I recently had this realization, that when all my perceived supports got stripped away, I got the chance to see what remained; especially the strengths that may have stayed hidden if the rest had not been removed.
I speak from experience. I had these plans, they were good ones. I had an idea, and the determination and follow through to get it done. Oh, and I also had illusions. They were big ones,...
It’s interesting how color preferences and style can change with you over time, and what impact those changes have in your life.
I spent a lot of time traveling in Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Turkey, and Mexico, and those influences of curves, arches, textures, and color can be seen in the house I built after those travels. You can see the gallery of this house here. There was more to it then...
Progress can be measured in the amount of movement one makes...right? Or maybe not. Especially when one is stepping sideways, lurching backwards and tripping vaguely in the right direction like some drunken dancer staggering on the warped floorboards of an old saloon.
I know I have made change. And not the pocket kind, smart-assed reader. (I can almost see you smirking.) I’ve changed walls and views...
Hey, Beautiful People!,
This is the place that will I put pixel to page, and talk about design, color, classes, and coaching.
Design and color fascinate me; so does the way people function, how they understand and inhabit their world, and what their relationships are like to it.
I’ve been lucky enough to work with some phenomenal teachers over the course of my life, as well as working with...
And now - the view from here:
I was with some wonderful women friends last weekend. One said, "it seems like we are either living and moving through reconstruction or deconstruction in our lives." I have to say, I agree.
I'm at yet another crossroad myself. A juncture of what was and what will be, inward turnings and dismantlement, coupled with building a solo life and a new house. I've been...
Today's early morning breeze brought the smell of Daphne and the first hint of wild plum blossoms wafting by. It lifted my spirit to breath in the wild return of Spring. Of warmth returning and life erupting in fragrant bowers... and then came more of the rain and snow. It’s early Spring in the mountains, and mercurial as hell.
Speaking of mercurial, I am weighing out the 7th St house possibilities...
Okay, so I confess I'm excited. I love the turn of this season, and the unexpected turn of events in my life. Sometimes you just get clear signals and then you're back in the flow, and life is sweet, succulent and beautiful. Now is one of those times.
This last sleepy Sunday afternoon I was walking along with my guy and we spied a house with a for sale sign. Always curious, we checked it out....
I feel like a leaf swept, uplifted and tumbling down my October street, by a soft wind stirred with a twisted ram’s horn, a mix of cornucopia and calliope.
I join all the other leaves that have changed into their bright and fluid colors - Our chlorophyll dissipating, leaving behind the ruby reds, fire, and burnt orange, canary and burgundy, tannin and suede. Beauty in transition, and transformation...
