My Swedish Apple Pie still warm from the oven!
These words are going on a sticky note beside my bed.
I make this tender and delicious bread frequently and share it with my neighbor friends.
Addie was not just any cat. I’m quite sure she was a gift from my father - a man who believed a house was not a home unless it included a feline or two.
Nature can still provide us with so much beauty and a deep sense of peace.
My 69th birthday is Sunday, May 8th. It’s also Mother’s Day, and I am missing the hell out of my mom. She was one smart cookie who taught me some great lessons about living well. NOTE: The image here is a detail from her painting named “Poppies.”
At this stage of life, I try to have as few regrets as possible, but …

That’s where I go when things get to people-y.

I’m so honored when someone purchases a piece of my art for their home. This could not be a more beautiful setting!
Seeing the world with an artist's eye opens us up to so much beauty.
I rediscovered this quote by Abraham Maslow and paired it with some of my own art. Don’t his words go straight to your heart?
Launching my art and writing website last year, I wanted to not only display my art for sale, but also share my low-budget journey of self-discovery following retirement from twenty year career in management. A bohemian soul with an accountant’s brain, I’ve learned a trick or two about saving money and finally following my bliss. Read how I saved $150 on a lawn mower battery and bought art supplies instead!
To have people who care about me, a roof over my head, food in my fridge, art supplies, and my wits about me (more or less) - these things are such gifts.
