled. I’ve been thinking a lot about Kath’s beautifully written response in her interview about what she looks for in blogs. This phrase keeps going through my mind:
“I love it when the questions are answered,...
Today, I am thankful for you.
Your stopping by here is often the push that I need…a deadline for me to notice things, stop for them and share them. Your comments and emails mean more to me than you know.
I’m finishing up some editing this morning and listening to the fog horns on Charleston Harbor. {They...
I’m writing this from the road so I will have to come back and add in hyperlinks later. I hope everyone is getting ready for a big meal with people you love.
Yesterday, I picked up this year’s Compendium journal at Starbucks called The 1 Book that poses a challenge of figuring out how I am...
“There is a voice inside of you
That whispers all day long,
‘I feel that this is right for me,

-Shel Silverstein

I love finding collaborative blogs where people who love each other are creating together. This has lead me to two amazing, good energy blogs: Shootin’ Sisters and Soeurs du Jour. Both are blogs of...
I know….right?
We buckled under the pressure of 11 consecutive sick days in the house and got a rabbit ears kit for the TV, so if I’m weak and turn it on, I end up watching things that I otherwise would not have been watching during the cable days. Hence the Tyra Banks.
But she had a...
Yesterday, we dusted off the box of holiday books and added a few more to the collection. I bought this version of The Night Before Christmas solely because of the luminous paintings by Tom Browning. It really is the most beautiful edition I’ve seen. It’s easy to rock the Thomas Kinkade kind of cheese with this...
Check out this video {Moments}that I found while visiting Anne Ruthmann’s blog today.
Every life is a collection of these. We all have a filmstrip of memories. They seem small at the time. Or big. Quiet or loud. But, they add up in our beautiful lives. If mine were spliced together like this, they would include many...
