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 25

CreativeThreapy’s 25th Catalyst was published yesterday. It’s “What is something you fear?” This one was fairly easy for me. It’s something I live with regularly. One of my greatest fears is that there will be a time when I don’t bounce back from an exacerbation of my chronic illness. There was a time quite a [...]

CreativeTherapy – Catalyst 24

This week’s CreativeTherapy catalyst is “What inspires you?” It was difficult to pick just one thing that inspires me. So many things inspire me – feeling healthy, the smile on my husband’s face, new art supplies, looking out my studio window… It’s a different thing each day. So I realized that the best way to [...]

Art Unraveled – Part 2

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 [...]
