Day 25 of My 30 Days of Creativity Challenge. Ever notice sometimes that you’re holding your breath? You feel as if the other shoe is gonna drop? Or feel, I dunno … like things are too good and it’s an “ominous sign?” My one swipe painting reminded me of this. Of someone looking for forgiveness. …
Day 22 of My 30 Days of Creativity Challenge. I used to believe that I lived this ordinary life. Working, raising my children, doing the parent thing while others around me appeared to be living lives that were “exciting.” Here’s the truth … I loved and still love my life. Even when I was single …
Day 21 of My 30 Days of Creativity Challenge. How far would you go for someone you love? You’d go pretty far, yes? But what about if that someone was yourself? Would you still go as far? Working on Valentine’s cards and it made me think … There was a time in my life where …
Day 20 of My 30 Day Creativity Challenge … I didn’t really create anything new today. Well, I take that back … I spent some time today working on some paintings and cards I already had. Playing, adding layers, enjoying myself. My paintings are a lot like me. I’m the same, yet I’m different. I …

Day 14 of my 30 Days of Creativity Challenge. It’s 2300 and I’m at work, on my lunch break. I know, it’s late. I had a long night last night and all I wanted to do when I got home was to sleep. If you have ever been in healthcare and have worked any hours …
Day 12 of my 30 Days of Creativity Challenge. Too many times I’ve looked at my work, admiring with a happy heart, only to feel a bit of questioning, wondering if what I’ve created is “good enough.” It’s fleeting, lasting only a moment, but that moment of doubt is a disservice to my creation. What …
Day 11 of my 30 Days of Creativity Challenge. I didn’t have a clear idea of what I would create today. I was kind of just going thru the motions, playing with paint and just thankful to be able to create. I have to admit that I was multi-tasking also: cleaning out my space and …
Day 10 of my 30 Days of Creativity Challenge. Who remembers Spirograph?!? Ugh! So. Much. Fun! So many memories! I remember getting my first one. I remember I was with my Grandma at the GoodWill store in San Francisco when I saw it and I begged her to please get it for me! It was …
