A muse at day’s ending toward a new year
I would be considered ‘retired’ by most people, but not in my mind. I finished two Master’s degrees during our Covid lockdowns and I am chomping at the bit ready to put all that I learned out into the “world”. And I was doing just that, then came a blip.
But we can’t let something like a blip detour our whole plan…or life. So I retreated for a while and now I’m ready, all the way into 2025 to begin again, again.

This is what I am pondering as another Spring season creeps closer and closer.
So, I am making art and making plans too. Plans to bring this idea into focus, a focus so sharp that it materializes itself as an offering into the world that I believe so deeply needs the healing it brings.
As I spend time in the Southern Ontario Wren’s Nest Studio here in Leamington once again, I just need to be open to listen and move to this music that is drawing me. In good time, all will come.
And though what needs birthing feels a little distant, like individual trees in a forest, I do see it shimmering, beckoning, smiling … and I know that if I focus on that which I am being called to do and be, all will be well.
And so it is…

Home and Light
“Home is where the light lives.” ~ Kayce Hughlett “As I lay pondering” I am watching snow pile up, listening to the winds gusting, feeling “tucked-in” and safe and cozy. Though “the weather outside is frightful” the snow does brighten up the view from my window. And I am so very glad to be upright Read more

Pilgrims
Twice in the past few days I have read similar versions of the following story (which I paraphrase): “A troubled pilgrim, exhausted from the journey, asked a sage for help. The sage gazed compassionately into the pilgrim’s eyes and after a time he spoke, “I can offer you one of two things – a map Read more

The promised flip…or turning over a new leaf
The Cereal Box JournalPresentation Sorry, you’ll need to have Powerpoint on your computer… and you may need to “enable editing” to view it properly. I think I need a videographer who’ll work on a barter system… Hope 2015 is wonderful for you. Read more

Thirsty Thursday …
Today it rains. Il pleut. Interestingly enough in French Il pleut can also mean “he cries” or is it “he is crying/weeping”? At any rate, I think the French have it right … for the rain often makes people a little misty-eyed. Strangely enough, not me, not today. Perhaps it is because I have Read more
