It is that time again. Time for the 100 Word Challenge for Grownups. This one is the beginning of series of seasonally inspired journeys into creativity, or so I am led to believe. And no doubt there will once again be a whole slew of amazing contributions, as the number of participants in the challenge seems […]
One of the dilemmas in my dichotomous life is the fact that I actively despise capitalism and materialism, yet they are the way of the world. So my choice is to use the tools that I despise so that I may actually live my life, or stop living my life. Unfortunately in the last few years I chose […]
It has been an enlightening several days. For one it is apparent that my recent jump in visibility for both my sites WAS, in fact, a cosmic hiccup. Not totally unexpected. And I had some very eye-opening looks into some very bright mirrors, revealing to me how much junk food I have been feeding my […]

It is a simple fact that no destination can be reached if we do not at least take one step towards it. Often that first step is the hardest. But it also the most important one. No journey can be undertaken until we actually CHOOSE to undertake it. I have been hiding from the world for a few years […]
My vision has many modes these days. I have mostly been viewing the world with blogger vision lately. But before blogger vision I had photo vision. And my eyes will shift into this without effort. Usually when I have no camera available. But a bonus of the new toy I got the other day, is that it […]
I want to be able to move the world!! I want my creations to move people to smile; to laugh; to tears. I want to be able to make someone think. To make someone say, “Yes, that is it!” I want someone to see what I create and miss it when it is gone. I know that […]
