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…

Monday’s Musings
Spent a most delightful morning in the presence of a wonderful woman. What an indulgence. Sadly, an indulgence we often deny ourselves. To be with someone who fills our cup and loves us just as we are in this present moment. An act of mindfulness that is also a gift to self. I am Read more

A long time ago I found an artist’s blog. Her poignant pieces of art, she called “leafology” … the blog is no longer online and I can’t find any indication of it ever being there. That is sad because I’d like to let this artist know how profoundly her work touched me. So if she Read more
