Here’s some of my earlier writing…
Sharing stories
Yesterday was incredible. It was just what I dreamed of for the launch of my new site and more. In the morning I wrote a list of things I wanted to get out of the day, and when I checked the list, I realized that every one of those wishes had been fulfilled. And some...

Maddy loves to paint. Once, when she was painting, I said "maybe you'll be an artist when you grow up". She looked at me in that long-suffering way and said "of COURSE I'll be an artist when I grow up. I already am!" If you ask her what kind of art she prefers, she...
Morning in the studio – Come see my new art pieces!
