Catalyst 28 – Negative Behavior/Habit I’ve overcome

Negative behavior/habit I’ve overcome: I’ve always been a saver. Not just saving money and things, but saving people. To some extent, it’s been touted as a good attribute; however, it had become a negative in my life. Trying to rescue people – from themselves, from their circumstances, from their addictions, from others – is not [...]

CreativeTherapy Catalyst 26

This week’s CreativeTherapy catalyst is “What is one talent/ability you wish you had?” Though I believe that most talents/abilities can be gained through nurturing them and practicing them, there are some, like singing and dancing, that probably require some sort of real gift. So, here is my response to the catalyst: If there was one [...]

France Travel Journal – Final Installment

Finally, we have reached the final “chapter” of our trip to France. Grab your cup of coffee and a croissant and enjoy! From Aix in Provence, we had a two-hour drive to Nice. Dave and I were both looking forward to a shorter trip than we had the day before. I was quite tired and [...]

One more Paris Post

One more post about Paris. While there, I did take care to relax a lot between activities. It’s a walking city, so I was glad to have my cane. But I needed to be very mindful about my energy. And so I spent a lot of time in our hotel room. There was not much [...]

France Travel Journal, Part 3

Here is the third installment of the Paris part of our trip to France. Grab yourself a cup of coffee or tea and settle in, since it’s a marathon! But there are actual drawings this time, so art abounds! And we’re off… So, after we got rained on – again – and headed to our [...]

French Travel Journal, Part 2

So, where was I? Oh, yes, we were soaking wet in our red touristy ponchos at the Eiffel Tower… After the soaking wet fiasco at the [...]

Post-treatment update; CreativeTherapy

Well, as usual, I’m completely wiped out from treatment. I woke this morning groggy, but I felt good for about an hour and a half. Then the fatigue smacked me down. So, here I sit, in front of the TV on the den couch with my MacBook. Yesterday I was ok for a short time [...]

Feeling creative again

Thank you all for your kind notes and thoughts over the past few days. They mean a lot. I spent Wednesday with Angie and her son Max. Max came over to swim and Angie and I got to do some artwork. I was not quite up for doing much, so I just doodled in my [...]

Mannequin Madness

I’ve kept up with my drawing for the Every Day in May challenge. I have been like a madwoman with my mannequin drawing this week! I think part of the appeal is being able to pose them – reminds me of playing with Barbie as a kid. Granted, it’s been a long time, and the [...]
