I have become interested in labyrinths lately. A labyrinth looks like a maze but it only has a single path that leads to the center so you can’t get lost. When my daughter was in the hospital I discovered a labyrinth on the deck outside of the floor below where Claire was. I would often […]
I bumped into a person that I worked with a few years ago and I asked the typical question we usually ask people “how are you doing?” and his response was “living the dream”. Now I know some people say that but don’t mean it but I truly believe he meant it and wasn’t being […]
Do you want to learn how to paint? Do you want to explore your creativity with easy to follow art tutorials? I have exciting news. I have started a YouTube channel.

Support local artisans in this great market. It will […]
Over the years as my girls have been getting older they have started making things to sell at the craft markets that I am involved in. I love seeing the creative things they come up with. It is such a great way to teach them about money from planning out the costs of materials to […]
