  • The Beauty of Change

    The Beauty of Change

    “To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.” -Henri Bergson I said the other day that I was looking for solutions. Maybe it’s not as simple as that. Solutions might work when you’re repairing your car, or fixing a leaky pipe, but life is…

  • The Jubilation Jig

    The Jubilation Jig

    Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. —William Arthur Ward I tried to fast forward last night… and then I closed the book altogether.

  • On the Mark

    On the Mark

    “Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.” -Mary Lou Cook I’ve gone through some of my old posts and images and I’ve found several series that I want to continue on with. I’m going to call them collections or categories though – the word series is OUT. This…
