Story Doodle

I added here and there to my drawing and was surprised to see a story structure emerge. Do you remember doodling as a child? Sometimes I would try to draw people and animals, but I used to doodle all the time, drawing swirling images and coloring them. This morning, I drew a doodle, though this … Continue reading Story Doodle

Some things were easy to give away, some a little more difficult. But after releasing them, I felt freer. I'm actually looking forward to doing this … Continue reading Update on Treasures

In the Midst of the Storm

As January 2021 comes to a close, it seems surreal. This month has been a whirlwind--with wind being the operative word. Here in the East Bay Area of California, we've had several windstorms. This morning, a friend of mine found a rather large trampoline in her swimming pool. Stormy weather has wreaked havoc with downed … Continue reading In the Midst of the Storm

Treasures

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures..." Over the last twenty-two days, Kevin and I have been purging—going through clothes, shoes, movies, and random stuff in our home. One would think this a monumental task, overwhelming because of the challenging way we decided to do it. It seemed easy at first. January 1, we set … Continue reading Treasures
